That is to say, Harden now has 2,975 made 3's (36.3% 3PT) in 1,086 career games, while Allen made 2,973 3's (40% 3PT) in 1,300 games, but did it on 750+ less attempts.

After accomplishing this feat, Harden, 35, spoke on how much it means to him.
"Unbelievable accomplishment. Just a testament to the amount of work that I've been putting in. As I get older and just chip away at an unbelievable career, I start to accomplish things like that. So I don't ever want to take it for granted. I just want to give motivation to the youth and every other person that's chasing a dream to play professional basketball or whatever it is. So it's an honor."
Harden trash talk to Ray Allen after drilling a three in his face:
"You're the greatest of all time, but its my time now."
That time is now. 🔥

To point out, there is now only one player, Stephen Curry, who stands in the way of Harden becoming the all-time leader in 3's made. However, Harden says that he and maybe no one else has a chance to break Curry's record (currently 3,782 career 3's).
Most 3PM all-time:
🥇Steph Curry (3,782)

James Harden on if he or anyone can catch Stephen Curry on the all-time 3-pointers made list:
“I'm one of the most confident guys that we have in this league, but nah, I probably won't catch Steph. And... I don't think anybody will, honestly, just because... Steph started in....… pic.twitter.com/GUyj5ylGXv

"I'm one of the most confident guys that we have in this league," Harden said. "But no, I probably won't catch Steph. And I don't think anybody will honestly... I don't know man... he can shoot the s*** out the ball... So, somebody has to have an unbelievable career, shoot the ball well and make a lot of 3s. I mean if it happens, it's going to be when we're not here anymore. So that'll be in there for a minute."
