Trivia Tuesday: Most 3-pointers in NBA Finals history

Jun 11, 2019, 7:32 AM

Follow @AZSports...

The three-point shot has come a long way.

In the first NBA Finals to feature the three as part of the game — the 1980 matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers — there was one made shot…in the whole series.

For comparison’s sake, in this year’s Finals, the Warriors and Raptors have combined for 124 made threes in the first five games of the series.

Your Trivia Tuesday challenge this week is to name the all-time marksmen in NBA Finals history. There have been 26 players who have made 26 or more threes in Finals competition.

We’ve given you the number of threes each player made, the teams they played for in the Finals and eight minutes on the clock.

Good luck!
