He established his reputation as a prolific long range shooter in the very first season of his professional career when he hit 61 three pointers in 1987-88 season, most by any rookie in NBA. In later years, he emerged as a clutch performer as well, who can score and hit three pointers when his team needs the most.

    3. Jason Kidd– 1988

    Jason Kidd is not as natural and accurate three point shooter as the aforementioned players. Still, he is in the third place on all the made three pointers list with 1988. He shoots only 35 percent beyond the three point arc, less than any player in this list.
