Before the usual reactions start: Curry is still the greatest shooter ever. No debate there. He changed the game, his efficiency is untouched, and his peak is legendary.

But when it comes strictly to career TOTAL 3-pointers made, Anthony Edwards is on a trajectory that could realistically surpass Curry — and the numbers at the same age are honestly not even close.

Career comparison at age 24 (first 21 games of the season):

Anthony Edwards:

• Entered the NBA 2 years earlier
• Has been far more durable
• Already more than 2.5x Curry’s total threes at the same age
• His current trend is 4+ threes per game and rising

Projections (assuming normal NBA aging, no crazy hypotheticals):

Even using conservative 3PM averages (3.5, 4.0) and 4.5:

• With 85% games played → Edwards passes Curry by age 36 in all scenarios
• With Curry’s own availability rate (79%) → Still passes him in all scenarios
• Even with heavy injury scenario (only 65% games) → He still passes Curry if he averages 4.5 3PM

Curry currently sits at 4133 career threes.
In multiple realistic paths, Edwards clears that before or right at 37.
