Since entering the league in 2011, Kyrie Irving has been known for his excellent dribbling and smart layups. However, as the era has increased the requirements for outside shooting ability, his three-pointer has gradually become a scoring weapon. This season, Irving averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 39%. His stable shooting makes him more threatening on the offensive end.

Kobe Bryant was known for his all-round scoring ability and big heart in the key moments during his career. Most of his 1,827 three-pointers came from key games and important moments. Although he never used three-pointers as his main offensive means, this achievement still occupies a place in NBA history. Now, Irving has surpassed Kobe with the accumulation and efficiency of three-pointers, showing that the modern NBA attaches great importance to long-range shooting.

Kobe and Irving are two completely different types of players. Kobe relies more on mid-range jumpers and fadeaways, while Irving is known for his excellent ball handling skills and varied offensive methods. Although the two have different styles, they both showed excellent finishing ability in key games. Irving's surpassing Kobe this time is more a reflection of the changes in the times and the evolution of the game.

As his career continues, Irving's three-point shooting is expected to continue to rise, and even hit the top 20. At present, he has become an important core figure on the Mavericks' offense. His health and stable performance will determine whether he can continue to create more historical records in the future. For fans, this milestone is just part of Irving's wonderful career, and more exciting moments are still waiting to be staged.
