INSIDE THE NBA

Hot Numbers: Three-for-All

by David Sabino

Posted: Wed March 25, 1998

Since he drained his 456th trey on April 17, 1989, to surpass the career total of Larry Bird, the Sonics' Dale Ellis has been the NBA's alltime leader in three-pointers made. But the Pacers' Reggie Miller has been charging hard to seize the 37-year-old Ellis's triple crown. Through Sunday's games Miller, 32, who is now coached by Bird, trailed his fellow 6'7" sharpshooter by only nine threes. Here's how the NBA's two best long-range shooters stack up.
