Spurs guard Steve Smith (above) entered the season a 34.5% three-point shooter for his 10-year career, with a high of 40.2% in 1992-93. Through Sunday's games Smith was knocking down 56.7% of his threes (55 of 97). Since the inception of the trey, in '79-80, the 50% mark (minimum 25 three-pointers made) has been reached only six times. Smith's current percentage would top those players by a long shot.—David Sabino
