Year	Player	3P%	Stood for
1994	Steve Kerr	52.4%	still standing
1987	Craig Hodges	49.1%	7 years
1986	Danny Ainge	44.3%	1 year
1979	Brian Taylor	37.7%	7 years

The earliest marks here are records only in the sense that nobody had done better yet. Season length, schedule and the rules themselves have all changed, so a figure from the 1870s is not comparable with a modern one and is not offered as though it were.
