March 13, 2023. That date signifies the last time that Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Atlanta Hawks did not connect on a three-pointer. He made at least one in each of the last 11 games of 2022-23, all 79 of his appearances in 2023-24, and in his 10 outings thus far in 2024-25.
Add that all up and that brings the 32-year-old Bogdanovic to 100 consecutive games with a three-point make. He reached triple-digits in Friday night’s victory in overtime over the Los Angeles Lakers. The shooting guard made four of his nine attempts from beyond the arc.
Even with the three-point shot becoming more and more prevalent in each ensuing season, Bogdanovic became just the fourth player to reach that mark.
Bogdanovic Reaches Three-Point Streak Done By Now Only Four
Bogdanovic Has Made A Three-Point Shot In 100 Straight Outings
Now with 100 straight games with a three-point make, Bogdanovic joins an exclusive list featuring just three other players. The only other three players who had done so prior to Bogdanovic are Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, and Kyle Korver.

Of course, it should not be a surprise that Curry has done so. Not only does he have the all-time record with a whopping 268 games, but he has another streak of 157 straight which is the second-most ever as well. Curry, now 36, has by far the most three-pointers of all-time with 3,817, a number that will continue to rise.
Lillard had a streak of 150 straight contests connecting on a trey. His streak started while with the Portland Trail Blazers and actually ended in last season’s regular season finale for the Milwaukee Bucks. Now 34 years old, Lillard currently has 2,674 made three-pointers, good for eighth-most all-time.
The only retired player on the list, Korver had a streak of 127 consecutive games with a three-pointer. The 17-year veteran was one of the great sharpshooters that the game has ever seen. He led the league in three-point accuracy four times and shot 42.9% from beyond the arc for his career. Korver made 2,450 from deep in his career, the eighth-most in NBA history.
One Of The Most Productive Off The Bench
Bogdanovic is now in his fifth season with the Hawks. He spent his first three seasons in the league with the Sacramento Kings. Now 32 years old, Bogdanovic played professionally overseas before joining the NBA in 2017.
Through much of his time with Atlanta, Bogdanovic has been one of the most-productive reserves in the league. He finished fifth in Sixth Man of the Year voting last season and sixth in 2021-22. He has not started a game yet this season.
Playing 25.3 minutes per contest in his 10 games in 2024-25, Bogdanovic has posted averages of 12.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals. The eight-year veteran has shot 40.8% from the field, 35.3% on three-point tries, and 11/12 (94.1%) from the charity stripe.
Bogdanovic could move up to second on the all-time list if he remains in the lineup and continues to make at least one three-pointer. Bogdanovic would need to hit a three in each of his next 58 games, and Atlanta has exactly that many games left. He can extend his streak to 101 games at home on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets.
