The last two NBA champions could not be any more different in terms of the shots they prefer to take. The Boston Celtics comfortably led the league in 3-point attempts per game with 42.5 last season, won their 18th banner, then took the trend to new extremes. They’re averaging 50.2 attempts this season, the most in NBA history and six more than any other team in 2024-25. The Denver Nuggets are also leaning further into their greatest strength.
