Here's a look at the shot that put Smart ahead of Bird.
It's pretty remarkable that Smart has made that many 3-point shots during his career. He doesn't have a reputation as a very good shooter, but he has steadily worked to improve his accuracy from deep. And over the last three seasons, Smart has shot a respectable 35.2 percent from behind the arc.
Now, Smart is trailing just three players on the 3-point makes list: Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker, and Ray Allen.
| Rank | Player | 3-pointers made |

| 2 | Antoine Walker | 937 |
