When you think of all-time NBA playoff records, names like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Stephen Curry usually come to mind. But there's a new sharpshooter writing his own chapter in postseason history—and he wears purple and gold.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura currently holds the highest career three-point percentage in NBA playoff history. That's right—no player in league history has been more accurate from beyond the arc in the postseason than Hachimura, who boasts a staggering 50.8% mark from deep.

Let that sink in. In an era defined by three-point shooting, Hachimura has quietly become the most efficient playoff sniper the game has ever seen. His hot shooting continued in Friday night's win over the Houston Rockets, further cementing a record that might surprise even the most die-hard basketball fans.

What makes this feat even more impressive is the context. During the regular season, Hachimura is a solid 39.4% shooter from three—respectable but not record-breaking. However, this season he elevated his game to 44.3% from deep, suggesting his postseason heroics are no fluke. The 6'8" forward has simply found another gear when the lights shine brightest.

Hachimura's shooting form has always been a thing of beauty. Dating back to his college days at Gonzaga, scouts praised his mechanically sound release and high release point. But in the NBA, he's added confidence to that foundation. He doesn't just shoot—he believes every shot is going in.

As Hachimura continues to let it fly from long range, his track record makes one thing clear: he absolutely should keep shooting. When you're making half your playoff threes, the math speaks for itself. For Lakers fans and basketball purists alike, watching Hachimura rise up from deep has become one of the postseason's most reliable thrills.
