The Knicks Steve Novak this year led the NBA in three-point shooting percentage with a .472 mark. He also accomplished a couple other milestones this season:

* He became the 10th player in NBA history to make 130 or more three-point shots in a season but not start a single game for his team that year.

* Novak became only the second player in NBA history to have more than 80 percent of his field goal made in the season be three-pointers. He made 133 three pointers this season and only 28 two-point shots.

Following are the NBA players who had a season where more than 65 percent of their field goals made were from beyond the three-point arc.
