During the 2015 season, he made it to the All-Star team for the first time in his career. Korver set an NBA record in the 2009-10 season when he was playing for the Utah Jazz where he knocked down 53.6 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.

Korver is currently fourth on the list of all-time 3-point scoring leaders with 2218 threes made after 5141 attempts with a three-point field-goal percentage of 43.1. He is one of the oldest players in the league currently and is in his third season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
