LaMelo Ball Makes NBA History with His Three-Pointers

LaMelo Ball made his mark on NBA history in an unexpected category. The point guard, who wore the Charlotte Hornets jersey, was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves this summer and made history in his first few games with his new team.

On the night of November 3, Ball scored 34 points, grabbed 6 rebounds and hit 6 of 13 three-pointers against the Milwaukee Bucks. He reached 1,000 career three-pointers in 311 games, becoming the fastest player in NBA history to reach that mark. The previous record in this category belonged to Duncan Robinson, who got to 1,000 threes in 343 games.

Ball is a very different player in style from Robinson, but he still stood out in the three-point record. The young star also became the 188th player in NBA history to surpass the 1,000 three-pointer mark.
