Rookie Knueppel races to NBA three-pointer record
The NBA world is buzzing after a historic performance by Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel. In a dominating 131-99 victory over the Chicago Bulls, the 20-year-old sharpshooter didn't just help his team win; he etched his name into the record books. The New King of the Three-Pointer Kon Knueppel has officially become the fastest player in NBA history to reach 200 career three-pointers. While most players take years to master the long-range shot at a professional level, Knueppel has done it in record time. Here is how his achievement stacks up: Speed Record: It took Knueppel only 58 games to hit his 200th three-pointer. Beating the Best: He shattered the previous record held by Duncan Robinson, who took 69 games to reach the same milestone. Knueppel did it in 11 fewer games. Rookie Royalty: He is only the second rookie in the history of the league to ever reach 200 three-pointers in a single season. Currently, Knueppel leads the entire NBA with 201 three-pointers this season. He is now on the verge of breaking another massive record: the most threes ever made by a player in their debut season.
