Hornets’ Kon Knueppel makes NBA history with 100th made 3-pointer

Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel continues to turn heads with his stellar shooting and mature game. On Monday, he even reached an impressive feat against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the dying seconds of the first quarter, the 20-year-old rookie nailed a three-pointer. It didn’t matter that Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball closed out on him. Knueppel still swished it for his 100th trifecta of the season.

With it, he set an NBA record for being the fastest to reach 100 three-pointers, doing it in just 29 games. He beat the previous record of Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen.
