The Minnesota Timberwolves made a blockbuster offseason trade with the Charlotte Hornets to acquire exciting point guard LaMelo Ball, and he's made an immediate impact this season.
In Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he got off to a hot start, connecting on his first four 3-pointers in five attempts.
That also helped him achieve some impressive NBA history along the way.
According to StatMuse, Ball became the fastest player in NBA history to reach 1,000 career 3-pointers, accomplishing the feat in just 311 games.
The milestone illustrates his prolific shooting from beyond the arc.
Ball has attempted over 2,700 3-pointers during his career, averaging 3.3 makes on 8.8 attempts per game.
His milestone reflects the NBA's growing emphasis on long-range shooting, a trend impacted and popularized by stars such as two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry.
