Robinson Sets Record with 1000th Three-Pointer
In a recent game against the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat’s sharpshooter Duncan Robinson nailed 7 three-pointers, totaling 30 points, and set the record for the fewest games to reach 1000 three-pointers in NBA history. Interestingly, despite his nickname “A-shay-ge” (阿舍哥) derived from his love for Taiwanese instant noodles, Robinson surpassed even the renowned Stephen Curry by 26 games in achieving this milestone.
Robinson’s Journey to 1000 Three-Pointers
Robinson, known affectionately as “A-shay-ge,” achieved this feat in his 343rd career game by sinking his 1000th three-pointer in the first quarter, approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game.
Comparing Records
While Robinson reached the milestone in 343 games, Curry, currently holding the record for the most career three-pointers with 3,683, took 369 games to hit his 1000th. Despite the disparity in games, Curry’s career three-point shooting percentage of 42.6% remains unmatched.
Robinson’s Efficiency
This season, Robinson has been averaging 7.1 three-point attempts per game with a shooting percentage of 40.1%. His efficiency from beyond the arc has been remarkable throughout his career.
Robinson’s Impact on the Court
Robinson’s performance against the Pistons wasn’t just about breaking records; he showcased his efficiency by making 10 of his 15 field goal attempts, including 7 three-pointers. Additionally, he contributed 5 assists and 4 rebounds to help secure the Miami Heat’s victory.
Acknowledging Other Players
Robinson’s achievement places him ahead of players like Buddy Hield, Luka Doncic, and Donovan Mitchell in the race to 1000 three-pointers, all of whom were lottery picks. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy considering Robinson was not drafted into the NBA.
Robinson’s Consistency
Robinson’s consistency in three-point shooting is evident from his performance over the seasons. He has surpassed the 200-three-pointer mark for three consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2022, with his highest single-season total reaching 270. Currently, he has already accumulated 181 three-pointers this season, on track to exceed the 200 mark once again.(Lvbet)
