Truly unbelievable
Only 1 player in NBA history has hit >42% on 3s while attempting at least 11 per 36 minutes, according to Basketball-Reference. He has done it 5 times. That player is Steph Curry. Someone else is on pace to become the second player ever in this group: Malik Beasley. Wow. What a season.

I, for one, am shocked that Cade Cunningham is in the 3-point contest.
Speaks to how the league sees him, as one of their young stars that they want to prioritize.
