Fans have seen Stephen Curry’s name being attached to every possible 3-point record. However, this time around it was Indiana Pacers’ sharpshooter Buddy Hield who turned up the heat since the tip off to register the fastest ever shot from downtown registered in the NBA since its inceptions.
It just took Buddy 3 seconds to put his Indiana Pacers on the scoreboard. What’s even more interesting? This record was previously held by another Pacers’ marquee Hall of Fame – Reggie Miller who scored a bucket in just four seconds.
Talking about the particular play – Myles Turner won the tip off, passing the ball straight to the hand of his teammate Buddy Hield. While the entire Cleveland Cavaliers’ starting 5 hoped for Hield to take his time, it seems like the marquee 3-Point shooter had already warmed his sleeves prior to the tip off as he just turned a knocked an impressive bucket.
Buddy Hield hits the fastest 3-Pointer in League History
Talking about the previous moment, Reggie Miller, who is one of the most celebrated to have never won a championship, held the record since March 5, 2000, when he nailed the quickest fastest 3-poimter against the Golden State Warriors at the Oracle Arena in Oakland (in a 114-95 win).
It is no coincidence that Buddy Hield has achieved such an incredible record this season. While glory comes to the feet of those who try, Hield has been playing well for his team since the beginning of the 2022-23 season.
After hitting the ‘dagger,’ Buddy built upon his positive start by hitting 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the particular contest. While Aaron Nesmith had 22, Tyrese Haliburton had 29 and Benedict Mathurin had 23 points respectively.
