And now we're talking about Khan breaking that record in 59 games played.
Forget rookie records.
What we're seeing from Khan Kanipal is rare, period.
He has 209 threes through 59 games.
I looked it up on StatHead.
There are only 15 other players in NBA history, I don't care what year of their career it was, who reached that number through their first 59 games of the season.
And to really put this in perspective,
Klay Thompson, Klay, Splash Brother, one of the greatest shooters of all time.
He only did it once in his career, reaching 209 three-pointers by his 59th game.
I triple-checked that because it sounded so wrong, but it is true.
And Khan is doing that as a rookie at 20 years old.
Those other 15 guys I mentioned, the youngest to ever do it, just hit 209 through your first 59 games.
It was Anthony Edwards last year at age 23.
Khan is 20.
We may very well be watching the first chapter in one of the greatest shooters in League history.
Yeah.
And I think that is well deserving of a what.
All right, Andrew, it's time for the Wheel of Fandom, the weekly segment where we spin a wheel, it lands on a team, and we become fans of that team for the next week.
Last week, the wheel landed on the Dallas Mavericks and their exciting rookie Cooper Flagg.
Oh, boy, finally a chance to lock in on Cooper Flagg for a week.
