Crazy but true… [neurotic city] Derrick White is now the 2nd NBA player EVER to record 5+ 3-pt FG and 3+ blocks in consecutive games. The first? Luke Kornet (!) as a member of the Knicks in 2019

Luke…..Kornet? Hit 5 threes in a game?? In back to back contests?!?
Don’t think I’ve ever even seen him hit a three for the C’s that’s mind blowing.
Luke becoming a roller and rim runner saved his career
Way more efficient than him taking the threes he used to
I had no idea Kornet was capable of shooting that well.
This feels like it should be a Drunk History episode if they made them about sports, with Luke getting drunker and drunker as he tells the tale of five 3-pointers.
Kind of crazy stat but Luke holds the NCAA record for most 3s by a 7-footer
In one of those games, Kornet attempted 13 threes. That’s as many as he’s taken in the last two seasons for us.
