Trailing Only Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball Hits Major Career Milestone vs Celtics

In the last few years, the Charlotte Hornets haven’t had any noteworthy NBA seasons. The team always found themselves at the bottom of the table. Notably, they made their last presence in the Playoff in 2016, which they lost in the first round. Despite all the setbacks, their fans have something to cherish and cheer for, it is LaMelo Ball. The 22-year-old star, who is currently playing his fourth season, has always impressed the NBA world with his skills on the court. On top of that, he registered a personal milestone during the Monday night clash against the Boston Celtics.

However, the story hasn’t changed much. The team currently holds the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference, and doesn’t look like a side that’ll make the playoffs. Let’s find out the difference that Ball has created for the Charlotte fans.

LaMelo Ball drops a major NBA milestone

LaMelo Ball has a huge reputation for his shooting skills, especially from the arc. In his four-season-long career, the star has dropped several clutch three-pointers. Ball’s famous bunny hopping walk after dropping a game-winning three-pointer has always been doing rounds in the NBA social media.

After four long years of leading the franchise with his offensive plays, the star has something to cherish about, his name etched in the record books.

The star recorded 500 career three-pointers along with two records. He became the second-fastest player to accomplish the feat. He did it in 175 games, second to Duncan Robinson, who did it in 152 games. On the other hand, he became the third youngest player to achieve this feat, behind Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic.

He went on to achieve this feat during the close game against the Celtics, dropping five 3-pointers which helped him reach 36 points.
