On the Day of Stephen Curry vs Sabrina Ionescu, 19 YO Star Sets New 3 Point Record

While the entire US was busy with the NBA All-Star Weekend and the first-ever NBA vs WNBA 3-point contest starring Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu, another young athlete was writing his own script. Duke’s freshman shooting guard — Jared McCain — made a 3-pointer record himself against the Florida State Seminoles. The California Mr. Basketball (2023) grabbed a whopping 35 points against his hosts.

With a remarkable performance, Jared McCain has set a straight path in his very first season with the Blue Devils. Here is how the immaculate baller performed tonight.

Jared McCain grabs two Duke freshman records

Jared McCain made his debut on the hardwood for the Blue Devils on November 7th, 2023, in a huge opening win against Dartmouth. Since then, he has made an impactful contribution to the team. However, his best form came tonight against the Seminoles. Apart from some clever trick shots, the FIBA Americas Under-18 gold medalist equaled Zion Williamson with 35 points. Along with this, he also made a record for most 3-pointers by a Duke freshman by bagging 8 3-pt.

Surely, Jared gave a strong display of skills as he made all the basketball fans stand up with his three consecutive 3-pointers. Further, he had some crazy shots and dribbling abilities to confuse the Florida State roster. On the other hand, Stephen Curry grabs a win with 29 points against Sabrina who made 26 points in the NBA All-Star Weekend 3-point contest. Along with Jared, senior guard of the Blue Devils — Jeremy Roach — also made 17 points against the Florida State Seminoles.
