Bulls 110, Knicks 102: “Markkanen can shoot”

Did you know in 1993 Manute Bol hit six 3s in a half?

You can tell from the Phoenix fans’ reactions how amazing this event was, for several reasons:

  • 1993 was not a time when players took 3s. That postseason, the Knicks played 15 games. In only one did they or their opponent make more than six 3s as a team (Chicago, Game 4). In many games, the teams didn’t even combine for six.
  • Bigs especially did not launch from behind the arc back then. Patrick Ewing was the premiere jump-shooting center of his time.
