Buddy Hield unsure if he’ll defend his 3-point contest title

In the midst of a disastrous night for the Sacramento Kings, Buddy Hield made a little history. With his seventh 3-pointer against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, Hield made his 1,000th career 3-pointer. It took 350 games for Hield to reach that mark, which is the fewest amount of games it’s taken any player to make 1,000 career 3-pointers by 19 games. Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry previously held the record at 369 games.

Hield talked about his achievement after the Kings’ loss on Sunday.

“It’s a humbling to be one of the guys that’s the first to 1,000 [3-pointers],” Hield said.
