MIAMI — Since the NBA introduced the 3-point shot in 1979, there have been 206 players who have attempted at least 65 long balls in a single postseason. Entering these playoffs, only 23 had knocked down at least 45% of those triple tries.
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White became the 24th earlier this postseason. Take a wild guess who’s about to become No. 25. I’ll give you a hint: It’s the guy who seems to set some kind of statistical record damn near every time he steps onto the court.
