A Milwaukee native is officially rewriting the NBA record books.
Kon Knueppel, the 2024 Mr. Basketball out of Milwaukee’s Wisconsin Lutheran, is having a historic rookie season for the Charlotte Hornets.
Tuesday night, in just his 58th career game, Knueppel became the fastest player in NBA history to reach 200 career 3-pointers.
The 20-year-old shattered the previous record by 11 games and reached the milestone nearly twice as fast as the legendary Steph Curry.
The 6-foot-6 Knueppel is also already chasing down the biggest names to ever come out of the Wisconsin.
Right now, Kenosha’s Nick Van Exel holds the all-time record for Wisconsin-born players with 1,528 career triples, followed by Milwaukee South’s Terry Porter — a UW-Stevens Point graduate — at 1,297.
Knueppel currently leads the entire NBA in made 3s this season, shooting 43.5% from beyond the arc, averaging 19.2 points.
