Warriors’ Buddy Hield Hits Sharpshooter Milestone vs. Spurs

The The Golden State Warriors are completely focused on Stephen Curry’s championship pursuit. However, the front office decided on a committee approach to replacing Klay Thompson. Curry couldn’t be the only shooter on the court Draymond Green roamed the restricted area. Steve Kerr has been warming up to Buddy Hield lately, and that trust led to the sharpshooter reach a new career milestone against the San Antonio Spurs.

Hield hit his first three shots against the Spurs to pass Joe Johnson for 19th on the NBA three-point record list. Hield’s 1,979 beyond-the-arc buckets-and-counting is an impressive feat for the journeyman drafted by the New Orleans Pelicans. Dirk Nowitzki (1,982) and Jason Kidd (1988) are next time in the standings.

However, it will be nearly impossible to catch Curry, who has made 3,797 three-pointers for the first time ever. However, Hield can dream of jumping into the top 15. He is less than 60 made three-pointers behind Eric Gordon for 16th all-time and should catch Paul Pierce (2,143) before the 2025 NBA playoffs begin.
