Milwaukee Bucks star point guard Damian Lillard has booked a place in the history books as he became the fourth-highest three-pointer in the NBA.
The 33-year-old achieved that milestone during the match against the Los Angeles Lakers where he ended up registering three 3-pointers for the team.
With that first three-pointer, he overtook Indiana Pacers legendary guard Reggie Miller on the list.
Lillard has now registered 2,564 three-pointers and he is only behind the Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry (3,680), Milwaukee Bucks’ Ray Allen (2,973) and the Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (2,910).
Lillard, who is averaging 3.09 three-pointers per game throughout his career, is amongst the only four players in that list who are averaging more than three 3-pointers per game. The other three are Curry (3.91), Klay Thompson (3.10) and Buddy Hield (3.07).
The California-born had a great outing on a personal level against the Lakers where he ended up registering 28 points to go with five rebounds and 12 assists. It was the third consecutive match where he ended up registering 20 or more points for the Bucks.
However, that performance was not enough as the Lakers came out on top in a nail-biting contest with a score of 123-122 at the crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Friday.
