The Atlanta Hawks finally did the thing everyone has wanted to see for years: putting three-point shooters at every position and letting them chuck.

Kyle Korver 20 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (4/24/2014)
The NBA and its assorted commentators have a strange fascination with arbitrary records. “Colonel McDickles is the first player to score 22 or more points while shooting 60% from the field in the first quarter of consecutive road games in the history of the NBA! Isn’t that a sweet and totally notable achievement?” I actually…

Kyle Korver’s streak of 127 straight games with a made three is pretty great. That’s a lot of hot tamales. But is it the kind of record that anyone will care about once it’s over? No one cared about Dana Barros’ record until it was close to being broken. And when I look back on…

I’m so mad at Kyle Korver right now. So I was sitting at home making these highlights while my girlfriend is in the same room watching TV. She doesn’t even like basketball so she usually doesn’t pay attention to my labors. It’s funny, she would actually rather watch made-up stories about made-up people on some…
