History was made on Saturday night at the NBA’s All-Star Weekend. Former Kentucky Wildcats star Karl-Anthony Towns took the Three Point Contest crown and set a record while doing so.
Towns hit a record 29 threes in the final round to win the contest, finishing atop fellow contestants CJ McCollum, Desmond Bane, Fred VanVleet, Luke Kennard, Patty Mills, Trae Young and Zach LaVine.
The record he broke was ironically held by his former Kentucky teammate, Devin Booker, who hit 28 threes in the final round during the 2018 three point shooting contest.
