"D'Angelo Russell Breaks Lakers' 3-Point Record in Blowout Win"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS Sports
D'Angelo Russell has set a new record for the most 3-pointers in a single season for the Los Angeles Lakers, surpassing Nick Van Exel's previous record. However, the achievement is put into perspective as the Lakers have historically not been known for their 3-point shooting prowess, with only a few exceptions like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. The increase in 3-point attempts in the NBA over the years has also contributed to the significance of Russell's record. Despite this, Russell has the opportunity to further solidify his place in Lakers history by potentially reaching 200 3-pointers in a season.
