AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe New York Knicks' forward set an all-time NBA record on Sunday simply by showing no hesitancy on the court. The record was set because Diawara shot 13 3-point attempts in 14 minutes on the court. It's the most 3-point attempts per minute in NBA history, according to Nate Duncan, with a minimum set of 10 minutes played. That's absolutely remarkable. Diawara shot 4-for-13 on those 3-pointers, and he also made one 2, to give him 14 points on the day. The Knicks rolled past the San Antonio Spurs, 114-89. Some Knicks fans may not even be familiar with who Diawara is. He's a 6-foot-9 forward who was the No. 51 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft from France. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe 20-year old was playing his 50th game for the Knicks on Sunday. Before the Spurs game, Diawara had played just 7.4 minutes per night. Of note, he was shooting 41.4% from 3-point range on a relatively small sample size. That percentage went down a bit Sunday, but the volume certainly went up. The Knicks must've said to Diawara that he's got a bright green light, and he took it. This will be a hard record to break -- there are only so many possessions per minute. Diawara may have just made this mark his own. MORE: This college hockey team turned the lights off on a potential winning play.
