    Gordon currently leads the NBA in made 3pt FGs with 112 in 30 games and 257 attempts (.436).
    Just for reference, Curry, arguably the most lethal 3point shooter ever has 110 in 29 games and 272 attempts (.404).

    In terms of efficiency this is not a first as in the past there were many occasions where classic spot up shooters/3pt specialists held the top spots in 3pt proficiency (i.e. Korver, Reddick) but seeing a non-starter, and all-around offensive force like Gordon claim the honors is unprecedented.

    As a Rocket, our boy Eric is top candidate for 6th man, Most improved player and currently the no. 1 killer from 3, on track to hit 300+ 3s for the regular season which would obliterate the 2nd best all time record of 286 by Curry back in 2015-16 (before he obliterated that with 402 last year).

    Awesome.

    Good signing indeed. Rockets also gave him the best situation possible.

    He missed the winner vs Spurs though... He's not all that.

    On second thought... Yeah he pretty good.

    if he doesn't get an invite to the all-star 3pt contest, it'll be a bigger travesty than leaving harden off last season's all-nba teams
