2. Mark Price breaks the 3-Point record (1993-94)

In the 1988-89 season, Mark Price became just the second player in NBA history to shoot 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from the 3-point line and 90 percent from the free throw line. With the 34th highest 3-point percentage of all-time (40.2), Price is one of the best shooters the league has ever seen.

That’s why it was no surprise when Price broke the 3-Point Contest record for points during the 1994 All-Star weekend. Price scored 24 points and won his second consecutive 3-Point Contest, making him one of only six players to win the contest multiple times.

Of course, this record has been broken a few times since then. It was broken twice by Jason Kapono who recorded scores of 25 and 26 in consecutive seasons. Then, the NBA changed the format so that each player would get an entire rack of money balls (worth double points). This caused a few different players to score above Price’s mark of 24.

Price is one player that was truly ahead of his time. He was a pioneer in the NBA and helped pave the way for all of the great shooters we know today.
