Golden State Warriors rookie Quinten Post is outdoing a certain three-point legend, yes, you guessed it, the one and only Steph Curry.

In a recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Post, standing tall at 7 feet, became the talk of the town when it was revealed he sank 53 three-pointers in his first 31 games. Let that sink in: that’s a record-breaking number for a rookie, surpassing Curry’s rookie count of 40 from 15 years ago. Talk about a glow-up!

To put this in perspective, it’s not just a simple number, this highlights how much the game has transformed over the years, largely thanks to Curry’s influence on changing the landscape with his insane shooting skills.

Despite the excitement, let’s keep it real: Basketball isn’t just about sensational stats. Context matters. These young guns are shooting threes like it’s their day job, and Post is standing out with an impressive shooting percentage of 41.4% from beyond the arc. Best on the team so far. Another reason we might want to keep our eyes on him.

But the rookie isn’t just basking in the spotlight of his numbers. After a couple of turnovers in the Bucks game, he was promptly benched, but that bench time wasn’t wasted. Post took the opportunity to chat with Curry, who’s been guiding him through the rough patches. “Steph said, ‘I’ve been dealing with this for 16 years, so keep your head cool and stay aggressive,’” Post shared, channeling his inner wisdom from the master himself.

Now, that’s some sage advice from a guy who’s faced his share of bumps and still managed to rise above. Post is rapidly becoming a reliable stretch big for the Warriors, and we can only imagine the potential lying in this rookie as he continues to learn from one of the best.

If Post is the new heir to the three-point throne, the Warriors might have just found themselves a golden ticket to even more championship aspirations. Let’s just hope he doesn’t go too hard on the Gatorade during those training sessions, can’t have him zooming past Curry now, can we?

So what are you waiting for? Keep your eyes glued to all things Warriors and the stellar rise of Quinten Post. It’s going to be one thrilling ride!
