Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards makes basketball history never done before in NBA, even by Steph Curry image

Pretty much every 3-point record in NBA history is held by Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry. 

Not this one. This one belongs to Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards.

On Sunday, while most minds were focused on the NFL, Edwards seized a bit of NBA history.

He became the first player in league history to reach 1,200 career made 3-pointers before turning 25 years old, according to the NBA's official social media accounts.

He made six 3s on Sunday and is now at 1,205 for his career.

It was a huge game for Edwards against the Wizards. He finished with 35 points, six rebounds and four steals.

For reference, Edwards won't turn 25 until August. So every 3-pointer he makes the rest of the season will expand this pre-25 record.

Does this mean Edwards has a chance at Steph Curry's all-time record? Maybe not.

Edwards has made 2.9 3-pointers per game in his career. Curry has made 4.0 3s per game in his.

The Ant Man entered the league after one year of college, giving him a multi-year head start on Curry in this stat. And maybe he'll increase his rate as his career goes on, or maybe not.

It's still pretty cool that he seized this bit of history on Sunday.
