I know this is a Lakers/NBA site but we're also basketball fans, and her performance in the 3pt contest today was nothing short of amazing - knocking down 25 of 27 shots including a run of 20 straight.
It's easy to it's an all-time record for either the WNBA or NBA, but that really doesn't give it enough justice. Here's some perspective:
