Heat forward Duncan Robinson on becoming the fastest NBA player to reach 500 3-pointers made: “It’s a humbling accomplishment, something that’s hard for me to wrap my mind around. I’m certainly a beneficiary of the times because it’s a skill that’s valued and they encourage me to be aggressive in Miami.”
