Buddy Hield

Chavano Rainer "Buddy" Hield is a Bahamian basketball player who plays for the Philadelphia 76ers. Hield's basketball roots trace back to Eight Mile Rock, a coastal region west of Freeport in the West Grand Bahama district. When he was a kid, he got the moniker "Buddy," a nickname bestowed upon him by his mother after the character Bud Bundy from the sitcom "Married... with Children."

Hield emerged as one of the best shooters in high school and college and was selected sixth overall in the 2016 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Pelicans. Hield wasted no time to impact the world of the NBA and quickly emerged as a lights-out catch-and-shoot 3-point shooter.

Hield broke Damian Lillard's NBA record for the most 3-pointers made in a player's first three seasons. Moreover, he also became the fastest player ever to reach 1,000 3-pointers.

Hield’s shooting ability became a defining aspect of his game. He started to get recognition as a player with lethal off-ball movement, who can get to his spots and swiftly release a shot as soon as he catches it.

He eventually became the second-fastest player to reach 1,500 career 3-pointers, trailing only the legendary Steph Curry. As Hield continues to make waves in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, his journey from the shores of the Bahamas to the NBA basketball stands as an inspiration.
