Nets Rookie Egor Demin Sets New NBA Record as Houston Fans Take Notice

Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Egor Demin has carved out his name in the NBA record books after hitting a three-pointer in his 34th straight game. The impressive streak, which now stands as the longest ever by an NBA rookie, has sparked league-wide attention and ignited plenty of conversation among basketball fans, including those right here in Houston.

Demin’s rise has been quick. His consistent long‑range shooting has turned him into a nightly threat, and his latest accomplishment pushes him into rare company. The rookie now stands above every first‑year player before him when it comes to sustained perimeter success. For a Brooklyn team trying to reestablish a long‑term identity, Demin’s development is a bright spot.

Why It Matters

This news doesn’t directly tie to the Houston Rockets or the Houston sports scene, but it does shape the broader NBA landscape — especially as young players continue to redefine expectations for rookie performance. Houston fans keep an eye on rising talent across the league, particularly when a breakthrough like this could influence future matchups and the changing style of play in the NBA.

Demin’s shooting consistency also reinforces the league‑wide shift toward perimeter‑heavy basketball — something the Rockets, and most teams, must always account for as they plan their defensive and roster strategies.

What’s Next

With the season ongoing, all eyes will be on whether Demin can keep the streak alive. As the Nets continue navigating a challenging schedule, his shooting may be a key weapon. For fans, analysts, and teams across the league, this record isn’t just a milestone — it’s a starting point.
