"My brother's like, 'Yo, don't shoot any more. We need that record,' " added Korver, a free agent this offseason. "And I'm like, 'I don't want the record like that.' That's not how you really get it."
Even if he shot 0-for-3 in the Jazz's last two outings — Tuesday at Golden State, Wednesday at home against Phoenix — Korver, 59-of-109 in 50 games so far this season, would own the record.
But he's not thinking that way, either.
He's simply firing when warranted and content to let chips — and treys — fall where they may.
That's the attitude Korver seemed to have Friday, when in a victory at New Orleans he opened 2-for-11 from the field — but still kept on shooting.
Korver wound up hitting his last two 3-point attempts, both critical in the fourth quarter, and that both helped the Jazz win and aided his personal numbers.
"I've always been someone that keeps on shooting, and sometimes it's gotten me in trouble. Sometimes it's been good. (Friday) it was good," he said. "But, you know, you never want to be afraid. I try to make the best basketball play. If the shot is there, I'll take it every time. If the shot's not there or I see someone else more open, I'll pass it to them.
"But I didn't feel like I took a bad shot (Friday). I just took the shots that were there, and in the first half it was one of those nights where they weren't going in. But I just tried to stay with it."
