From the NBA thread, this vid is just insane.
I brought it up a few weeks back, how when he went into that zone, it was disgusting. Like Toronto, Dallas, etc.
Dude had 40, with 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, on 14 of 16 shooting, with 8 3's, and he didn't even really push it early in the game. :x
I mean, this EASILY could have been an 80. Easy.
And I remember perfectly the 81, he "should" have had 88. LO missed him on a cherry pick, he missed 2 FT's, and he had an and 1 called a charge. That's 7 points he could, and should have had, with ease in that game. And he sat 6 minutes of the 2nd quarter, and the final minute of the game.
He would have needed 12 points in about 6 minutes, he coulda dropped a C-Note that night. I will forever remember that moreso than the actual 81. How absolutely close he came to 100, in the NBA,against a playoff team. (I'm an idiot)
My story of the night he dropped 81 goes like this.
My cousin who lives in West Covina hits me up the Saturday night before the game which was on a Sunday and asked if I wanted to go with him and one of our friends from the bay area to the Clippers vs Warriors game which was also on Sunday but in the day time at 12:30. I said sure since the ticket was for free.
That night a few NT'ers in the Socal thread did a summit and Ben Baller was there also.I really wanted to go but at the same time was like man "it's the frickin Raptors".
I regret missing out on history that night
