Guy scores 138 points in a game???

On November 20, 2012, Jack Taylor from division III, Grinnell College, scored an outstanding 138 points in 1 game. He broke a college basketball record with the most points in a game. That is not only a college basketball record, that is a record for every level of basketball. No one has ever scored that many points in 1 game. Wilt Chamberlain once scored 100 points in a game, which was never recorded; Kobe Bryant once scored 81 points in a NBA game, but Taylor has passed those to greats up with 138 points. He went 52-for-108 (27-for-71 from the 3-point line) in a 179-104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible college. The previous Grinnell record was 89 by Griffin Lentsch last Nov. 19 against Principia. "I gotta thank the man upstairs," Taylor said. "I was able to multiply my talents tonight." Taylor wasn't the only star of the game. Faith Baptist Bible's David Larson scored 70 points (34-for-44). But the two didn't discuss their parallel shooting success during the game, Taylor said.   Carmelo Anthony and the New Your Knicks were amazed by Taylor's feat when they heard about it after their victory in New Orleans. "I never heard of nothing like that. That's like a video game," Anthony said, an incredulous look on his face. "How can you shoot 100 times, though?"
He joked that from now on when someone asks if he's taking too many shots, he'll mention "that someone shot it 108 times." Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant also was astounded by the 108 shots.
"Jack Taylor you deserve a shot of Jack Daniels after that performance lol...wow," Durant tweeted.

Lakers Hire Mike D'antoni

First, the Los Angelos Lakers fire coach Mike Brown after 6 games. The talk of the basketball world was who's going to be the next Lakers coach. Everywhere names were being brought up. You had names like Brian Shaw, Nate Mcmillan, and even the famous Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson is probably the choice every Laker fan would want. He's brought them five championships in the past 13 years. He's one of the best coaches to ever coach in the world in any sport. Then out of no where, the new Lakers coach is not Phil Jackson, but ex New York Knicks coach, Mike D'antoni. Mike was fired from the Knicks last year as word was he didn't get along with all the players. The world is shocked, even the famous ex Laker player Magic Johnson stopped tweeting for some days because of the news. The Lakers are now 5-5 and look forward to having a good season.

New Houston Rocket player, James Harden, Does Better Then Expected

As from my last blog, last years sixth man of the year, James Harden, was in a huge trade that sent him to the Houston Rockets from the Oklahoma City Thunder.. A lot of people in the basketball world, was wondering how he would play as being the leader and star of a team. Since he had the NBA's leading scorer from last year in Kevin Durant, and one of the top point guards in Russel Westbrook on his team last year, sports fans wanted to know how is game would react in a different area. If anyone said he wouldn't play well, they thought wrong. So far James harden is averaging 35 points per game in his first 3 games of the season. Scoring 45 in his first game against the Atlanta Hawks and 37 against the Detroit Pistons. With such a great start of a season for the Rockets, they are looking for some playoff hopes in the near future. They know with the play of James Harden and point guard Jeremy Lin, they could go pretty far with both stars. James Harden has a very young team, but is ready to lead them on for the future.
