    Ross got to 50! Too bad it's in a loss.

    Ross has 51! Ties Vince Carter for Toronto all time scoring in a game... he missed the 2nd ft to get the record. Damn!

    That was a 51 point game out nowhere, too. Least likely 50 point game in NBA history? His previous career high was 26, I think?

    Memphis is putting it on Houston. Do the Rockets deserve 2 All-Stars?

    Miller had games where he scored over 30 before his 52 point game, though. He had five 30+ games alone in the 2001-02 season.

    Terrence Ross went to Alki Middle School in Vancouver, Washington. My brother knows him from there. Kinda cool that he dropped the 50 bomb.

    I don't know enough about Asian culture to know that is an insult. Sumo is a well respected sport, and it looks like 2 athletes to me. I doubt they would have made it for a Chinese audience if it were offensive.


    Denver's lead dropped to 7, now 10 versus Ind.

    wasn't there some scrub who scored an ass load for or against the 76ers once? Willie Barton or Willie Burton? Miami Heat expansion comes to mind..

    Yes, I remember that, quite a surprise. I expected bigger things out of Burton, but the 50 points turned out to be a fluke.

    Willie Burton, Tracy Murry, Tony Delk, Charles Smith were all not really explosive scorers in their career and topped the 50 point mark.

    And didn't Burton's come against the Heat RIGHT after they dumped him?

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    ABC just pointed out that Stern is retiring in less than a week (yay!), by saying that he "created 7 teams"

    Do they point that in his tenure that 4 teams moved? Including one of the teams he "created"?

    Sumo is a major Japanese sport. The ad is made for a Chinese audience. China doesn't like Japan.
