OMG, Brandon Jennings scored 55pts against GSW, did you watch the game? (Sadly i did not) He was totally out of his mind! (ok, just my feeling after watching highlights) Okay if "55pts for a rookie in his 7th pro career game" alone is not scary enough, what about the fact that he has only scored 10 pts before half-time. (yes, all scored in 2nd qtr, hitting only 4-13 FGs before in the 1st half)? then he went nuts hitting 12 straight shots for 29 in the 3rd qtr (yes, he sadly missed the 13th shot with 5.9s left), and another 16 in the 4th. (at the end he made 21-34 FGs, oh yes, that means he made 17 of 21 shots in the 2nd half) Now, not that hard to get excited, huh?
And here are some records he has made with this stunning performance:
* Most points by a rookie since Earl “The Pearl” dropped 56 in an OT game on Feb. 13, 1968.
* Most points by a player under 21 since LeBron scored 56 in March, 2005.
* Most points by a Bucks rookie, topping Kareem’s 51 on Feb. 21, 1970
* He was a 3-pointer shy (he made 7 of of tying Wilt’s record for most points by a rookie ever. (Rick Barry had 57 at New York as a rookie in Dec. of 1965
* That was the fifth-most points ever scored against the Warriors. Elgin Baylor had 63 in triple OT (Dec. ‘61). Wilt had 62 (when he was with Philly, March ‘66). Downtown Freddie Brown had 58 (March ‘74). Tom Chambers (Feb. ‘90) and Karl Malone (April ‘98) each had 56.
He's gotta be one of the most exciting young talents in NBA.
