Towards the bottom

"Of course, the celebration wasn’t without some added dramatics. Upset that the 905 took an unnecessary shot late in the game, the Vipers didn’t go quietly, and the two sides had to be pulled apart from a shoving match after the buzzer. Even as the 905 separated and tried to begin celebrating, officials had to intervene to get the sides separated. They then reviewed to see if a fraction of a second needed to be put back on the clock, even though it was a 25-point game. Then VanVleet was tossed for trying to dap up his friend Chinanu Onuaku, who was also thrown out (along with Joshua Smith). The whole thing was exceptionally weird."

But an even better part of the article:

"Fred VanVleet once again looked too advanced for this level, scoring 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting and dishing 14 dimes. He also added five rebounds, helped frustrate Morris into foul trouble, and wound up with a plus-25 in 36 minutes. The second the game ended, all he cared about was whether the Raptors were hanging on, which tells you a lot of what you need to know about VanVleet. He was masterful here."

Just to be clear, i wasn't trying to trash on Fred. He had an amazing game. Just thought it was comical that he got thrown out of a championship game that they were blowing out the other team with a second left.

I watched every move this kid made from the day I met him in late May '12 until he left WSU, and a short year later he still amazes me. He TOYED with this league. That was an EASY 28 and 14. He's incredible, and we were SO lucky to have known him.

I never questioned ya for a second. You were just responding to the people asking about it.

Thanks for posting that link!

Yes I remember logging into some obscure streams to watch him play AAU or high school ball. Didn't we even start a game thread for one of his club or high school matches? What a blessing he is to WSU.

I don't know what this means. Am I really THAT old already?
