Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)
- Thread starter I-stateTheTruth
- Start date
Naz and his brother have had a head to head matchup last week.
Glad they all are getting paid to do something they love, but some of those names were with the Cyclones for a quick cup of coffee.
Weird that these two would be the same crazy stat category.

He had one of the fastest times in the all star skills competition that was ball handling, passing and shooting. Calling him unique is an understatement.
ESPN with a nugget:
"Victor Wembanyama took questions at the podium sitting in front of a San Antonio Spurs banner and was told about the statistical feat he had just pulled off Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Wembanyama joined Jamaal Tinsley (2001) as the only NBA rookies to have a 5x5 game -- posting at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks in a game -- and became just the second player to have 5 blocks and 5 steals in consecutive games, joining Michael Jordan."
Nice.

Haliburton just had a rebound, full court assist for a layup, steal, and fast break layup in the span of about 8 seconds.
Georges had a solid game tonight but Cavs making an insane comeback attempt right now. Max Strus hit 4 straight 3s in under a minute. 1 point game with 2:30 left.
update...this might have been the best final five minutes of ANY game I have ever seen.
Ignoring that it's a regular season game...I don't think I have seen shooting like this IN MY LIFE
Cleveland was just going nuts hitting 3s, Dallas was getting steals and converting them into 2s, they took the lead with 2 seconds left and the same shooter who hit 4 in a row for Cleveland drained one from WAY behind half court.

Holy crap...there cannot possibly be a better ending to a basketball game than the last five minutes of Cleveland vs Dallas.
Georges was not in...but there must me some way to get this whole finish up on Youtube soon. My god. It was 10x more wild than anything on NBA Jam.

That was excellent. I have league pass and just watched the last quarter. Strus was unconscious and hit that last second heave. Going 5 for his last 5 threes. Also, Mitchell had a banked in 3 at one point. Cleveland nearly had a steal to ice it but Doncic kept it and made a great pass for the lead. Just chaos and amazing shot making all around.
Lots of rumors today about US Olympic team and all of them say 12 spots are chosen with mostly experienced NBA vets with Tyrese and Anthony Edwards being the two young guns, supposedly one spot still open.
Guessing official team released any day.
