An incredible sports week commenced with NCAA Basketball ramping up March Madness, and the World Baseball Classic entering knock out round, and NBA and NHL in the playoff push. For the NBA, the most improbable, neigh impossible happened as Bam Adebayo reach the penultimate scoring game with 83 points in a regulation NBA game. Yes, 83 points. By math, that's 1.7 points per minute. Rounds up to 2 points per minute he played. Figuring each team gets a possession, maybe two per minute, incredible. He got his shots, taking 43 and knocking down 20 in a high scoring win for his Miami Heat over the hapless Washington Wizards in a 150-129 win. Seven of those made shots were from 3-point land for eh, a quarter of his points. But the main damage he did was from the free throw line getting 36 points in 43 attempts. If you can't stop him, foul him. He didn't tip toe around other statistics as well, getting 9 boards and actually passing 3 times for assists. He also had a game high 2 blocks on the defensive end. Few expect Adebayo to compete for an MVP or scoring title, but he only looks up to Wilt Chamberlain in terms of a single game total. And his was on tape. Adebayo is a worthy, Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
