The Headlines That Never Were (April 10th)

If you didn't hear, The Warriors tied the Bulls for most wins in a season on Sunday. This was an amazing feat, but there were some really great headlines that you probably haven't seen because of the Warriors accomplishment. So Let's get started with some major headlines that you probably missed.

Makel Brown nearly gets a 5 by 5. In case you didn't know, a 5 by 5 is accomplished by getting at least 5 blocks, 5 rebounds, 5 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals. This is extremely hard to accomplish and Nets Markel Brown nearly did. He finished the game against Indiana with 18 points, 11 rebounds, 6 steals, 4 assists, and 3 blocks. He was just 2 blocks and 1 assist shy. Markel Brown was drafted 44th overall in the 2014 draft and selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was then traded to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for cash. If Markel Brown is able to consistantly put up numbers close to this, it will be a steal being able to get Brown at that low of value.

James Harden gets 40 points in Kobe's last game in Houston. Last night, Harden left Kobe with a loss. Harden picked up 40 points as well as 13 assists to give Houston the win. While Harden played great, Kobe did just as well for his age as he took it right at Harden and the Rockets. Kobe had 35 points and wa perfect from the free throw line as he was 11-11. While Harden got the last win, it's sure nice to see Kobe able to get 35 points.


Trey Lyles gets a career high of 22 points as injured Jazz keep pushing to the playoffs. The Jazz are playing against all odds this season as their star power forward is out with a knee injury. The Jazz ended up having to start Trey Lyles as a result. He ended the night with 22 points. Not to bad for a guy that isn't supposed to be starting. But the Jazz didn't win this game because of their offense. It was because of their defense. At one point in the 3rd quarter, the Jazz pulled away as they went on a 24-0 run. This was a key game as they are hanging onto their 1 game ahead of the Houston Rockets and the 8th seed in the Western Conference. The Jazz are playing so they can get their star, Gordon Hayward, a look at the playoffs, something he hasn't seen since 2012; something he has only seen only 1 time of his 6 years in the league.


DeMar DeRozan passed Vince Carter to become second in all-time points for the Raptors franchise. The Raptors beat the Knicks last night to keep them in the running for the 1st seed in the East. On the other hand, DeMar DeRozan finished the night 27 points as he passed Vince Carter in all-time Raptors scoring. That just shows you how great of a scorer DeRozan is and how long he has been with the Raptors. He now only trails Chris Bosh who has 10,275. DeRozan has 9,426. He has averaged 18 PPG over his career and he is averaging a career high in points this season with 23.6 PPG.

Well, have you heard all of this news? Or has it been covered up by the Golden State Warriors. Or Was there something that I forgot. Comment below with your opinions.
