He scored 25 points in one game this weekend, with a bum shoulder and was 7 for 9 from the 3 point range...If you follow basketball, you know that that is AWESOME...and often times, unheard of.....Also....I just saw this:
The bj League announced the 2010-211 season individual leaders today.
Scoring: 27.3pts Michael Parker (Fukuoka)
Assist: 6.5apg Kenny Satterfield (Osaka)
Rebound: 15.2rpg Gary Hamilton (Shiga)
...3pt: 46% Akinori Takano (Fukuoka)
FT: 89% Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (Kyoto)
Okinawa's David Palmer finished the 2nd in the 3pts (45.5%) and the FT% (83.1%) category.
So...he was barely beat out for the highest 3 point percentage and was 2nd behind a former NBA player for Free Throws. 45.5% from the 3 point range is again, AWESOME! Kobe Bryant's highest percentage was 38.3%...Just tooting David's horn because we all know he won't. He will be so embarrassed to read this.
Write up from Japan Times:
The Ryukyu Golden Kings captured the Western Conference's regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the playoffs on Saturday, clobbering the host Miyazaki Shining Suns 113-82.
Ryukyu (33-16) holds a two-game lead over the second-place Osaka Evessa entering the final day of the regular season.
David Palmer, the former MVP during the Evessa's dynasty years, led the Golden Kings with 26 points, including a jaw-dropping 7-for-9 from beyond the 3-point arc, and Anthony McHenry added 20. Carlos Dixon had 15 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Steady big man Jeff Newton hauled in 16 rebounds on a night when his seven points were more than enough. Tsubasa Yonamine had a busy day at the point, with 15 points, six rebounds and seven assists as evidence, Dillion Sneed scored 10, Yasufumi Takushi had nine and Shigeyuki Kinjo ended his work shift with a seven-point evening.
Ryukyu blew the game wide open in the second half, outscoring Miyazaki 56-33.
Brandon Cole paced the Shining Suns (13-36) with 30 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Taishiro Shimizu had 19 points and Takuro Ito added 15 for the expansion squad.
