Jacob Misiorowski threw 18 pitches. Half of them were fastballs over 100 mph, topping out at 102.3. He also threw a 98.1-mph slider, which doesn't sound real. He looked like an All-Star.
I pray to God it's not, but that could be the second time we've seen a guy try to play through a calf strain in the Finals and tear his achilles.
All the generic sports talk "he's gotta be tougher" folks need to wake the fuck up. These dudes are risking their careers to play.
Records are meant to be broken.
Congratulations to Gary Trent Jr. on surpassing my 20+ year-old mark for most 3-pointers made off the bench in a single season. Watching him light it up for my Bucks has been special.
Talk about basketball evolution. I played against Gary Sr. in the NBA and have known Jr. since he was about 5 years old. To put the era difference, between then and now, in perspective: Gary Sr. took just 50 threes in his entire nine-year career. His son might take that many in two weeks.
I've joked with friends about what shooting in today's NBA might look like—probably would've had the green light to chuck up a few more than I did back then—but that takes nothing away from Gary's incredible achievement.
Sharpshooting off the bench is an art form, and he's mastered it. Proud to pass the torch to a fellow @Bucks.
Keep lighting it up, GTJ! 🏀
