Jermaine O’Neal: Naughty Number Nine

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine.  -The Beatles

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  You might be asking me, “Hey Public, Jermaine O’Neal is number six, what are you talking about?”  I might respond, “That’s not what I’m talking about, you big dummy!”  This is what I’m talking about.  Last night, Jermaine O’Neal made nine field goals.  Number nine will put you on the spot.  Last night, Jermaine O’Neal collected nine rebounds.  Number nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot.  Last night, Jermaine O’Neal blocked nine shots.  Naughty number nine!  That’s what I’m talking about, Willis.    

Pretty good, huh?  Huh?  Sure it is.  So is this.  Since the NBA began keeping track of blocked shots in 1973, only one other player had exactly nine field goals, rebounds and blocks in one game.  Only the Whopper.  Whopper beats the Big Mac!  Only San Antonio Spur Big Billy Paultz.  How about that?

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
