James White drops 47!

[Austin_Toros]

I realise some won't want this thread here, but there are James White fans around- that can't be denied and he used to play for the spurs.

White had 47 points on an amazing 18-24 from the floor to go along with 11 rebounds as Arsenal defeated the Vipers.

Yes, I do realise this is just a D-League game.

For the box score see:
http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/boxscore.jsp?gameId=2020800147 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=2)

"White was the unstoppable force on the Anaheim offense, but also added 11 rebounds and three assists in the loss."

I'm surprised that he isn't mentioned in the opening paragraph of the game recap!
Where is the love????

How long has he been back in the D-League?

Good numbers, but giving up 25 or 28 to his cover from the Vipers in a loss doesn't exactly make me miss him that much

All season.

Like you said it was just the D-league. And the D doesnt stand for Defense. Its stands for development.

[m33p0]

too bad he still can't defend.

Have you played in the D-League? The difference between a D-League player and an NBA player sometimes is a simple mental shift. Most D-League players would start for nearly any college team in the country. They are still at the very top percentile for any athlete. To post 47 points in a game is a feat, in college, D-league, or pro. Everyone underestimates the D-league because the players don't make 7 or 8 figures there, but it's filled with great players who would absolutely carve up most college defenses, to say nothing of what they would do to the local intramural teams.

james white my boy

[timvp]

I'm not sure how the Toros skipped him over twice in this year's draft. I'd rather the Toros spend time on James White(!) than Marcus Williams. White and Hairston would be pretty sick.

Dont forget Highschool either. Ive seen kids score 47 points in a highschool game as well. With nowhere near the amount of time on the clock. And with no money what so ever.:king Im impressed when a 17 year old kid can score that many points in a handful of minutes. But 47 in the D-league cant even be compared to 47 in highschool or college.:king

even Morris Almond dropped 50 in a D-League game
but still cool

[MoSpur]

James White!

[Biggems]

so if Morris Almond ever breaks out in the NBA and becomes a legit star.........and let's say wins the MVP or something like that.....the headline will read

ALMOND JOY!!!

[wildbill2u]

James White!

I thought it was agreed that we'd only refer to him as:

----- -----!

Good one! Snicker

I completely agree. The Toros are stupid. Unless someone with the Spurs told the Toros there was something wrong with White, he should be on the Toros right now. I would kill to see Hairston and White on the Spurs in the future.

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

What does "even" Morris Almond dropped 50.

Morris Almond averaged 30 ppg in College for Rice.

how is that working out for him?
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4303
plays in less than half of the games, 39% from the field, 25% from 3pt, more turnovers than assist

what I meant was dont get too excited because he had a huge game

ALMOND JOY!!!

Well, he would have to play like he was from outside the Milky Way to do that, though.

[lurker23]

Just FYI for those in the Austin area...James White and the Anaheim Arsenal will be playing against the Toros tonight (Wednesday, 1/21) at 7:30 p.m..

[Trainwreck2100]

James Motherfucking White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChumpDumper]

It will be interesting to see who guards White tonight. The Toros' D isn't anywhere near as good as it was last season.

[ChumpDumper]

White still can't shoot, Hairston is having a good time guarding him.

[ChumpDumper]

White got free a lot more in the second half off switches and got to the line a lot due to the resulting mismatches. Still an amazing athlete.

Spurs had him for a whole season, and then summer camp, and decided they didn't want him. Getting jacked over a d-league stud makes as much sense as getting jacked over an NCAA upperclassman. In most cases, if they were any good, they'd be in the NBA. I think the Spurs don't want to waste time on a player they think isn't a fit. Lack of a long distance shot is a deal-breaker for a Spurs wing. They ALL have to be able to space the floor for Tim.

James Motherfucking White!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you said it pal!
