138 point basketball game

He said he liked Arseneault's system. Before Tuesday's mind-boggling performance, Taylor said he worked on his shot more than he had in the past.

On Sunday and Monday, Taylor said, he took a "couple " shots before practice. Taylor had made just 11 of 41 shots entering Tuesday's game, struggles that inspired those extra reps. Taylor credited his teammates for their "unselfishness" throughout the record-setting outing. He said he was proud that his mother, father and girlfriend, who all traveled from Wisconsin, saw the game. That's like a video game," Anthony said, an incredulous look on his face.

He joked that from now on when someone asks if he's taking too many shots, he'll mention "that someone shot it times. Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant also was astounded by the shots.

I remember, too, being mad at God. I said, 'God, I worked so hard at this game.

I've given my life to this game. How could you, God, allow this injury to happen? With his renewed faith — and no more chance at a Division I scholarship — Jack was looking for a fresh plan.

He didn't play much. It told him that a player at Grinnell College in Iowa had scored 89 points in a single game. Jack knew about Grinnell. They had recruited him back when he thought he was too good for Division III basketball. Jack knew that Grinnell played a peculiar style of basketball. They liked winning. But they liked setting records and scoring points even more. Sometimes, when they were playing a bad team, they'd let one player take nearly every shot so he could rack up as many points as possible.

So Jack Taylor, who had decided that God was more important than basketball, was going prove that point by seeking out the spotlight … as a basketball player. I'm gonna break some records," Jack recalls. They would just laugh. And they'd be like, 'Jack, you didn't play very much at UW-Lacrosse. You averaged 8 points a game. How are you going to go break a record?

But I used it as fuel. At first, that fuel didn't take Jack very far. In his first two games, he jacked up 37 three-pointers. He missed 31 of them. Then came that Tuesday night in November — and that point game against a weak team from Faith Baptist Bible College. Jack made 27 three-pointers. After the game, he was rushed into interviews.

But the requests for interviews stopped coming. I want to see the game. I watched some of the greatest games ever played when guys scored big numbers. There's two games that I would love to see: One was Wilt, when he had , and this kid. I want to see him, too. Sir Jack.

The Heat reportedly called their intern "Taylor" when he was shooting during a defensive drill during morning practice. It wasn't just James. Some of best basketball players took notice in a mix of disbelief and envy.
