It’s become customary for native New York ballers in the HS, NCAA, and NBA ranks to go back to their roots and help hone their skills on some of the most legendary playgrounds of NYC during the off-season. We have all heard of some of the exploits of Kobe Bryant at Rucker Park, Ron Artest at Dyckman, but now we have to add rising Villanova senior Corey Fisher at Watson Gleason Playground, now that the former McDonald’s All American has scored 105 points in a game.
Ok. Ok. I know what your thinking, although not much defense is played in any Summer league game, you have to give the man his props for being one of the few players in the history of the game to top the century mark in points. I at first thought it was just a rumor, but the feat has been confirmed all over the internet by some pretty “reliable sources“(Dime, Bounce, and NBA Draft.net) even though no video footage is currently available.
Fisher nailed an unbelievable 23 three point shots in the regulation 40 minute game, including an impressive 72 points in the 2nd half. I guess it’s safe to say he was on fire as he reportedly missed on only 5 of his 28 three point attempts. He scored 105 of his squad’s 138 points in the event, further insinuating that nary any defense was on display in the tiny Watson Gleason playground, which is nestled deep in the heart of the Bronx, near the intersection of the Bruckner(Expressway) and Bronx River Parkway. Contrary to how it appears, many fans reported that the opposing team started to take it personal and even attempted to to double and triple team “Fish” in the 2nd half to no avail, as he continued his onslaught towards the 100 point plateau.Mehr
