Cal Commit Jaylen Brown and Shareef Abdur-Rahim

There are some interesting connections that link Jaylen Brown with Cal. Brown is a product of Wheeler High School in Georgia. Not a usual locale for Cal to find basketball players, but this is not first highly regarded recruit to commut to Cal.

Shareef Abdur-Rahom, who might've been the first and maybe only one-and-done player to play hoops at Cal (even Jason Kidd played for two years) was also from Wheeler High. Now Cal could have two such players from the same high school in Georgia (if Jaylen Brown does turn pro after only one year at Cal as expected).

The other school connection between that Shareef team and today's Bears' team is the University of Tennessee. Cuonzo Martin, Cal's current coach only ended up at Cal because of Tennessee did not want him. The other key player on that Cal team led by Shareef was Ed Gray who was a transfer from Tennessee.

What a Quarter by "Trey" Thompson

Klay Thompson scored 37 points in the third quarter of last night's Warrior's game to turn what was a 58-58 game-in-doubt against the Kings into a laugher.  The 37 points in a quarter broke the team record that was held by Wilt Chamberlain and also the all-time NBA record of 33 points in a quarter that was shared by George "The Iceman" Gervin and Carmello Anthony.  He actually scored his points in 9 minutes and 45 seconds of the quarter that works out to about one point every 15 seconds, including scoring 19 points in row and finishing the quarter scoring the final 18 points for the Warriors.  Amazing!
