I feel like nobody remembers that Jodie Meeks once scored 42 points in a sanctioned NBA contest. He is definitely one of the lowest-profile members of the forty-point club. That year he was pretty much the main scorer for the Lakers once Kobe went down, so most of the best games of his career came during that time, but still. 42 points.
The sad thing is that I didn’t even make a highlight video for that game because, by the time I got around to it, like five different dudes had made that video, including the big two (Dawkins and GD). I didn’t want to duplicate their efforts even though featuring Jodie Meeks scoring forty-plus is pretty much the entire point of my channel. The good news out of the whole sad situation is that I can wait twenty years and then make the video as part of my “vintage” series, and it will have way more mystique, mystery, and intrigue because nobody will remember who Jodie Meeks is at that point. He has been granted access to the Cosmic Back-Alley of Forgotten NBA Players for a reason. It’s because he’s forgotten now and he’ll be way more forgotten in the future.
