Jodie Meeks

Jodie Meeks put together one of the greatest individual efforts in recent years in college basketball Tuesday night for the University of Kentucky. Meeks had 54 points to set the school record, which is not easy to do at a program like Kentucky. The most impressive thing was Meeks did it on only 22 shots. That is ridiculous efficiency.

I love great individual performances that lift a team to victory. If Meeks doesn't have a great game last night I doubt Kentucky wins that game. Whenever I go to a major league baseball game I hope to see a no-hitter. It is rare and it is a great individual effort that takes support from the whole team. It is what made Michael Jordan so special because any night you could see something spectacular like that. Jordan could get into a zone and put up 60 points any night.

Congrats to Jodie Meeks and thank you for the great performance!
