The Golden State Warriors put up a team performance tonight and every single player contributed to the win. While Klay Thompson and Steph Curry will steal a lot of the headlines, Kevon Looney deserves his praise.
Today, the Warriors big man recorded 22 rebounds. He also chipped in with 4 points. If you look at Kevon Looney’s stats you will find that to be eerily similar to that of another rebound machine, Dennis Rodman.
The Worm was known for recording games with 20 plus rebounds with as little as zero points! Kevon’s rebounding helped Golden State charge late and clinch the series.
Kevon Looney joins the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell!
NBA history books are always adding new names. Kevon will be proud to join a club with only 5 members, 5 of the greatest players that too.
He also had the most boards for a Warriors player since 1987!
A lot of the credit for the win will be on Kevon’s shoulders. As they head to the conference finals, they can rest easy tonight, and Dennis Rodman will be happy too!
A game that is very Worm-esque on The Worm’s birthday, couldn’t have scripted it better.
