The incredible performance that Fred Vanvleet guys had last night in Orlando broke DEMAR DeRozan, the Raptors scoring record of 52 that was set back in 2018.

VanVleet dropped 54 points, also the most points scored ever by an undrafted player in NBA history.

According to Elias, he had 11 of his 1st 3 12 3 pointers, nine for nine from the line for the game.

Afterward, Fred said he was more concerned about winning than scoring.

What you wanna hear, right?

There was easy, no disrespect to the magic.

But I mean, for most of those I was open.

They were in rhythm, they're clean looks.

They were in within the offense and that's why I was ableto remain patient and and still pass out of double teams and not take bad shots.

Because the way I got all my points, I wanted to win more than I wanted 50 points.

So, you know, just trying to continue to play with a pure heart and let the game come to come to me.

And you know, I was rewarded for that, so she knew you were in Orlando right now, you were in the building last night.

What was it like sitting there in real time, watching Fred blandly do all this?

It was so much fun.

I'm sorry.

Becky Bonner, my girl.

My Stanford system, who hooked me up with the tickets yesterday.

But, you know, watching this game, it was over time you just started seeing like, OK, he's hot.

Look up!

Alright, 20 points.

He hit another couple.

Oh my gosh, he's already up 40 And it's crazy because I feel like his story.

What?

He's a 6 ft guard out of Wichita State.

He plays with that edge, and now the league is starting to maybe realize, especially after this game, how good his talent is.

It's not tied to that one playoff run that amounted in the Raptors first championship.

He's legit, but it sort of seems like people still don't really guard him or send that crazy energy that he demands because he has been a, well, at least that game.

He had been a sniper, but this season for the Raptors, he's been a sniper, leads them in scoring 20 points per game.

So it was fun to watch.

Um, I felt bad considering I was there, you know, on our in honor of the Magic.

But I feel like by the end of the game, everyone was really celebrating his achievement because he's the guy you can root for.

The only thing I heard is with all due respect, they were opening good job.

With all due respect, you can't you can't.

You can't just say with all due respect and say whatever you want after that, you can't do that.

That's pure Ricky.

Bobby, We gotta understand when you say, Well, you know, with all due respect to the magic I was dead open on every single shot and they were They were in rhythm and they were pretty easy, you know, she's I wish I could play against.

With all due respect, I wish I could play against Magic every night.

You can't say that, but after you get past that, look, he wasn't lying.

And look, he His story is more of a story that you should hear than the number one picks that go on to be great because that's expected, right comes from a small school, has won a G League championship, went through the G league spent time developing these games.

All these first round picks that rather sit on the bench, then go to the G League and work on their game.

Look at the individuals that have worked on their game and have improved with reps.

Your process will go a lot quicker if you just focus on playing and getting better.

I am a huge fan of Fred.

Well, you know, Fred's tagline is Bet on yourself, right?

He has that on his clothing line and everything else.

He's a guy who knew he might end up at the very end of the draft.

Is agent put out the word to teams?

You know what?

This guy Don't draft him.

He'd rather be an undrafted free agent.

Take his chances, see where he goes.

He ended up signing in Toronto.

The rest is history and that huge, huge deal in the offseason.

Bet on yourself, people.
