Thanks Harry for talking to germanhoops.com. Your playing with the Onsala Pirates BBK Kungsbacka (Basketettan) and recently had 118 points in 2 games. Did you know before the 67 point game that something like this could ever happen?

Yes, it is these types of games that you visualize about, maybe not exactly 67 but to just have a game where everything goes as planned.

You play in the third division in Sweden and even in a league like that scoring 30-40 games isn’t easier. How do you explain 67 points? That is 3 points away from 70 points. That is absolutely mind boggling.

Ofcourse it is not easy but when you are in an environment where you feel comfortable and happy everything feels much easier and more things go your way.

How quickly did you know in that 67 point game that you may have an incredible and unforgettable scoring game?

I knew it since the first quarter, where I had outscored the other team. I had 24 and they had 22.

When the scoring continued and continued, what kind of a zone did that feel like for you?

For some reason the rim felt larger.

After a while did your teammates especially always want to find you because you were hot or was a lot of your scoring simply what the defense gave you?

Both, of course my teammates were finding me but I had some easy baskets as well either due to the steals or the type of defense they were playing.

Did you buy dinner for Derec Feggins? He dished out 11 assists in the game and found you a lot. How special of a player is he?

As mentioned earlier the guys were finding me, not only dark got his dinner, the whole team got their dinner.

You nailed 12 three’s which is 2 away from the world record of 14 by Klay Thompson. There are not many guys in the world that have made as many three’s as you. Was the basket feeling extra big that day?

Hahah yes, to be honest it just felt like a day where everything was going in. At that point in the game I didn’t know how many threes I had, if I knew I would have got more than 14.

2 seasosn ago, you had 2 games back to back with 8 three’s. Was reaching the 10 three’s mark a hidden goal for you?

Not really but of course it is a nice accomplishment

What was your favorite basket of the day?

I think it was in the third quarter where I had a fadeaway three from the volleyball line.

Now that you hit for 67 is 70 a goal or are you the kind of player that won’t put extra pressure on yourself to have to do that again?

70 would be nice but not exactly a goal of mine

Was your phone flooded after the game? Did you get any cool messages from people?

Yes, I think I had over a hundred dms.

In the next game you scored 51 points. I don’t think that there have been many back to back 50 point games in Europe. How special was this game compared to the 67 point game?

51 didn’t feel to special after hitting 67

If someone asks you in 20 years what you will remember most from these 2 amazing back to back games what will it be?

he thing I will remember is being in the locker room after the game with the guys and just soaking it in.

Thanks Harry for the chat.
