Just 36 games into his career. Miami Heat rookie Hassan Whiteside is already making a name for himself, by racking up a monster triple-double against the Chicago Bulls consisting of 14 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 BLOCKED SHOTS. Yes, I’m yelling cause this guy blocked TWELVE FREAKIN’ SHOTS!
“It’s a blessing,” said Whiteside, who was working out at the downtown YMCA in Charlotte when he got the call from the Heat.
“Like I told my teammates, you wouldn’t believe how things work out in life. Three months ago, you can ask anybody in Charlotte at the downtown Y. I was just there at the downtown Y just chilling. Just working on my game. I couldn’t even get a team to pick up the phone.”
Hassan Whiteside is the 1st player with at least 12 Pts, 12 Reb, 12 Blk in a game since Shawn Bradley in 1997-98. #TripleDozen

The icing on the cake was that Whiteside did all of this in just 25 minutes, but as it turns out it was all for a good NBA2K cause.
