When the Miami Heat took PG Norris Cole as the 28th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, I thought to myself, Who in the world is Norris Cole? I saw some highlights, read a couple stat sheets and then realized that Norris Cole is "the answer" to the Heat winning an NBA Championship. Norris Cole was unheard of because he attended Cleveland State who I didn't even know had a basketball program. Norris Cole has Allen Iverson like quickness with the tenacity of Derrick Rose.
Fun Fact: There are only 2 players in Division 1 basketball history to have at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game. I know what you're thinking..... Gotta be Bill Walton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chris Webber, Michael Jordan maybe.... No, the answer is Blake Griffin and your boy Norris Cole. That's right. Norris Cole put up 41 points 20 rebounds and 9 assists vs. Youngstown State this season. Dude is freaky good. Norris Cole was the only player in Division 1 basketball this season to average 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists per game.
If you think drafting Norris Cole was a mistake, think again. Watch this video clip and tell me what you think...
