A little over a year ago, Rick Carlisle compared Myles Turner to Jermaine O'Neal and now the former has just overtaken the latter. With five blocks against the Warriors, the pivot has indeed become the best blocker in the history of the franchise, ahead of the former All-Star.
It was in the third quarter, with a shot blocked against Jonathan Kuminga, that the player broke the record. He now has 1,248 blocks, compared to Jermaine O'Neal's 1,245.
“It’s incredible for me to have been here for so long and to have become the record holder for blocks,” he reacts after Indiana's victory against Golden State. “No matter what happens in the future, I accomplished this. I will be able to say that to my children and my grandchildren. »
Obviously, Myles Turner received praise from his coach. “He was dominant in this match, with five blocks, each of which was necessary. Congratulations to him »slips Rick Carlisle.
Then his teammates. “He works very hard and is one of the best in this field”comments in particular Aaron Nesmith. ” It's cool. He's been around for a long time and it's nice to see him breaking records and making a name for himself.”continues Andrew Nembhard. “I’m happy for him. He's a good guy, a good teammate. He has always helped me since I left the league. I love it. »
