Mohammad El Akkari, who plays for Tripoli Moutahed, had a truly legendary game in a Lebanese Division A League Final 8 game. El Akkari, who sports ” title=”scored 100 points” target=”_blank”>scored 100 points in a 1962 game. Didn’t the other team think of stepping out on El Akkari and forcing him to drive or at least go mid-range?
Anyway, what caught my eye, besides the fact that he scored more by himself than 11 of the 12 NBA teams that have finished games so far tonight, was this line, ” title=”believe in one God” target=”_blank”>believe in one God.
Just a typo? Probably. Or maybe El Akkari wasn’t thanking God but saying “thank god,” and so the reporter went lowercase g so as not to say God’s name in vain?
Regardless, El Akkari had an amazing night and I don’t think anyone will be rewriting that story anytime soon.
