DENVER — In a forgetful April 2010 loss to the then-New Jersey Nets, all former Washington Wizards big man Andray Blatche wanted was a triple-double.
The now infamous video, which you can find multiple versions of on YouTube, shows a desperate Blatche searching for and chasing his 10th rebound over the final 30 seconds of regulation, which would have given the Syracuse, New York native the first triple-double of his career. Instead, Blatche finished one rebound short with 20 points, nine rebounds, and 13 assists.
Blatche, who recently garnered Player of the Week honors in the Chinese Basketball Association, would go on to record two triple-doubles in the CBA during the 2015-16 season but never achieved the feat over his nine-year NBA career.
