Gundars Vētra (17pts) vs. Hornets (1993)

"Skaidrs, ka tā spēle neko neizšķīra. Bija lieli mīnusi, un varēju brīvi spēlēt savu basketbolu. Nebija nekāda uztraukuma. Es arī sapratu, ka sezonā pienācis tas brīdis, kad nav vērts stresot. Kad iespēja tiek dota, centies to izmantot. Nevienam man arī nebija jāstāsta, ka protu to spēli spēlēt," rezultatīvāko maču NBA atceras Vētra.

"Obviously, that game didn't matter all that much. We were down big, and I could freely play my game. I understood well that the season has reached the point where worrying about anything isn't worth it. When you get the chance, you try to use it. I didn't need to tell anybody that I can play this game," Vetra recalls his career-high in the NBA.

Full credit goes to natshuck44. I urge you to check out his channel! It has some unbelievably rare games. For one, I never thought I would get to see this game. It's the former record by a Latvian player for most points scored in a game, broken only in 2006 by Andris Biedrins. Gundars Vetra goes for 17 against the Charlotte Hornets. March 18, 1993.

I know it’s a pre-Cuban nba, but somewhere Marc is saying what if?

Gundars Vētra - you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him (Dan Patrick voice on SportsCenter)

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Lamar, I remembered that Gundars Vetra was 3-for-3 on 3-pointers, in his NBA career!

And this guy didn't stay in the league why?

[@LamarMatic]

First season in the league was disrupted by a knee injury, which didn't help establish himself. Before the second season he sensed that with the drafting of J.R. Rider his chances at playing time are getting even slimmer. Thus he decided to go back to Europe. That's basically it, if I recall correctly.

@@LamarMatic thanks!

Not to take away from Vetra's skill set on display in this game, but until Marbury teamed up with Garnett, this team was tough to watch.

[@FilipoSooaUlufale]

Imagine Marbury, Rider, Gundars Vetra, Garnett, Gugliotta and Laettner complemented by Doug West, Micheal Williams, etc.
