Move over, LeBron – there’s a new basketball wizard in town, and his name is Brandin Podziemski. 🧙‍♂️

Half-Court Hero Emerges

In a stunning display of pure basketball brilliance, the Warriors’ second-year guard turned the Crypto.com Arena into his personal playground during Thursday night’s game against the Lakers. Podziemski wasn’t just playing – he was absolutely demolishing expectations, dropping a jaw-dropping 22 points in the first half alone.

Beyond Ordinary Performance

Let’s break down this masterclass: 8 of 11 field goals, 6 of 8 from three-point range, and a plus-8 rating that basically screams “I own this court”. But the real chef’s kiss? A running half-court buzzer-beater that probably sent Lakers fans into an existential crisis. Talk about making an entrance.

Santa Clara’s Finest

With a career-high of 29 points previously set against the Utah Jazz, Podziemski was well on his way to potentially shattering that record. This Santa Clara product is proving he’s not just another rookie – he’s a certified game-changer who makes basketball look like an art form. Lakers, consider yourself served. 🔥
