We like to think players are so caught up in the game that they don’t notice when they’re approaching a statistical accomplishment. It’s not true.
One example is Andray Blatche, who tried everything humanly possible to get his 10th rebound back in 2010. It would have been funny as hell, if it hadn’t been so disrespectful to the opponent.
In the end, Blatche wasn’t able to grab a 10th rebound, therefore being one rebound shy of his first and only NBA triple double ever.
He finished with 20 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds.
