(Check out our Everything Power Rankings, our awesome daily recap of, well, everything. For more Milwaukee Bucks coverage check out We’re Bucked.)

LeBron James, eat your heart out. Milwaukee Bucks rook Brandon Jennings just became the youngest player, 20 years and 52 days old, to score 50 points with his 55-point “double nickel” outburst against the Warriors.

Kareem Abdul-Jabber, eat your heart out (sorry to be insensitive, Cap). Jennings just broke your Bucks rookie scoring record.

Wilt Chamberlain, eat your heart out. Almost. Jennings was but three points shy of tying Wilt 20000’s rookie scoring record of 58.

Seriously, who the f*** is this kid. Jennings went to Italy for a year, got this tattoo upon his return and then was late to his own NBA Draft. It looked like he was about to be the latest disaster in a long line of disasters for the Bucks. Then, out of absolutely effin’ nowhere, Jennings becomes the best rookie since LeBron James? Shocking, but we might as well get on with it and hand him the RoY trophy.

Tonight, he absolutely demolished the Dubs with acrobatic drives and three-point carpet bombing. Jennings had 29 points in the third quarter — that’s some Reggie Miller in the Garden sh**! He also scored 10 points in the last two minutes and change to put the game away — that’s some Kobe Bryant in the playoffs sh**. This kid is already making a case for superstardom. If you think I’m running amok with hyperbole here, remember that this is dude’s seventh — SEVENTH! — game. Check out the highlights…

      55 points! wow!

      but it was against the warriors, so after the conversion rate that's only 40 points. still impressive though!

      “Double nickel”?? Just stay with fifty five, not “fitty” or “double nickel” or any other inferior ghetto slang term.
