The amazing 10-day run that Daniel Gafford has been on leaves him with a piece of history that hardly anybody else can claim.
He’s mentioned in the same sentence as Wilt Chamberlain.
The oft-forgotten Big Dipper, who still deserves to be mentioned in any greatest-of-all-time arguments, made 35 consecutive shots back in 1967.
Gafford made 33 in a row before a tough putback try on Thursday at Oklahoma City careened off the rim.
He’s No. 2 on the list, right behind Wilt.
And he wants more.
“I’m smiling ear-to-ear on the inside just because I had a chance to do it,” Gafford said after the 126-119 loss to the Thunder.
