LSU basketball signee Emmitt Williams sets Jordan Brand Classic scoring record

Apparently, all LSU basketball signee Emmitt Williams needs is a little motivation to get his motor running full blast.

Williams, a power forward from Oak Ridge Orlando, scored a game-record 44 points, to lead the Home squad to a 146-136 win Sunday in the 17th annual Jordan Brand Classic boys basketball game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

"I'm glad people are noticing me now," Williams said. "I wasn't a McDonald's All-American, and I know I should have been one and I made a statement why I should have been one."

Williams threw in a variety of dunks as he broke after breaking LeBron James' Jordan Classic record of 34 points.
