The rest of the world went nuts over Brandon’s Double Nickel, but DeMar saw it as nothing more than par for the course: ” As a kid growing up in Compton, Calif., Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan saw plenty of amazing feats produced by Brandon Jennings, who posted the season’s most eye-popping moment by going off for 55 points in Milwaukee’s win over Golden State on Saturday. ‘When I was told what Brandon did, I wasn’t surprised,’ DeRozan said. ‘He’s capable of doing that easily.’ DeRozan and Jennings were on the same youth team in Grade 6.
