Pat Spencer was once the best lacrosse player in the country.
And now, for two games in a row, he's scored at least 16 points for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA.
Yeah, it's been quite the journey.
Spencer scored 17 points on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, then followed that up with 16 points on Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.
He has shot 13-for-22 across the two games while making 3-of-4 from 3-point range. He's added a total of seven rebounds and 10 assists across the two contests.
It'd be cool for a guy who is mostly a bench player to do this in any context.
In Spencer's context? It's amazing.

Spencer spent four seasons playing Division I college lacrosse at Loyola in Maryland.
He was the greatest lacrosse player in the land his senior year, taking home the Tewaaraton Award, which is the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.
Spencer was an All-American all four seasons at Loyola.
Spencer did play basketball in high school at The Boys' Latin School in Maryland. He averaged 14.3 points per game as a senior.
After his four years at Loyola, Spencer used his last eligibility to play college hoops at Northwestern.
In the 2019-20 season with the Wildcats, Spencer averaged 10.4 points per game.
And from there, he's grinded his way through two-way contract status to continue finding playing time for the Warriors.
When Golden State is healthy, Spencer won't play as much. But it's still remarkable to see what he's doing.
