Joel Freeland Records First NBA Double-Double, Has NASTY Block on Tim Hardaway!

By Bradley Gains on December 29, 2014

Joel Freeland posted his first NBA career double-double in a 101-79 win over the Knicks and produced a couple of big-time blocks.

The British forward started his sixth consecutive game, finishing with a season-high 10 points and 10 rebounds whilst adding two blocks including an emphatic rejection of Tim Hardaway’s dunk attempt.

And Freeland had some British support at the Moda Arena, impressing double Olympic Athletics champion Mo Farah.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
