And he now has his own burger. MKG It's the appropriately named Motor Keeps Going burger, sold at The Cowfish restaurant in Charlotte. From the company Facebook page: "When you order Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's Motor Keeps Going (a half-pound turkey burger, on a sesame bun, made with raclette, spinach and fried leek with hot pepper jelly with a half a vegetarian sushi roll and sweet potato fries) through the end of April, The Cowfish will donate $5 from every sale to A Child's Place, one of Kidd-Gilchrist’s favorite charities."   2. Nerlens Noel is averaging 8.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.6 steals, and 1.5 assists per game. Former All-Star Grant Hill sat down with Nerlens to see how his year was going. Remember - G. Hill used to sport the high-top fade, too. 3. Patrick Patterson is averaging 8.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and is shooting nearly 42 percent from three-point range. And while his team is in a slide, Patterson has taken it on himself to shoulder more of the rebounding load. The Raptors are 2-1 in the last three games, and Patterson has upped his average to 11 rebounds per game.
