Former Louisville star Russ Smith is doing all he can to make his way back into the NBA, even if it takes scoring over half of his team's 142 points in a game. That's what Smith did earlier this week when he scored 81 points on 15-of-26 shooting from the field, including 10 made three-pointers and 21-of-22 shooting from the foul line. The Kobe-like effort brought his points-per-game average up to 61 points through five games for Luoyang in the Chinese National Basketball League. That is Russdiculous, as they say.
