Tuesday night, JaVale McGee had a triple double against the Chicago Bulls with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and an absolutely ridiculous 12 blocks. 'Course, he didn't block quite enough shots, because JaVale's Wizards still lost by 19 points.

It leaves us wondering ... If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If a McGee has a triple double for a team losing by double digits, does it really count? If a player disgraces the game of basketball by celebrating like a schoolboy when his team's down 20 points, shouldn't there be some sort of asterisk in the record books?
