"It's just an honor to be in the same [spot] -- any type of record book -- with one of the greatest of all time"

DeMar DeRozan had 38 points in Bulls win on Saturday. It was DeRozan’s fifth straight game with at least 35 points.

Per ESPN, Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan scored 38 points Saturday night to lead the Bulls to 106-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the fifth consecutive game he has finished with at least 35 points.

DeRozan became just the second player in Bulls history to record at least five straight 35-point games, joining Michael Jordan, who did so four times in his career, most recently in 1996.

“It’s just an honor to be in the same [spot] — any type of record book — with one of the greatest of all time,” DeRozan said after the win. “Especially playing for this organization. It’s an honor. It probably [hasn’t] hit me right now. I don’t know what roll I’m on. Just being myself.”
