Is there any fate more terrible than being a tweener forward in the NBA? Combo guards are sought-after commodities. Power forward/center types are valued for their versatility. But, as every NBA fan can attest to, tweener forwards just plain suck. They can’t bang with PF’s, but they’re too slow to be SF’s. Everything they do…

Kyle Korver 22 points/5 threes Full Highlights (11/16/2012) (Also Kyle Korver dunks in this one)
Today’s Fun Factoid: Kyle Korver’s high school class voted him “Most Likely to Look Like Ashton Kutcher”. I vote him “Most Likely to Make it Rain from Downtown”, and after you watch this video you will cast a similar vote. Korveman is also the second least dunk-prone player in the NBA (first place belonging to…
Read MoreJason Thompson 19 Points/10 Rebounds Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
Jason “Always Comes Out On Thomp” Thompson has the misfortune of playing for one of the most disorganized franchises in the NBA, the Virginia Bea – sorry, the Sacramento Kings. It looks like they suck this year as well, despite tanking hard for good draft position last season (does Thomas Robinson even play? Jimmer who?),…
Read MoreSam Young 14 Points vs Mavs Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
“Dear Diary, today was a great day! Coach Vogel said I played real well! I shot the ball 11 times and made 6 of them. That’s pretty good for me, maybe here in Indianapolis people will like me better than they did in Philthydelphia. And after the game me and Gerald went to the bar…
Read MoreRaymond Felton 25 Points vs Spurs Full Highlights (11/15/2012)
Raymond “Fatty” Felton was chased out of Portland by a torch and pitchfork wielding mob. Has he fared better in New York? Well, so far he has, and in this game he drops 25 points and 7 assists on the befuddled Spurs. Sources tell me that after the game he joined Rasheed for some celebratory…
Read MoreJohn Henson 10 points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2012)
Ten points and two blocks in less than eight minutes. Sounds like an end-of-bench player got let loose in the fourth quarter again! What we see here is John Henson exerting his style all over the scrubtastic Pacer’s cleanup crew, heaving the rock eight times (connecting with net five times) and imposing his will on…
Read MoreJae Crowder 12 Points Full Highlights 11/14/2012
Jae Crowder, proud owner of the NBA’s longest hair, displays his versatile game against the Wizards, scoring 12 points and dishing 3 dimes. He did so while looking almost exactly like Kenneth Faried. The only way to tell the difference is to see which one likes to chuck threes. Hint: it’s Crowder.
Read MoreAndrei Kirilenko 26 points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2012)
Drunk on vodka and hopped up on krokodil, Andrei “Russian Roulette” Kirilenko stumbles into the arena to score 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting. The bags under his eyes tell the sad story of substance dependency, love forlorn, and the uncanny ability to hit shots from anywhere on the floor. It also helps that Minnesota’s climate…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 20 Points/12 Rebounds Full Highlights 11/14/12
Former Magic Ryan Anderson likes to shoot threes. Lots of them. In fact, he shot 10 of them in this game alone. Made 2 of them. But he made 7 of his other 10 shots so it’s okay I guess? So, in conclusion, yeah, Ryan Anderson likes to shoot threes.
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 15 Points/2 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2012)
Maybe the Bobcats don’t suck as much as we thought. At the time of this writing they’re sitting at .500, thanks in part to the impressive play of one Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Here he scores 15 points against a Wizards team that’s trying very hard to go 0-82. It looks like the Bobcats may have actually…
