Some NBA players have poor form shooting the ball. Does anybody ever get tired of Rashard Lewis doing his little flick-shot, or Chuck Hayes seizing up at the free throw line? In Martin’s case, he shoots like a little girl, as if he lacks the arm strength to shoot the ball over his head. But…

Eric Bledsoe 14 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2012)
NBA players are a lot like pizza toppings. Kobe Bryant is pepperoni, obviously. GOAT player = Goat topping. Durant is mushrooms, both sometimes playing second fiddle to inferior companions. Eric Bledsoe is corn. The reasons for this are self-explanatory. If you are having trouble figuring this out, here’s a hint: it doesn’t have to do…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2012)
Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in his 7th NBA game. That’s pretty nuts, considering he hasn’t scored more than 37 since then. Now he’s just an inefficient chucker who is also used as a benchmark for other crappy shooters. Like, “Kemba Walker is shooting worse than Jennings” or “John Wall is barely a better shooter…
Read MoreDanny Green 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/8/2012)
The Spurs are a magical organization. They take other team’s discarded scrubs and transmute them into coveted role-players. Take Danny Green for example. After showing very little as a mid-second-round pick by the Cavs, he was waived and picked up by the Spurs, where he became a starter-caliber player. As the Spurs’ designated three-point launcher,…
Read MoreLou Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2012)
Lou Williams led the 76ers in scoring last year despite coming off the bench. He is now scoring 14 PPG for the Hawks, also off the bench. If I was him, I’d be pissed, because somebody with his scoring ability should get to start more than forty games in an eight-year career. But you can’t…
Read MoreJeff Green 16 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2012)
Jeff Green. Is he good? Some, mainly Celtics fans, will say yes. Some, mainly Celtics fans, will say no. Some, mainly Lakers fans, will say “lol who is that he ain’t Kobe count tha rings bitchez”. The remainder of NBA fans will say “he’s better than Kendrick Perkins who is just a total turd”. Which…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2012)
The Phoenix Suns sure love stocking up on crappy lottery picks. Wesley Johnson, Sebastian Telfair, Channing Frye. Am I missing anybody? Oh yeah, Michael Beasley. Bane of my fantasy team (I know, I know, fantasy basketball is stupid, blame peer pressure). Beasley is bad this year. So why am I doing highlights of him? I…
Read MoreAustin Rivers Career High 15 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2012)
Do you remember watching those mixes of Austin Rivers while he was in high school? I do. I remember the sick crossovers, the sick pull-up J’s, all the cool stuff. Well, now he’s in the NBA, and guess what, he kinda sucks. That doesn’t mean he’ll suck forever, but as of right now he’s not…
Read MoreQuincy Pondexter 16 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2012)
Quincy Pondexter is one of those guys, who is in the NBA, but no one really seems to know they exist. They just float in the aether of NBA scrub-dom, flitting this way and that, going from team to team, until they just silently fall out of the league after getting waived in training camp….
Read MoreAl Jefferson 31 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (12/5/2012)
“Big” Al Jefferson is a puzzle. He puts up excellent numbers and has a supremely refined offensive game, but can he contribute to a winning basketball team? Nope. The Jazz are merely average this year, although they are worlds better than the awful Timberpuppy teams that Jefferson headlined for a while. None of this is…
