There are players known in basketball circles for being weird heights for their positions. Like Chuck Hayes the 6′ 6” center or Magic Johnson the 6′ 8″” point guard.

Kosta Koufos 16 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2012)
While not taking part in austerity protests or fighting with Omer Asik for control of Cyprus, Kosta Koufos enjoys playing basketball for the Denver Nuggets. He represents a stark contrast to Javale McGee who is always flying around, flailing his arms every which way, and dunking everything that he touches. Meanwhile, Koufos is content to…

Raptors fans have been known to lament about Ross “What is the point of having a shooting guard who can’t shoot?”. Which is of course missing the point. He may not be able to shoot, but why shoot it when you can just run in and jam it? Silly Canadians. And it turns out they’re…

Read MoreCarmelo Anthony 45 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2013)
Carmelo Anthony’s New Year’s Resolution: Average 40 points a game the rest of the season. He’s definitely off to a good start, once again proving that he’s one of the league’s premiere scorers. This 45 against the Blazers ties the league-high in single game points again, as he had that many against the Nets early…
