What will Jeremy Lin’s lasting legacy be in the league? Being the first-ever Asian-American player to make it to the pros? Or the second-ever Harvard player? Or being one of the enduring success stories for the ages, showing what can be accomplished with just hard work and effort after everybody counts you out? No. Thanks…

Roy Hibbert 19 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/31/2013)
2013 has finally left us behind, after 365 days of torment and misery, and in its place is the year 2014, who will doubtlessly be as cruel or crueller than the past year. In the distance I can hear the sounds of resolutions being broken. I for one have already failed in all of my…
Read MoreJimmer Fredette 10 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2013)
I remember back when Jimmer was drafted there were angry comments from Bucks fans that went something like this: “We drafted Jimmer but traded him to Sucktown? SMH this is Dirk all over again.” You really can’t expect much from the average casual sports fan, can you? Of course, the Bucks technically drafted Jimmer, and…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 12 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2013)
The “Kent Bazemore at point guard” experiment needs to end. He’s barely an NBA level shooting guard; playing him out of position only makes him worse. Just play Nedovic as the backup. At least he has court vision. This blatant mismanagement of available talent really calls into the question the competency of the Warriors’ coaching…
Read MoreTyreke Evans 20 Points/1 Game Winner Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
Would you believe me if I told you that there is a player in the league, RIGHT NOW, who averaged 20/5/5 in his rookie season? And that this player hasn’t even made a single all-star game? I don’t blame you if you don’t believe me. That is some seriously screwed up stuff right there. But…
Read MoreTrey Burke 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
You know how moms always save your childhood drawings even though they all suck? People with no torsos, skewed houses with gigantic windows, scribbles that you can’t believe might have once represented something to your underdeveloped brain? Moms just can’t get rid of these priceless relics. And I’ve found out that you can learn some…
Read MoreShawn Marion 32 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
Shawn Marion is many things. All-Star. Illinoisan. Olympian. Male. Champion. But is he a Hall-of-Famer? Some would say no. But those people are wrong. So wrong, in fact, that I do not need to go into detail about the ways in which they are wrong because the wrongness is so self evidently wrong. The correct…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
Disappointment fills my body like a neglected washtub, once full to the brim, but now overflowing. Hopes and dreams that once seemed so bright are now blackened with soot and decay. This anguish is manifesting itself as a watery discharge evacuating via my nasolacrimal passage. I expected KCP to at least score 20 points tonight….
Read MoreEvan Turner 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
I never got the concept of easing up near the end of a blowout. The fans paid to see good basketball. They don’t want to see teams not even trying to score near the end of the game. I bet there are playoff tiebreakers where point differential matters. And it’s kind of like “We beat…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 15 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2013)
Omri Casspi has had a disappointing season so far for the Rockets. They badly needed a replacement for the now-departed Carlos Delfino, and Casspi passed the eye test. He’s foreign, he doesn’t shave often enough, and he can shoot threes. But if you’re gonna follow in the footsteps of the great Delfino, you’re gonna need…
