Tyreke Evans walked into the locker room before the game holding a large box. He set it down and opened it, revealing a purple, green, and yellow cake. “Look what I got us! A little something special for Mardi Gras! A kingcake! I thought we could have maybe a little snack before the game. Everyone…

Perry Jones III 12 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
There was a lot of hype in college about Perry Jones III. I think. It’s been a while and I get my prospects confused sometimes. But I’m pretty sure people we’re really intrigued by his combination of size and athleticism. (actually I just checked out a draft website and they said his comparison was Tim…
Read MoreByron Mullens 15 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
This is what the highlight video of the future will look like. Three Pointers. Dunks. Free Throws. Nothing else. All that other stuff will be too inefficient for future-denizens. Byron Mullens is leading us into a glorious high-efficiency era of smart shot selection. Actually he’s one of the wackiest players in the league and has…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 23 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Is Bazemore this year’s Tobias Harris? Contending team (Warriors) trades him and another so-called “scrub” (MarShon Brooks) to a tanking team in exchange for a washed-up veteran who is supposed to help them in the playoffs (Steve Blake). Then the traded player gets to his new team and starts going nuts, displaying scoring ability that…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
I don’t get what went wrong with Michael Beasley. His first few years in the league were fine. Maybe not as amazing as people hoped after all the college hype, but fine. Then he got put in the doghouse in Minnesota and still hasn’t emerged. I know he’s a bit of an airhead and isn’t…
Read MoreDion Waiters 24 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Not to toot my own (or Dion’s) horn or anything, but these are some fun highlights to watch. His jumpers are absolutely flawless, nothing but net. His layups are all heavily contested and showcase his good body control. He dunks with power. I admit that when I watched these highlights I thought wildly of Cleveland…
Read MoreKlay Thompson 25 Points/1 Game Winner Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
One game he looks like a god. The next he looks like a scrub who can’t do anything. Such is the life of Klay Thompson. It’s not his fault that he’s pretty much a pure shooter with a dash of defense added in. Shooters get hot. Shooter go cold. That’s what they do, and that’s…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)
Lots of great basketball players write memoirs about their playing days. I can see Anthony Bennett doing the same. And by “see” I mean I actually looked into the future and perused copies of this book at Jolly & Rogers Ebook Emporium. If you don’t want to know how Bennett’s career turns out through the…
Read MoreTayshaun Prince 21 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)
Tayshaun was stretched out on his sofa, attempting to give his back some much-needed relief, while also enjoying some Price is Right on the TV. His phone, sitting by itself on the coffee table, began to rang just as he was getting comfortable. “This better be important,” he grumbled as he stretched to grab the…
Read MoreJodie Meeks 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/3/2014)
Jodie Meeks is a great three point shooter. We all knew that. But he can now open up his text editor of choice, load up that resume, and add a new skill: totally sick and prodigious dunkmaster. This video can be included as a reference. Who doesn’t love it when guards throw down poster dunks?…
