Oh great. Just what the Spurs needed. Another really good bench player picked up for nothing from another team. There may have been some doubt before as to how many games they would win the finals in. Now that number certainly is four. Who is this great bench player? Jeff Ayres of course! Hold on….

OJ Mayo 21 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
If you made a big list of all the free-agent signings this off-season, and sorted it by how successful each player was, OJ Mayo would surely be at the bottom. However, if you sorted said list by how fat each player was, OJ Mayo would be at the top! So it averages out. All good….
Read MoreChris Wright 9 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
With this performance, Chris Wright’s 10-day contract comes due, and his time in the league comes to end. Fare thee well, Chris. We will always remember your 57% field goal percentage, your 19.1 PER, and your .202 win shares per 48. It is truly a crime that the Bucks’ best player since Ray Allen is…
Read MoreKyle O’Quinn 14 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
Blearily opening his eyes, a six-year-old Kyle O’Quinn squinted at the bright sunlight shining in his face, wishing he could go back to sleep. Then, he remembered the significance of this morning, and all traces of fatigue vanished from his body. He hopped out of bed and, not bothering to change out of his bright-green…
Read MoreP.J. Tucker 19 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
P.J. “Pajamas” Tucker might be one of the least-heralded starters in the NBA. He brings the hustle every night and shoots over 40% from three, but there’s no hype for him. Some possible reasons for this unfortunate state of affairs: -His head is round-looking -He is old (28) and probably won’t improve much past this…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 20 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
Mirza Teletovic has exclusive rights to the nickname “MT3”. Which makes sense, I guess. He shoots threes. His initials are MT. But would it better to give that nickname to Marcus Thornton? He has the same attributes! I don’t which of them is the better player, but Mirza hasn’t been doing all that much lately…
Read MoreJan Vesely 10 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/23/2014)
Playing in the NBA must really suck. There are these things called “expectations” that follow you around your whole career and cause untold amounts of stress. Jan Vesely has plenty of these so-called “expectations”. These include “having skills other than athleticism”, “the ability to shoot free throws”, and “not being a gigantic bust”. Unfortunately he…

“An Ode to Vegemite” “What greater pleasure can there be Than a piece of toast adorned with thee The sultry lust, the first bite Enter me now, my Vegemite Yeast extract is your main allure Any ills your taste shall cure Invented in 1922 by Cyril P. Callister A treasured representation of Australian culture Maybe…
Read MoreRichard Jefferson 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2014)
Sometimes I wish I had been making highlight videos back in the early 2000’s. There were a lot of scrubs that I’ve never heard of putting up some good performances, but not only that, today’s washed-up vets were having some monster scoring games of their own. I mean, Richard Jefferson on the Nets dropping 39…
Read MoreHenry Sims 18 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/22/2014)
Time for some thought exercises. I’m going to throw out a randomly-chosen assortment of current NBA big men, and you tell me if it would be the worst frontcourt rotation ever in NBA history. Henry Sims Brandon Davies Arnett Moultrie Byron Mullens Jarvis Varnado Fooled you! The above players weren’t chosen at random – they…
