Lorenzo Brown 11 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2015)

With the departure of exceptionally-skinny dude Corey Brewer, the Timberwolves had a dire need at the “emaciated guy” position. With the free agent pickings looking slim, the Wolves turned to the D-League for answers, and there they found the near-death player they were looking for: Lorenzo Brown. Brown has it all: he has wiry arms…

Tyreke Evans 25 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2015)

Again, my phone rings. This time, I know exactly who it is, as this customer has been assigned a special ringtone: Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe”. I put the finishing touches on a new video description, then give in to the phone’s pleas to be answered. “Hello, Mr. Evans. I was wondering when I…

Rodney Stuckey 22 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2015)

Back when my NBA knowledge was sourced entirely from the 2K series of video games, I had a nickname for Rodney Stuckey: “Really Sucky”. My juvenile, underdeveloped frontal lobe thought this was a very funny thing to call him. In the game, the nickname was appropriate as it would be for every other player in…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 13 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2015)

The NBA has tried for many years to make the dunk contest relevant again, and for those many years they have failed. I don’t know if anything will restore the luster that the contest once had, but putting in a non-spectecular dunker in Giannis Antetokounmpo definitely won’t help. Don’t get me wrong. I love Giannis….

Jordan Clarkson 18 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2015)

NBA commentators and fans alike often refer to rookie players as “kids”. This is kind of weird to me, when often these “kids” are gigantic hulking behemoths with pronounced musculature and crappy facial hair. Have you ever seen a kid who resembles Nikola Mirotic even a little bit? Don’t answer that. In some cases, though,…

Enes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2015)

I’m of the opinion that Enes Kanter could have a Greg Monroe-esque impact on offense if he was given an equivalent amount of touches. He also has a Greg Monroe-esque impact on defense by being slow-footed and not very good at team defense. So, however much Greg Monroe is going to get paid, that’s how…

Beno Udrih 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2015)

It’s nice to see that Beno Udrih’s midrange game is still on point. He wasn’t the most enjoyable player when he was with the Bucks, but you could always count on him to make a couple awkward-looking elbow jumpers per game. Unfortunately his range doesn’t really extend out to three-point line, which limits his effectiveness…

Tayshaun Prince 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2015)

Father Time has landed a fair few heavy blows to Tayshaun Prince. I don’t know how much longer he can remain in the league, especially now that he’s on a rebuilding team who doesn’t have much use for his talents. How far can championship experience take a player? Judging by his current apperance, it looks…

Kris Humphries 21 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2015)

Andre Miller had stayed late signing autographs. When he got to the locker room, there was nobody there. He sat down in his locker to start taking off his shoes. Since there was nobody to talk to, he instead looked around idly at his surroundings. The locker next to his, which was Kris’, was fully…
