Markel Brown 9 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

Markel Brown is notable for having once, in a sanctioned NCAA game, dunked on someone so hard that the refs had no choice but to eject him from the contest. Fate was kinder to him this time, though the dunk was not as outrageous. He didn’t even use anybody’s head as toilet paper.

Tim Frazier 13 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

Having impaled the body of the lead NBA copyright enforcer, I have no time for celebration. I must find where Dawk Ins is being detained. I dial his number, not bothering to find another phone. The NBA already knows about me. Just as I had hoped, the call is answered, and a gruff voice gloats,…

Tyler Zeller 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

“Squad, take down this door. DownToBuck is going down just like his little friend.” The NBA enforcers are at my door, just as Dawk Ins had warned me. I look down at my cat. “Japurri, to your station,” I command. “If war is what they desire, war is what they shall receive.” I put on…

Al-Farouq Aminu 17 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

I sit in front of my computer, editing highlight videos as I do every Saturday morning. When my phone rings, I have no idea how soon my life will change completely. After trimming the current clip to the perfect length, preserving the audio while only showing a second of the player running back down the…

Langston Galloway 19 Points/1 Half-Court Shot Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

This is the perfect opportunity to get on my soapbox. Since it is a larger soapbox, with a wider audience, than most people are allowed, I should take advantage of it more often than I do. Attention NBA players: if you protect your stats by failing to shoot half-court shots at the buzzer, be it…

Lou Williams 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

Lou Williams stood at the entrance of the Haas Howell building on the campus of Georgia State University. He had done this many times, now, but getting in front of people to perform still made him nervous. ———————————————– “Yes, I’m sure my students would love a session with famous jazz saxophonist Lou Williams!” came the…

Spencer Dinwiddie 12 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

Man, some of the assists are just total BS. Not trying to hate on Spencer Dinwiddie here, he played a great game. It’s not his fault the scorekeepers got happy fingers and handed out assists like the Pistons have to hand out tickets to home games. But damn. I’m surprised they didn’t give some to…

Bojan Bogdanovic 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

We can no longer ignore it. The rumors, previously dismissed to be slanderous and vengeful, are true. I see it plainly with my own two eyes, like the breaking of a new day. Bojan Bogdanovic, at the tender age of 25, is going bald. His hairline, once pristine, now withers away like fallen autumn leaves…

Tyler Johnson 14 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

More Tyler Johnson highlights? Yes please! We are not likely to see a whole lot more of him this year, now that some prima-donna Slovenian wannabe has entered the scene. A better time than any to throw down his first NBA dunk, as the spectre of Goran Dragic grows ever nearer! Tyler supposedly has pretty…

Nerlens Noel 12 Points/9 Blocks Full Highlights (2/20/2015)

The circular room is dimly light by candles adorning the walls. Enthroned on the raised dais in the center of the hall is a dark man adorned in brilliant red robes. Around him, kneeling in reverence, are various black-cloaked figures, gazing at their soon-to-be leader. From the main entrance comes a man. He, too, is…
