Andrew and his older self walked across the dark lawn of the campus. Despite the rain shower, Andrew was concerned by the fact that they were walking so brazenly out in the open, in flagrant violation of the basketball camp’s curfew. Despite his concern, he kept his doubts to himself; he didn’t want to seem…

DeAndre Jordan All 227 Dunks Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Dunkilation)
DeAndre Jordan relaxed on his sofa, wondering idly if his other Clippers teammates had started their off-season training regimens yet. Mindlessly spooning Golden Grahams into his mouth, DeAndre decided they probably hadn’t. Except for Chris Paul. His doorbell rang. Not expecting any visitors, he looked down to make sure he had put on pants this…
Read MoreLarry Nance Jr. All 53 Dunks Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Dunkilation)
Larry Nance scrolled through the contacts list on his phone, up and down, up and down, trying to figure out which one of his numerous acquaintances would be able to help him. The hazy, bright late-spring morning outside his window only caused his yearning to grow, and he impatiently chose a name at the bottom…
Read MoreSteven Adams 16 Points Full Highlights (5/16/2016)
Unfortunately for all you viewers out there, this video, while technically a shining example of the craft of highlight-making, does not truly encompass the full “Steven Adams Experience”. For most players, field goals and blocked shots constitute “highlights”. But for Steven Adams, the real highlights are on plays that don’t show up in the box…
Read MoreRussell Westbrook All 68 Dunks Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Dunkilation)
Russell Westbrook could be the hardest-trying player in the league. When he dunks, he doesn’t just plop the ball through the hoop like a wimp. He rockets the ball with enough force that if somebody was standing underneath it and got hit in the head, they would probably die. His whamjams regularly appear in my…
Read MoreBismack Biyombo Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2016)
I don’t think there are many things more clutch than scoring a career high in a game seven. And I don’t think that there were many people out there who had ventured to affix the “clutch” label on Bismack Biyombo. If we evaluate this performance honestly, Biyombo scoring seventeen is comparable to Stephen Curry scoring…

The two tall men embraced in the terminal of Dallas/Fort Worth airport. The taller of the two was dressed in a baby blue tank top, extra-small green running shorts, a pink feather boa, and a top hat. The shorter was dressed in the same purple suit that he had been wearing when they had said…
Read MoreJustise Winslow 12 Points Full Highlights (5/13/2016)
Basically, anytime you succeed in wringing some points out of the defense-only talents of Justise Winslow, it’s a bonus. Those are bonus points. They even get put in a special section of the box score called “bonus points” where all the players who aren’t supposed to score points get their points put. It’s like a…
Read MoreTim Duncan 19 Points/1 Final Game? Full Highlights (5/12/2016)
Tim Duncan awoke to find himself in an odd place populated only by a pervasive gray mist. He tentatively took a step forward and was relieved to find that he was standing on some kind of solid floor, even though he could see nothing below him but an extending void filled with the fog. He…

Steven Adams: the Thunder’s third best player? Let’s take a look at some of his competition: Serge Ibaka: Only shoots jumpers now Dion Waiters: Dion Waiters Randy Foye: The Nuggets didn’t want him Anthony Morrow: Would be better but has been lashed to the bench by Donovan’s ineptitude Enes Kanter: If his name had a…
