Zach Randolph slumped sadly against the cinder-block wall of his cell in the Sacramento County jail. His mind was filled with regret as he closed his eyes. Why had he ever thought it was a good idea to break into a Krispy Kreme donut store? He had plenty of money with which to buy donuts…

Frank Mason 13 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Would you call the shot that happens at 0:15 a dunk? Of course not, right? Frank Mason was about two feet below the rim when he let that shot go. Nothing about it was even remotely dunk-like. It was simply not a dunk. My friends, the bigwigs in the ivory tower of the NBA would…
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 14 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Quick Quiz Question 1: what was Vince Carter telling De’Aaron Fox in the thumbnail image? A.) [some sappy encouragement or positive message to lift the rookie’s spirits after he got yanked from the floor four minutes into the game] B.) “Listen up rook, you know I can still catch lobs, right? So, next time down…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 21 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
At age 33, J.J. Barea is averaging the most points per game of his career, 12.4. Unlike most players who peak around age 28 or so, Barea is peaking in his thirties, and he might not be done peaking yet. I could attribute this to a few things: his short stature which means he only…
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 12 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
I made this whole video and I still don’t know the answer to my question: can DeAndre’ Bembry shoot the ball? We can conclusively conclude that he has the ability to finish at the rim, and that he can shoot free throws (which, while a form of shooting, is not quote-unquote “shooting”), but we cannot…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Prior to this game, Robert Covington had made ten out of his last 43 attempts from threeworld. This included a 0-of-9 effort against the Cavaliers. Covington’s slump coincided strangely with his brand new contract extension, but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and not just assume he played out of his…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Almost subconsciously, I have developed a personal “tier” system to help me categorize and keep track of the point guards in the league. And, to me, Reggie Jackson is in the tier right below the “fringe all-star” tier. The only problem is, that particular tier doesn’t have a name. Reggie Jackson is occupying that tier…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 12 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Jarrett Allen is who I wanted the Bucks to draft this year. I’m not the greatest evaluator of talent in the draft, and I readily admit that my main motivation was to get that wonderful afro on my team so I could look at it all the time. It’s so perfect. Just a perfect sphere…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
I’ve gotten to the point in my Bucks fandom where I simply yell “KHASH MONEY DEUCES” in a raspy voice every time Khris Middleton makes a midrange jumper. I blame Gus Johnson for inventing the phrase. It’s so catchy. If he makes a three instead of a two (not as often an occurrence this year),…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 18 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Trey Lyles, at this point, may be one of the most forgotten men in the NBA. Hardcore Canadian nationalists may still remember his existence, and Nuggets fans also, but that’s about it. He was anonymous even as the 12th pick in his rookie year, and he’s only gotten worse since then. It took Paul Millsap…
