Jayson Tatum approached his locker in a sort of daze. After their game-seven loss to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, everything had taken on a tinge of dismal surreality. They had made it so far, and now it was all over, and there was no trip to the Finals in their future. He…

Montrezl Harrell All 115 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)
“Normally we wouldn’t hire someone with your astounding lack of credentials, but the district is strapped for substitute teachers at the moment,” the administrator said. Montrezl Harrell, sitting on the opposite side of the desk from the man, nodded somberly, not wanting to say something stupid that would jeopardize his chances of landing the position….

Klay returned to his condo and happily set down the heavy bag of library books. The mystical “portal potion”, he put in his refrigerator. The man who had sold it to him hadn’t told him whether refrigeration was required, but Klay figured it couldn’t hurt. While he had the fridge open, he grabbed some of…

When Klay Thompson answered his ringing doorbell and saw Steve Kerr standing there, he knew something serious had just gone down. Coach never came to visit in person. If it was something important, Steve would call; for anything else, a text message sufficed. “Steph made another Three-Point Shooting Amulet,” Steve started, correctly assuming that Klay…

Stephen struggled to free himself, but after a few seconds, he determined that it was hopeless. The tentacle which had grabbed him around his right ankle had been joined by another tentacle which wrapped around his right thigh. The superhuman strength he had displayed in scaling the mountain was nothing compared to the power of…

As soon as Stephen’s fingertip grazed the vibrant green surface of the portal, everything changed. The warning voice of Steve Kerr disappeared from his hearing, and the subterranean cavern disappeared from his sight. He was being pulled through a void of absolute black, and even his own physical being seemed to have vanished out of…

So this summer I treated myself to a little vacation to New York City. I don’t really care about all the normal tourist stuff (everybody hypes up Times Square but it’s just, like, a really crowded city block. That’s it.) but there were two things that I definitely needed to experience. Thing one: denigrate New…
Read MoreDamian Lillard All 227 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation Part II)
Damian stared at the discarded abacus as if had burned him. Of course, nothing of the sort had happened. He had been overcome with a vision of something, a moment of startling clarity among the recent confusing events, but the origin of the abaci remained just as unknown as before. It lay there on the…
Read MoreDamian Lillard All 227 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation Part I)
Damian Lillard woke up feeling refreshed and tranquil, but this was no surprise to him; tranquility was an easy state of mind to reach when one had relocated to a remote cabin in the Oregon Cascades for the off-season. Morning sunlight, filtered by a thick pine forest, served as a much more peaceful alarm clock…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic All 129 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation)
Bogdan Bogdanovic exited the restaurant feeling somewhat disquieted. His food had been good and the service impeccable, but there had been a pair of besuited men sitting at a faraway table who had spent their entire meal just staring at him. It made Bogdan wonder if there was some distant family member in Serbia who…
