The “Shabazzle-Dazzle” nickname for Shabazz Napier is overplayed, in my opinion. And since I am the world’s foremost expert on NBA player nicknames (having coined a large percentage of the total nicknames in circulation myself), my opinion is basically fact. I am going to use my domain-specific knowledge here to throw my weight around a…

Daniel Theis 20 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)
One sad thing about Tommy Heinsohn doing fewer and fewer Celtics games is that we might never get to hear first-hand accounts of what Daniel Theis looks like in the shower (or, as Heinsohn would say, “in the SHOWAH”).

I don’t want to say he failed in his efforts, but the next Jason Kidd would never score 20 without dishing a single assist. Somehow he turned MCW into a scoring-only chucker instead. Oops!…

Frank Ntilikina is alive! If you are doubting the veracity of this proclamation, just take a look at the statline in the title of this video. That is not the statline of a dead person. That is the statline of an alive person. The Knicks have been somewhat resurgent after firing their coach (which was…
