The list of players who extended their careers by playing in Phoenix has grown one longer with the addition of Jermaine O’Neal. That, combined with the crazy German-knee-plasma-centrifuge thing he got done over the summer, has made him into a serviceable player once again. I didn’t know he could even still dunk, much less throw…

Greg Monroe 24 Points/17 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/3/2013)
Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond. Just think about that for a second. One player is already a top five center in the league, with a sweet touch around the rim. The other has a ceiling located in the stratosphere, and is already an excellent defender. If you are not jealous of the Pistons right now,…
Read MoreTerrence Jones Career High 14 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2013)
What is there to say about Terrence Jones? The dude barely plays. I guess he’s supposed to be a good dunker. Like Terrence Ross, who might be the same player. It’s hard to keep straight. Can this guy stretch the floor a little bit? Who knows. He certainly didn’t show any range tonight. He did…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 18 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2013)
“Hello, yes, I’d like to have my computer fixed. I think it got a virus or something; it doesn’t turn on any more.” “Well, put it up on the counter and I’ll see what I can do.” The customer read the attendants name tag. “Evan Fournier. That’s an exotic sounding name. You French?” “Yes, France…
Read MoreMarShon Brooks Career High 27 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/3/2013)
Well, this was unexpected. Obviously MarShon has it in him to score this many points on a semi-regular basis, but the Nets don’t seem very interested in playing him decent minutes. So when he does get in the game, he tries to do too much and gets taken right back out. That’s great. We wouldn’t…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
One of the many perks of being an NBA highlight compiler is the vast network of undercover operatives at my disposal. I tasked some of my Slovenian mafioso contacts to raid Beno Udrih’s childhood home and furnish me with any items of interest. The only things they got were a Michael Jordan poster and a…
Read MoreJose Calderon 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
Imagine the emotions running through Jose Calderon’s head as he starts in Toronto wearing another team’s colors. Confusion. Sadness. Bitterness. Lust. All these and more clouding his brain, making it hard to focus on the game. He manages to make it through the first half, but in his haze of feeling, accidentally starts heading to…
Read MoreJJ Redick 20 Points Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
JJ Redick was the man in college. Breaking all kinds of records, scoring tons of points, getting all the girls. I bet he wished it would never end, because once he came to the NBA he barely got to play. But now he’s miraculously converted himself into a good role-player. Everyone wants a three point…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 23 Points Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
Marreese “Speighetti” Speights is the second coming of Dirk. All you have to do is watch this video to witness him swish jumper after jumper. He is a scoring machine, yet he can’t even get 20 MPG with the Cavaliers, and he’s backing up Tyler Zeller. What’s up with that? It must be his defense….
Read MoreAvery Bradley 19 Points Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
According to Celtics fans, Avery Bradley is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. He might be. I don’t watch enough Celtics games to really know. I do remember that when he was out and the Celtics weren’t doing do good, that every loss was written off as “Well we don’t have Avery…
