There’s something different about these Jonas Valanciunas highlights. Something he doesn’t normally do. Can you figure out? It’s not very obvious until it gets pointed out. But here it is: instead of pumpfaking a million times when he got the ball in the midrange and only after that taking the shot or driving, Jonas for…

Ersan Ilyasova 22 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2014)
I entered the gymnasium with confidence, trying to appear as if I belonged there. The hustle and bustle of Bucks Media Day was the perfect cover for my devious plot. “Excuse me, Mr. Ilyasova, could I speak to you a moment?” I asked, grabbing Ersan’s arm. “It will really only take a second.” Ersan glanced…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 16 Points Full Highlights (3/13/2014)
Kent Bazemore’s true colors are showing. He doesn’t want to be a defensive specialist off the bench. He wants to be an offensive centerpiece, the kind of guy who takes tons of shots. Who can blame him? When I play basketball I want to score. I don’t want to try and stop the other guy….
Read MoreDennis Schroeder 8 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (3/13/2014)
Dennis Schroeder (Dënniß ßchrööder for the Germans out there, Guten Tag!) was hyped as the best pure point guard in the draft. That’s a nice way of saying that he can’t score at all. But he has good court vision and quickness, and everyone loves a selfless distributor on their team. He’s not doing super…
Read MoreMike Dunleavy 21 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (3/13/2014)
Mike Dunleavy, henceforth referred to as “Manleavy”, is allegedly a dirty player. That’s why DeMarcus Cousins hates him. However, since Manleavy is white, he is a “tough competitor” as opposed to an “out-of-control thug”. Let us do away with the concept of race entirely and just accept the fact that all professional athletes are thugs!…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
You have 10 seconds to give me one compelling reason that Tim Hardaway Jr. shouldn’t win the Rookie of the Year award. Time’s up. I thought so. No, “MCW has better stats” does not qualify as a compelling reason. I bet Hardaway could get some pretty sick stats too if he was given the keys…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
You aren’t gonna win many games in the NBA when your fourth quarter offense consists entirely of Austin Rivers. All 5 shots, made or assisted by the guy who was probably the worst player in the league last year. Though to be fair, he had a really good night, with some nice finishes at the…
Read MoreAmir Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
Amir Johnson, cozy in his Snuggie, was again taking part in his favorite pastime: gauging the internet’s opinion of him. After watching an expertly-edited video entitled “Amir Johnson 22 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2014)”, he scrolled down to view the comments. He smiled as a fan of his had earnestly made a comment reading, “If his…
Read MoreKenneth Faried 26 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
Kenneth “Far Out” Faried could be considered the ultimate hustle player. The only time his motor ever gets shut off is if there’s no weed around. He makes up for his lack of “traditional” offensive skills by throwing his body and hair all over the place, becoming a marijuana-scented blur on the court. In this…
Read MoreBrandon Jennings 24 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
Will Bynum approached his teammate after practice. “Hey, Brandon, wanna hit the weight room?” Brandon made a great show of being tired after the intense scrimmage. “Yo, man, I’d love to, but I’m just wiped. Maybe some other time.” “You can’t go the whole season without lifting, Brandon. Come on, just for a bit,” Will…
