Chris Andersen is 36 years old, in his 13th NBA season. I’ll be the first to say it: that ish cray. How does a role player (an ECCENTRIC role player, no less) like him stick around for so long? Is it because of his defense? Not out of the question, though how good could a…
Read MoreBen McLemore 27 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2015)
Ben “Easy Mac” McLemore is the same player he was his rookie year. Just way better. Well, maybe not “way” better. He’s improved, definitely, though he’s still not as good as he can probably be. It just goes to show, even the biggest bustiest scrubbiest rookie can turn things part-way around just by the natural…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 24 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
“Hey Greg, whatcha workin’ on?” “AAAH!” Greg yelped. “Oh, it’s just you, Spencer. Could you please sneak up on me quieter next time? That heart attack you just gave me wasn’t quite life-ending enough.” After this sarcastic remark, he returned to his drawings. Spencer Dinwiddie shrugged. “Whatever. I just wanted to see what you were…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
I just couldn’t do it, friends. With only five made baskets and no replays, I knew that making this video a minute long would require a Herculean effort. In the end, the strength was not within me, and I barely staggered over the 50-second threshold. I want to apologize directly to my brothers and sisters…
Read MoreTarik Black 10 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
Tarik Black is a special type of player known as a “fan favorite”. Usually a player designated as such is lacking in skin pigmentation and not very good; Tarik, as evidenced by his last name, actually has plentiful melanin in his skin, but excels enough at the not very good part to make up for…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 29 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
I’m done screwing around. I still have a bunch of these “Flavors of Favors” cookbooks sitting around. It’s not a question of if or when you guys are going to buy them. I’m just telling you straight up: you guys are going to buy them. Now. I’ve said it before, but I think it bears…
Read MoreCole Aldrich 17 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
Cole “Aldrich Horror” Aldrich is an odd case. Taken 11th overall in 2010, he has bounced around the league, never making much of an impact. There’s a word for people who were drafted high but then turned out to not be very impactful basketball players. I can’t use the term, though, because if I do,…
Read MoreRodney Hood 17 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
I’m a blank slate when it comes to Rodney Hood. I have no opinion of him either way. In fact, I think I may have exceeded my total opinion quota, rendering it impossible to form new opinions until I have gotten rid of some old ones. Until that happens, we’re going to have to go…
Read MoreRodney Stuckey 34 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2015)
Rodney Stuckey gazed out the window. He knew he could never return. Resting his head against the glass, he remembered all the good times that he had experienced. It seemed like a past life, now, though it had only been 15 minutes since his departure. All those accomplishments. All those friends… Overcome by emotion, he…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 25 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/9/2015)
The big question of Michael Carter-Williams’ career up to now: was he bad because of his horrible situation or was he in a horrible situation made worse because of his badness? We are closer to figuring out the answer, now that he has been traded to a non-dumpster-fire Bucks team. The early returns on our…
