When you think of Luke Ridnour, what associations are made in your mind? White? Unathletic? Veteran leadership? Pure shooter? Goofy face? Those would all be correct associations to make, but when I think about Luke Ridnour, there is one thing that immediately springs to mind: Idaho. This northwestern US state, home to 1.5 million people,…
Read MoreGerald Henderson 30 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2014)
Gerald Henderson is a good scorer. What remains to be seen, however, is if he can contribute to a winning team. The last (and only) time the Bobcats were good was the 09-10 season, when Hendo was a rookie getting 8 MPG. Now that he is seemingly one of the building blocks for the Bobcats-soon-to-be-Hornets…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 25 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2014)
Working intently with his fellow five-year-olds, Avery colored in his drawing. It was a badass rendition of Michael Jordan with his championship trophies. “Avery, can I have the box of crayons? I need the red.” asked his classmate Alex. “I’m not done with the red. You can have it when I’m done,” Avery answered, not…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 18 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2014)
The Nuggets have been tearing it up lately. Annihilating people on offense, not playing defense but who cares, and playing good team basketball. Everyone is contributing. Even Quincy Miller is contributing. I can only imagine the good vibes happening in the locker room. No, not like that. Evan Fournier’s recent upswing in play has coincided…
Read MoreKevin Seraphin 18 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2014)
Strange night in Washington DC. Through two rain delays (typical DC infrastructure), the Rockets managed to gain a 25 point lead, which they then promptly gave up in the face of the apparently unstoppable Kevin Seraphin. The Wizards went up by 5, and then decided it was their turn to stop scoring entirely, and ended…
Read MoreAnthony Davis 21 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (1/10/2014)
I’ve noticed, the last few times I’ve made Anthony Davis highlights, that he gets credit for a lot of dubious blocks. I mean, I wouldn’t consider a three point attempt that solidly hits rim “blocked”. And he never seems to really reject shots. They are barely tipped, if anything. Not to say that Anthony Davis…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/10/2014)
“Hey, somebody should go find Derrick,” DeMarcus Cousins announced. “He’s not responding my texts, but he’s always down for some clubbing, and we shouldn’t go without him.” Rudy Gay stood up. “I can look around for him. This arena’s not that big, there’s not many places where he could reasonably be.” ———————————– “Derrick! Derrick!” Rudy…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/10/2013)
Austin Rivers is a bust all the way around. There is no skirting around the issue: kid just flat out sucks. But…BUT!…he has shown improvement, so there is still hope that he can make a career for himself in the NBA rather than being deported to Elbonia to play basketball with a bunch of hut-dwelling…
Read MoreNikola Pekovic 26 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2014)
Yao Ming got tons of votes for the All-Star game even when he was injured. You all know the reason. Nationalism! The Chinese citizenry stuffed the ballot box for him. So why can’t Montenegrins do the same for Nikola Pekovic? Are they not nationalistic enough? Knowing what I now know about that general region of…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/10/2014)
Remember The Decision part Deux? It was like LeBron/ESPN’s decision to go to Miami except it was Anthony Tolliver and a webcam and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fun times. But no one is criticizing Tolliver for leaving Minnesota, like they would if James left Miami. In fact, no one notices when he does anything, because he…
