Kent “Bazed God” Bazemore kinda looked like a beast-in-the-making during his short stint with the Lakers last year. He had a bit of a turnover problem, but he scored well on good percentages. When he signed with Atlanta, I knew that we would be waiting a while to see a re-emergence of that potential, given…

Al Horford Triple Double 21 pts/10 asts/10 rebs Full Highlights (1/13/2015)
The NBA has done us all a great disservice. This is not a triple-double. The box score may say it is. The title of the video itself may say it is. Ask Dominique Wilkins, and he’ll say that it is. Adam Silver is likely phoning Al Horford himself to congratulate him on this “achievement”. How…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2015)
Kyle Korver has fallen out of the 50-40-90 club, everyone’s favorite arbitrary creation to showcase that Larry Bird really was one of the best of all time for real guys I’m serious. Actually, maybe the Korveman is back in it now after this good shooting performance, I’m too lazy to calculate it. Fine. Okay, I’m…
Read MorePero Antic 13 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Fans of Macedonian basketball are surely saddened by the lack of playing time for their country’s sole NBA representative, Pero Antic. There’s not much to be done about it. Al Horford is finally healthy again, and he’s getting the bulk of the minutes at center, as he should. Last year’s “everyone in the starting lineup…
Read MoreKyle Korver 19 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2014)
The moniker “Spurs of the East” is tired and lame. Nobody wants to hear that lame stuff anymore. I have devised a new, bold moniker for the Hawks that perfectly encompasses the teamwork and ball movement that make up their system: “Hawksketball”. Stop laughing. You’re stupid. This is a good idea, and when I start…
Read MorePaul Millsap 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)
The mood in the locker room was subdued; most of the Hawks players were silently contemplating their own role in the blowout loss they had just suffered against the Bucks. However, the always upbeat Kent Bazemore was chatting to Paul Millsap about his good performance. “You did great out there, Paul. Just bring it again…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2014)
Is it just me or does DeMarre Carroll kind of look like that guy on the cover of “Exmilitary” by Death Grips? His hair is different, but he’s got the same homeless dude’s beard and wrinkly face. I don’t know if musically he sounds like “Exmilitary” though, or like any of their other albums. The…
Read MoreDennis Schröder Career High 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
Dirk Nowitzki reclined lazily on the couch. Surrounding him, adoring him, were a hand-picked sampling of Germany’s finest frauleins. A few male friends were also there, hoping to gain some residual coolness by their proximity to him. The other males in the club looked on jealously; they were no match for the suavity and wealth…
Read MorePero Antic 11 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2014)
The common thread connecting all my Pero Antic videos, other than featuring Pero Antic (which is obvious), is that the comment section invariably degenerates into Macedonians (“Monkey-donians”) and Greeks (“Gay-reeks”) arguing about whether Macedonia/FYROM should be called Macedonia, which is also a region in Greece, or FYROM. I know it’s futile, but I’d like to…
Read MoreShelvin Mack Career High 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/17/2014)
Uh. Damn. The Hawks just smashed the Cavs. Hard. Hard smashing was the name of the game tonight. Right in the face. Atlanta must be really good this year or something. Doesn’t make sense at first glance. They don’t have a superstar, or even a sure-fire All-Star. Their biggest name is maybe Al Horford? I’ve…
