Josh Smith 25 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2014)

I sit at my computer, mouth agape, lost for words. Josh Smith, at the free throw line (0:30), clanks one badly off the back rim…but I look at the box score, and it reads “Smith Free Throw 1 of 2 (4 PTS)”. How could it be? The ball did not go through the hoop, therefore…

Chris Bosh 25 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/18/2014)

One of the common online tropes for Chris Bosh is that he is secretly a dinosaur. Posting pictures of NBA players as kids? Here’s a picture of that raptor-hatching scene from Jurassic Park. Talking about the oldest players ever to play professionally? Bring up the fact that Chris Bosh is 65 million years old. These…

Brandon Knight 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2014)

Brandon approached the two chattering cheerleaders as soon as the final buzzer sounded. “Hey, girls, I need a really big favor.” Sarrah and Monique looked over at the player whose made baskets they regularly celebrated during games. After exchanging a glance, Sarrah said, “Sure, Brandon, what’s up?” Brandon looked over to where Kaytee, the target…

Bradley Beal 21 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2014)

Bradley Beal heard a knock at his door. He looked up from the letter he was penning in surprise. “Who could my visitor be? I am not anticipating the company of any of my friends. Perhaps it is that beggar Vesely, beseeching me for scraps from my table. What a detestable fellow that man is.”…

Brandon Knight 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2014)

“Come on Brandon, get going, we gotta play,” O.J. Mayo said, stopping to look at his teammate, who had halted in the door frame. “Dude, I can’t go out there. Kaytee’s gonna be courtside. I can’t let her see me,” Brandon responded in a somewhat panicked voice. “There’s gotta be some other way to get…

Terrence Jones 20 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/26/2013)

“What about you, Terrence? What did you get for Christmas?” Hesitating, Terrence Jones didn’t know how to respond. All of his teammates were swapping notes over their new PS4’s. But he hadn’t gotten a PS4. He had gotten an Xbox One, even though he had confirmed in writing on his wish list that he wanted…

Brandon Knight Career High 36 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/18/2013)

Brandon Knight hacked his way through the dense growth of the jungle floor. Slashing with all of his might, his machete cut a path straight through the brush, enabling his feet to tread a path that no human had tread for, perhaps, centuries. Finally, pushing aside two large palm fronds, he was upon his goal:…

Markieff Morris 25 Points Full Highlights (12/6/2013)

The PA guy’s voice boomed: “Markieff Morris, entering the game for Channing Frye.” Markieff, still sitting on the bench, could hardly contain his laughter as he watched his brother go in his place. None of his teammates knew, nor his coaches. But they would know soon if he couldn’t get his giggling under control. As…

Brandon Knight 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/30/2013)

In the darkness of his bedroom, Brandon Knight furtively scrolled through her pictures on Facebook. Stopping on each one, he scanned the screen carefully, his eye stopping wherever a bit of exposed flesh, however small, was visible. On occasion, he got a tantalizing view of cleavage, or even better, a full shot of her seemingly-infinite…

Channing Frye 25 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2013)

The klaxons went off without warning, startling Channing out of his cryo-sleep. The computer’s voice, usually a pleasant female tone, now bellowed in the manner of a drill sergeant: “CODE ORANGE! CODE ORANGE! ALIENS ABOARD THE SHIP! ALL PERSONNEL TO REPORT TO CENTRAL BAY FOR INSTRUCTIONS! CODE ORANGE! CODE ORANGE!” If Channing hadn’t already been…
