The Rockets are so screwed. Losing to the Mavericks isn’t so bad on the face of it, but this isn’t any old Mavericks team. This is a Mavericks team with Dirk taken out and Charlie Villanueva put in his place! Say what you will about Dirk being old and not all that good, but anything…

Charlie Villanueva 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/9/2015)
Is Charlie Villanueva the most redundant player ever? He is essentially a version of Dirk that does all the same things, but worse. On the surface this sounds great, because the Mavs could essentially play Dirk all the time, it’s just that for fifteen minutes of that time, it’s a Dirk who doesn’t eat right,…

It is always surprising to see how much of a chucker Charlie Villanueva really is. You might think that a bench player who is not guaranteed minutes would be a little more cautious. Coaches love a team-player, in theory. There’s always the possibility that he Charlie truly thinks that his shot shooting ability is for…

The odds of Charlie Villanueva making a roster this year were, according to my computations, approximately zero percent. When even Detroit doesn’t play you, you know you have problems. There are general negative reactions around the league to poor-defense chuckers. Villanueva takes both aspects to their extremes. He shoots like a madman at all times,…

I remember, about a month or so back, when the Pistons won a few games in a row on the strength of their bench. Their fans were all excited, talking about this new “bench mob” that they had, and even talked about what they had to do if they wanted to get the 8th seed….

Remember when Charlie Villanueva went crazy and chased Ryan Hollins all through the hallways of the Palace? I don’t even remember what Hollins did. Probably called him a cancer patient or something. Anyway, if my recollection is correct, Villanueva eventually cornered Hollins in the visitor’s locker room and slapped him in the nads, all while…

Before the season started I created a list (available upon request) of players (including nicknames) ranked by how likely it was that I make highlights of them. Every NBA player. And there right at the very bottom: 414. Charlie “Cancer Patient” Villanueva So here you are, gazing in bewilderment at the video title, wondering what…
