The last time Cole Aldrich started a game for the Clippers, he was playing with Chris Paul and it was a dunk festival (colloquially known as a “dunkfest”). I say “last time” loosely because I’m looking at his game log and it turns out he started a game in late March. Forget about the game….

Cole Aldrich 19 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2016)
Cole Aldrich is the answer to the eternal question of “What would you get if you took Greg Stiemsma and made him better at basketball but not too much better?”. There are other questions that he is also the answer to; but none of those questions are as profound as this one. On an unrelated…

That’s it. DeAndre Jordan’s 360-game streak ends thanks to a made-up non-disease called “pneumonia”. I just looked it up and it doesn’t exist. There’s probably some deeper conspiracy going on here, but honestly, I got tired of doing investigative reporting after I found out some stuff about Andrea Bargnani and pasta smuggling rings. Don’t ask….

It’s that time of year again! The regular season is drawing to a close, and bad teams are giving their scrubs unearned minutes, with predictable results. That’s right: career highs for everybody! The Knicks have actually been in this stage of the season for a long time now. Not for the whole season, but for…

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,…

Attention Kansas Jayhawks fans: How quickly you have given up on Cole Aldrich! After four seasons of not doing much at all in the league, your attentions became focused on other Kansas players who you thought would excel in the NBA: Ben McLemore, Thomas Robinson, one Andrew Wiggins, and many more. You remember fondly the…

Cole Aldrich isn’t good at many things, so, in order to portray him in a positive manner, I have invented a stat which he can lead the league in: Shoulder Width/Head Size Ratio. Just look at those shoulders. Did he have a plastic surgeon stick in some silicone shoulder implants? With those babies he could…

Longtime connoisseurs of these descriptions might notice some differences from when I started. Namely, that I don’t call people busts all the time anymore. I must be getting old and soft. It used to be that no player was spared the wrath of my scepter of bustitude. John Wall? Bust. Markieff Morris? Bust. Tristan Thompson,…

At the end of last year I made some Cole Aldrich highlights where he got a career high in points, rebounds and blocks. Guess what. He did it again! Cole Aldrich is officially a member of DownToBuck’s “End of the Year All-Star Team”. He sucks (or rather, doesn’t get any minutes) for the entire year,…
