https://youtu.be/FahxmEAF0AQ The man stood at the base of the mountain and looked up. It was a long way to the top. His instinct of self-preservation told him to turn around, to walk away from that mountain and never look at it again. But there was a deeper compulsion within him to conquer that mountain, to…

Ersan Ilyasova 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2019)
When you think of your personal list of players who are least likely to get a triple-double, Ersan Ilyasova should feature prominently on that list. And if you don’t have such a list ready to go in your mind, you should get to work developing one so you can pull it out for chicks and…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
18 points and 17 rebounds in only 24 minutes for Ersan Ilyasova, a dominating performance which was curtailed by the ineptitude of the Hawks (I bet they were wishing they had a beast like Ilyasova right now) and the unfortunate unwritten rules of sportsmanship which state that good players don’t get to keep playing in…

Against certain teams, replacing Giannis Antetokounmpo with Ersan Ilyasova in the lineup would have disastrous effects. The Pelicans are not one of those teams. With the MVP favorite sitting on the bench in a snazzy suit (probably taking selfies and making corny jokes too), the Bucks had no problem dispatching the Pelicans, who seemed to…

“Come on man, you can’t go to the beach looking like that.” Standing at his front door, Ersan Ilyasova shrugged. “You know, temperatures by the lakefront can be up to ten degrees colder than temperatures in the urban core. And if it is breezy, I do not want to get chilly.” Brook Lopez and Robin…

What is there even to say about Ersan Ilyasova. I’m not usually one to run short on words, but I can’t think of anything to put here. And that’s fine: this is the kind of video that needs no accompaniment. Let Ersan do the talking. Fine, I’ll try and put some stuff here. Giannis Antetokounmpo…

Ersan Ilyasova is back on the Bucks! The initial excitement has worn off for me a little bit, but it’s still great to see him back where he belongs. You may notice the “vintage” thumbnail image, evocative of the ones I was using around 2015. True DTB historians will remember that the image of Ilyasova…

Why the heck did the 76ers trade Ersan Ilyasova away in the first place? It baffled me then, it baffles me now, and it will continue to baffle me until I lay on my deathbed and take my final breath. I’ll be like “Hey nurse, why in the hecking heck did Philadelphia trade Ilyasova who…
Read MoreErsan Ilyasova 21 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2018)
Normally I would characterize Ersan Ilyasova’s 21-point outburst against his former team, the Atlanta Hawks, as a REVENGE GAME. Certainly it has all the qualities that a proper REVENGE GAME would have: it’s against a former team, and he scored a decent amount of points. But I’m getting this feeling that Ilyasova doesn’t actually harbor…

Obviously, if you’ve been watching my channel for a while, you could guess that I wanted Ersan Ilyasova to return to the Bucks after he got bought out by the Hawks. He shoots threes. That’s what the Bucks need. Simple. Plus, I think his wife is from there. So that’s two good reasons, but Philly…
