https://youtu.be/zdo471TB1hQ Furkan “The Motherfurker” Korkmaz started off this season a bit slowly, causing Sixers fans to wonder what had gone wrong with him. After playing a sizable bench role for them last season, it seemed like he was no longer suitable for that role. However, since March, the quality of Korkmaz’s play has improved, and…

Furkan Korkmaz 21 Points Full Highlights (8/12/2020)
While painstakingly crafting the thumbnail image for this video (a laborious process which sometimes takes up to 45 seconds), I noticed something: Furkan Korkmaz looks like a cartoon character. With his comically large hairdo which borders on caricature, his larger-than-average eyes, his strange lack of teeth, his pointed face, his dopy expression, and his picture-perfect…

Like Carlos Delfino before him, Furkan Korkmaz will forever be the guy who randomly dropped 30-plus points in two consecutive games. In fact, if you squint your eyes really tight and mess with the color calibration on your basketball-viewing device, you can totally pretend that Delfino is reincarnated on the 76ers but with a midrange…

Furkan “Klaykmaz” Korkmaz is breaking out right in front of our eyes. Elton Brand and the Sixers front office were obsessed with acquiring more shooters at the trade deadline, but maybe their obsession wouldn’t have been so obsessive if they had realized exactly what they had with Korkmaz: a lights-out shooter who can give you…

Furkan Korkmaz groggily opened his eyes, but the light was too bright, and he immediately closed them before he could get a good look at his surroundings. The last he could remember, him and his teammates had been en route to a nightclub to celebrate their win and his new career high in points…was this…

Furkan Korkmaz scoring the pleasant-but-not-really-mind-blowing amount of seventeen points is starting to become a crisis. This is the fifth time this season he’s scored exactly seventeen, and he’s only scored more than that three times. I know he’s not doing it on purpose, but it really feels like he’s making a specific and coordinated effort…

Furkan “The Korkmaster” Korkmaz had a stretch near the beginning of the season where he was pretty good, then he had an extended stretch where he was cheeks, and now he’s starting up another run of decent play. Last game he had 24 (27 if the refs hadn’t unfairly taken away the three-pointer he made…

Furkan “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz, if the universe were fair and just, should have had 27 points in this game (which would have been even career-highier than this), but the refs, once again showing the gross incompetence that has made them a laughingstock all across the world, took one of his three-pointers away. I figure the 76ers…

When the unexpected light appears in my bedroom, I open my eyes expecting to have to scold my kitty Japurri Purrker for turning on the lightswitch, as he is prone to doing in the middle of the night. But the light filling the room does not have its source in the lightbulb above my head….

After getting 25 MPG per game in the month of November, Furkan “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz saw his minutes drop down to 15 per game in the month of December. We can blame this directly on Josh Richardson’s return from injury, but “blame” is only the right term to use if you’re exclusively a fan of Korkmaz…
