Furkan “Kork and Ball Torture” Korkmaz is still leading the Sixers in total made three-pointers and it’s not even that close really. He’s got 28 hits from the deepzone this season, while Josh Richardson, the next player on the list, only has twenty. Korkmaz should definitely be commended for coming into the season ready to…

It’s looking to me like the 76ers entered the season without enough shooting. They looked at the players they had and thought to themselves “lots of these dudes can shoot threes, so I think we’re good in that area”. Which is true. Most of the players they have CAN shoot threes, everyone’s attempted some except…

Furkan Korkmaz’ game-winner from a few days ago is up there with Sundiata Gaines’ as the least expected in recent NBA history. The 76ers are loaded with offensive talent, and the game-sealing shot is hit by a little-used bench dude who doesn’t even get to use the nickname “The Motherfurker” because Furkan Aldemir got there…

A lot has been made of the 76ers “supposed” (I put the word “supposed” in quotes to indicate my doubt) lack of shooting. But here’s the deal: if you don’t look very closely, Furkan Korkmaz looks enough like J.J. Redick to be a passable imitation. The 76ers can use that to their advantage. Redick may…

Furkan “Chuckan Statpadmaz” Korkmaz lived up to his nickname by chucking a bunch of balls into a bunch of hoops (well, just one hoop) in the very end of garbage time against the Wizards, pushing his total from a blah and uninteresting 7 to an exciting and noteworthy 16. He only needed 50 seconds to…

Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Korverkmaz” “The Turk Furk” Korkmaz isn’t even shooting above 40% from the field this season. I just found this out and it’s like a total betrayal for me. I guess I made too many highlights of this guy and assumed that he was as good as his highlight videos made him out…

Attention Turkish people: what happened to Izzet Turkyilmaz? I need answers, because I was hyped for that goofy-looking stick-figure really bad. Such a great name, and also a great game. He could shoot threes, I remember, and he was tall. And he did some stuff in Summer League for the Nuggets one year and then…

Two 18-point games for Furkan Korkmaz in a row. This is an onslaught the likes of we have never before seen from The Motherfurker (ignoring, as usual, his nuts Summer League game because that wasn’t the real NBA). He’s gone from racking up DNPs to playing decent minutes to playing decent minutes and scoring 18…

Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Turkish Delight” “Korverkmaz” “Furky Town” Korkmaz has probably retracted his trade request by now. I don’t think it was ever really confirmed in the first place, but assuming he did actually make it, he’s got to realize that his circumstances have changed dramatically for the better since then. He’s getting to play…

Furkan “The Motherfurker” “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz seems to be doing okay after reportedly demanding a trade a month ago. He’s still on the 76ers, I haven’t heard any other murmurings of discontent, and now he’s even getting to play minutes! And not just the garbagey ones. Real ones. Sometimes. Not all the time, but more than…
