I truly thought that Leandro Barbosa was done in the NBA after he tore his ACL with the Celtics. He hadn’t looked very good that season, and an injury of that magnitude for a marginal player usually spells “EUROPE” or “CHINA”. He managed to come back the next season, though, with the Suns. How he…

Leandro Barbosa 18 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Hey, guess what everybody! I just got off the phone with Steve Nash, and he said he’s totally down to come back to the NBA! I know, I couldn’t believe it either! We were just chatting, and I mentioned that Leandro Barbosa was back on the Suns, and he was like “You know, I could…

This is now the third separate stint for Leandro Barbosa on the Suns. What is it about that organization that they are so desperately nostalgic for players that were around during their glory years in the mid 00’s? They also went out and got Jared Dudley so they could pretend that everything was the same…

Yeah, I know I said that I wouldn’t make any videos shorter than a minute long anymore. I didn’t even just say it, I PROMISED it. You don’t need to remind me. I know what I say and don’t say. And it’s not like I’m not regretful or anything. Because I am. I definitely am….

Since the current up-and-coming generation of Brazilian ballers isn’t quite ready yet, we have to count on old standbys like Leandro Barbosa, Anderson Varejao, and Tiago Splitter to carry the load until the young’uns are ready to get the torch passed to them. All those guys are in their 30’s, but there’s not much you…

Now is a good time to remember that Leandro Barbosa was once actually one of the NBA’s premier three-point shooters. It was almost a decade ago, but just because something happened a long time ago doesn’t mean we shouldn’t remember it. That’s what my history teacher told me. He was talking about the Native American…

In remembrance I reflect upon what has passed, the waves of time crashing ceaselessly into my fragile body: Shawn Marion – Shamelessly ringchasing Raja Bell – Long expired Amar’e Stoudemire – Knees are man’s most precious commodity Leandro Barbosa – Composing his swansong Boris Diaw – Surveying his fallen comrades James Jones – Shamelessly ringchasing…

Does Leandro Barbosa not totally look like Charles Barkley? He totally does. Just look at the thumbnail: it’s like I’m watching Inside the NBA and he and Kenny are sniping at each other and Shaq is just sitting there being awkward. Anyway, yeah, Leandro Barbosa. He can still score the rock a bit, and he…

“Who’s gonna be that third scorer?” The Warrior’s announcer dude poses a salient question. After Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, is there anyone who the Warriors can count on for reliable pointage? There are a few possibilities. David Lee – Averaged 20 points a couple years ago. Is there any reason why he couldn’t do…

I was not really expecting to do Leandro Barbosa highlights this year. Banished to the hinterlands of Brazil, I figured him to be gone from the NBA for good. But the Suns apparently wanted to bring back good memories from the past in replacing Eric Bledsoe. I must say, Leandro looks pretty good attacking the…
