MarShon Brooks is one of those players who grew up worshiping at the altar of Kobe Bryant. A member of the new generation who eschew Jordan fanaticism in favor of a guy with a fro. But if you model your game after Kobe, and aren’t as talented as he was, things aren’t going to be…

Jordan Farmar Career High 30 Points/7 Assists/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/28/2014)
Games like this remind me why I wish more teams would run and gun instead of being patient and playing defense. I don’t want to see good fundamental play. I want to see blurs in colored uniforms spamming threes without conscience. There’s a reason I never watch the Bulls or Pacers and am always excited…

I have adapted Lil B’s “I Think I’m Based God” to have lyrics more appropriate to this video. Thank you Based God for laying down these dope rhymes. Beat not included. If you must, use the sound of sneakers squeaking on the hardwood to guide your flow. I think I’m Bazed God Oh-my-god swag everywhere,…
Read MoreMarShon Brooks 14 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2014)
“Thanks for coming in. We just wanted to ask you a couple of questions before we welcome you to the Lakers organization.” Mitch Kupchak sat behind the desk in his expansive office. Next to him on both sides were various cronies and front-office workers. MarShon Brooks, in his best interview suit, awaited the first question….
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2014)
Kent Bazemore is the luckiest guy on Earth. Well, maybe not the luckiest. I’m using an advanced literary device called “hyperbole”. Obviously there are lots of people who are luckier. Like lottery winners and people with big muscles. Anyway, Kent Bazemore is one fortuitous dude. He was getting almost no time with the Warriors, and…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2014)
The Lakers are the perfect team for a young wing looking for some pressure-free minutes. Pressure-free except for Kobe sitting on the bench silently judging every move, plus the bonus extra judgment he reserves for people who share his initials. But other than that, it’s smooth sailing. No expectations of winning or anything, and D’Antoni…
Read MoreKent Bazemore Career High 15 Points/4 Assists/1 Lakers Debut Full Highlights (2/21/2014)
Kent “Bazed God” Bazemore seems to be enjoying the change of scenery in LA, scoring a career-high fifteen points in his first outing donning the Lakers’ purple and gold. A Steve Blake for Bazed God/Mar$wag Brooks trade, on the surface, doesn’t seem to be a trade that affects either team’s destiny too much, but a…
Read MoreWes Johnson 24 Points Full Highlights (2/19/2014)
Wes Johnson entered the club with one purpose in mind: to locate a suitable honey and take her back to his place. Navigating through the crowds of partiers, he first went to the bar to get some liquid confidence in his system. A short time later, he was on the prowl. It didn’t take him…
Read MoreKendall Marshall 14 Points/17 Assists Full Highlights (2/13/2014)
I don’t know how he does it. The Lakers current lineup is 100 percent unfiltered sewer matter and Kendall Marshall still manages to wring 17 assists out of it. He must be one of the best passers of our generation. Or maybe he told his teammates to just shoot it as soon as he passed…
Read MoreWes Johnson 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/13/2014)
In the midst of a career year, Wes Johnson is slowly improving his game to the point where he might not be as big a bust as I thought. In a theoretical scenario where Wes is able to maintain his current production and efficiency numbers over the course of several years, he would not be…
