Mike James recently became the first graduate of the NBA’s new two-way contract system. His allotted 45 days in the big-boy league were coming due, and the Suns had to either make room for him on their real roster or leave him to rot in the D-League for the rest of the season (I hope…

I got kinda mad while making this vid, and I almost sabotaged by splicing the audio of that new Suns commentator guy saying “Proud to own the three-point zone! Fulton Homes donates one-hundred dollars to Suns charities” over the entire thing. No actual commentary (although that was in short supply anyway), just that stupid promotional…

Mike James is continuing the proud tradition of chucker Suns point guards. Ever since Steve Nash left, the Suns have churned through a series of point guards who can score, but not really pass, and Mike James is just the latest in the trend.

If things keep going the way they’ve been going, I’m going to end up doing more vids for Mike James than almost any other player this year. Right now he’s in second place behind Ben Simmons, and unlike that dude, it’s not likely that he graduates from this channel by being too good. So he…

Growing pains are expected with…

Things just keep getting better for Mike James. He opens his career as a totally unknown end-of-bench player and notches three straight double-digit scoring games, his minutes increasing each time. Then, he manages to get a coach fired and seize even more minutes. With those minutes, he flashes unseen playmaking ability as well as crafty…

If Tyler Ulis doesn’t watch out, Mike James will take the title of “best midget point guard on the Suns” for himself. After scoring twelve points in ten minutes in the Suns’ disastrous opener, he was rewarded with 12 additional minutes of action, and scored exactly one more point. This is something called “progress”; you,…

Note for fans of scrubs: this is not the same Mike James that once scored 20 points per game for the Raptors even though he sucked. The thumbnail should have made that clear, but just letting you all know. I don’t know much about this particular Mike “LeBron” James. He’s old, that’s what I know….
