We can put to rest (temporarily, at least) the notion of Giannis Antetokounmpo being a point guard. 10 assists in 8 games is a little low for a guy who is supposed to distribute, even if he is focused on scoring right now. And of those 10, a fair portion are OJ Mayo thinking “If…

Jabari Parker 13 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2014)
Like many rookies, Bustbari Porker has struggled out of the starting gate this season. To further the horse racing metaphor, he isn’t being whipped hard enough by his jockey, Jason Kidd. Parker’s scoring will come around, eventually. His last two games have seen him choose his spots better, and he’s been dunking everything he can…

In a famous tweet, Giannis summed up his first experience of smoothies thus: “I just taste for the first time a smothie..MAN GOD BLESS AMERICA????” What were his reactions to other firsts? Tacos: “I just taste for the first time a tako…MAN GOD BLESS MEXICO????” Bratwurst: “Wisconsin people like brat sousages, so I try…I think…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 9 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2014)
You know what’s happening right now? I’m watching basketball. Why does the NBA torment me with midday weekend basketball during prime highlight making time? They know I won’t be able to the resist the allure of a Blazers-Clippers matchup. Damn, Lillard just hit a DEEP three. Anyway, yeah, Giannis has been pretty good this year….

Someone obviously told Jabari that he only had one total assist coming into last night’s game. Not his fault, he’s a designated scorer on a team that needs it. Hard to pass when you can get a decent shot any time you want. Anyway, it was obvious because Jabari had an easy layup on a…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 11 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Turn on your mental machinery, ever rusted by the passing of time, and cast your mind all the way back to Giannis’ first preseason game with the Bucks. Or you could just watch the highlights to remind yourself. Either way, you will see a fadeaway stepback jumper in the manner of one Dirk Nowitzki being…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 8 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2014)
You know, for being the future of a whole basketball franchise, Giannis Antetokounmpo sure doesn’t score many points. Him and Jabari need to step it up quickly or I’m gonna lose interest and have to choose a new favorite team (and avatar). Yes, I know that Giannis provides lots of other things that aren’t scoring….
Read MoreO.J. Mayo 25 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/31/2014)
Walking the quiet, midnight streets of Milwaukee, O.J. Mayo took his time, relishing the peacefulness after an exhausting, yet exhilarating, win. Scoring 25 points was so much better than game after game of DNP’s as he had experienced the previous season. He soon approached the McDonald’s that was on his route. Intending to walk by…

Jabari Parker gave out handfuls of candy to all trick-or-treaters who came to his door yesterday. Inspired by his heartless actions, I undertook a similar policy for all the costume-clad kiddies who showed up at my place for Halloween. However, instead of candy, I handed out dollops of my hard-won basketball knowledge, because I can’t…
Read MoreJabari Parker 8 Points Bucks Debut Full Highlights (10/29/2014)
Jabari is standing at the podium, ready to give his hall-of-fame inductance speech. In his mind he looks back fondly on one game in particular, the first game of his championship-ring adorned career, against the Hornets. They may have lost that night, but who is the real winner now? Looking over the assorted luminaries present,…
