Apparently Brandon Knight hadn’t ever had to run a pick-and-roll until he got to the NBA? That would explain why he’s so damn bad at it. For a team whose sole offensive strategy is “set tons of screens”, it would be useful to have a point guard who could hit bigs rolling to the basket….

Giannis Antetokounmpo 10 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (1/18/2014)
Giannis “Greece Fire” Antetokounmpo is rapidly ascending to MHP (most hyped player) status. I love his potential as much as the next guy, but I don’t want to be disappointed. There’s nothing worse than a player you love not panning out. So, for now, I’ll be cautious in my appraisal of him. Just kidding! Did…

Congratulations John Henson! You win the “Best Player on the Worst Team” award! Every awful team needs to have a player who isn’t total garbage, and you are that player! You follow in the hallowed footsteps of such luminaries as Kevin Love, Brook Lopez, and Derrick Brown! Yes, times are sad for the Milwaukee Bucks….

Brandon approached the two chattering cheerleaders as soon as the final buzzer sounded. “Hey, girls, I need a really big favor.” Sarrah and Monique looked over at the player whose made baskets they regularly celebrated during games. After exchanging a glance, Sarrah said, “Sure, Brandon, what’s up?” Brandon looked over to where Kaytee, the target…

Brandon Knight walked serenely through the snow-covered fields of southeastern Wisconsin. What better way to spend an off day than in rural, idyllic beauty? No hangers-on to bother him out here. Just him and nature. “Help me! Help me!” Brandon Knight snapped out of his reverie at the sound of someone yelling. Curious, he walked…
Read MoreLuke Ridnour 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2014)
When you think of Luke Ridnour, what associations are made in your mind? White? Unathletic? Veteran leadership? Pure shooter? Goofy face? Those would all be correct associations to make, but when I think about Luke Ridnour, there is one thing that immediately springs to mind: Idaho. This northwestern US state, home to 1.5 million people,…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2014)
“Come on Brandon, get going, we gotta play,” O.J. Mayo said, stopping to look at his teammate, who had halted in the door frame. “Dude, I can’t go out there. Kaytee’s gonna be courtside. I can’t let her see me,” Brandon responded in a somewhat panicked voice. “There’s gotta be some other way to get…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 10 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/2/2014)
I’ve seen a lot of comparisons for Giannis Antetokounmpo strewn across the internet. Some of them are worse than others; all of them are hilariously optimistic. Kevin Durant. They have the same body, but Kevin Durant’s jumper is a finely tuned machine. Giannis’ jumper looks like how he looks: a mess of flailing arms. Dirk…
Read MoreLarry Sanders 16 Points Full Highlights (1/2/2014)
Forgive me if you’ve heard this before. Talented young player balls hard and earns himself a nice big contract. Starts off the next year pretty poorly before getting into a bar fight with a bunch of Albanians and injuring his hand. Fans start to concoct homerish one-sided trade ideas. Maybe you haven’t heard the part…

Giannis awoke to a pounding headache. Realizing that he was lying on some kind of hard surface, he kept his eyes closed, knowing that wherever he was, it wasn’t good. He cast his mind back in time, attempting to remember the last thing his waking body had done. The details were fuzzy: Caron cajoling him…
