I wish someone would send me a copies of the NBA Pronunciation guides. I fear I’m pronouncing a name like Saer Sene wrong when I’m telling people how big of a bust he was. Anyway, it would help if the Wizards commentators read that thing, because they cycle through many different pronunciations before settling on…

Chris Johnson 12 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/23/2013)
Chris Johnson. Unless you are an NBA junkie or Timberwolves fan, you probably don’t know who this is. With a name like Chris Johnson you are pretty much doomed to obscurity. And not only that, but he shares his name with ANOTHER totally scrubby player who just got signed by the Grizz. So if you’re…
Read MoreNikola Pekovic 25 Points/18 Rebounds Full Highlights (1/8/2013)
Nikola Vucevic recently grabbed 29 rebounds for the Magic. Overcome by jealousy, Nikola Pekovic vowed to himself before the game against the Hawks, “I will grab 30 rebounds for glory of powerful and strong Montenegro!”. But then he got distracted by scoring 25 points and fell 12 rebounds short. Which is still good for a…

Sexy Alexey is a good role player. When he is finally reunited with fellow Euro Ricky Rubio, he will make the transformation from mere role player to Ultimate Beast of Unfathomable Balling Prowess.

If you have been on the YouTubes recently you may have seen a compilation of crazy Russian drivers. Alexey Shved had some crazy drives of his own, penetrating the porous Warrior defense at will, scoring or passing as the fancy suited him. All in all, a very nice performance by the Russkie, although not as…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 23 points vs. Warriors Full Highlights (11/16/2012)
Is there any fate more terrible than being a tweener forward in the NBA? Combo guards are sought-after commodities. Power forward/center types are valued for their versatility. But, as every NBA fan can attest to, tweener forwards just plain suck. They can’t bang with PF’s, but they’re too slow to be SF’s. Everything they do…
Read MoreAndrei Kirilenko 26 points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2012)
Drunk on vodka and hopped up on krokodil, Andrei “Russian Roulette” Kirilenko stumbles into the arena to score 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting. The bags under his eyes tell the sad story of substance dependency, love forlorn, and the uncanny ability to hit shots from anywhere on the floor. It also helps that Minnesota’s climate…
Read MoreNikola Pekovic 20 Points vs Mavs Full Highlights 11/12/2012
Nikola Pekovic burst on to the scene last season, putting up great numbers on great efficiency and grabbing tons of rebounds. So far this year he has continued his dominance, in this game scoring 20 points, dishing 3 assists and grabbing 6 boards. Unfortunately he went down with a sprained ankle in the 3rd quarter,…
