It doesn’t even matter that all of Brazil hates Nene for skipping out on his alleged “duty” to play for the national team. He’s the one who placed more importance on health than nationalism, and now he’s looking quick and springy at the grand old age of 35. Nene took good care of his body,…

Nene 28 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)
Say what you will about the questionable sequence of events that led to Nene’s 12th basket and 26th through 28th points, but the fact remains that the Thunder had let him score 25 points on 11/11 shooting prior to their endgame blunder. A team that lets a guy with gray in his beard put that…

When I sat down at my ultra high-powered highlights battlestation, preparing to make a premium Nene highlight video, I expected there to be at least five dunks. Maybe six. Because when you’re an athletic center who plays next to James Harden, you’re gonna get a lot of dunks. It’s almost to the point where you…

I know I’m not seeing things. I know I’m not making stuff up. These are real facts coming straight to you courtesy of DTB: Nene is skinnier right now than at any point during his time with the Wizards. Way skinnier. He looks CUT. He looks BUILT. He looks RIPPED. He looks SWOLE. He looks…

I really liked Nene “Graybeard” Nolastname back in his Denver days. That seems like so long ago, but at the same time, it doesn’t seem like he played for the Wizards for very long at all. You’re telling me he spent over 4 seasons there? No way. It was one or two at most, and…

Nene has always been an “only-scoring” type big man. Nowhere is his playstyle better exemplified than in this video, because all he does is hit nine of ten shots from the floor. Wizards fans have been lamenting the decline of (or perhaps the consistent nonexistence of) his defense, but you don’t get highlight videos made…

Nene AKA “The Brazilian Bruiser” did not play very well the first two games of this series, a fact that was not lost on the commentators, who felt the need to bring it up after every shot that Nene made. I suppose if I was on-air and needed something to talk about, Nene going a…

“Marcin, do you ever think about…getting old?” Marcin Gortat looked over to where Nene was studying his reflection in the mirror. “Sometimes. Why you ask?” Nene pulled at his beard and shook his head. “I’m getting gray hairs on my face, man. I’m not ready to get old. I’m not ready to die.” “I think…

Hello friends! I don’t have anything insightful to say about Nene, but you guys should do yourselves a favor and type “nene chicks” into google image search. No, you’re not going to get pictures of Nene doing indecent things with women. I would never lead you astray. What you will get is your daily dose…

Official NBA players named after birds power rankings: 1. Nene 2. Rory Sparrow 3. Robin Lopez 4. Brian Cardinal 5. Guy Sparrow 6. Robin Jones 7. Mark Crow Not a very long list, though I’m sure I missed some. And no, Larry Bird doesn’t count. Neither does Otis Birdsong. Don’t be stupid.
