Robbie Hummel 15 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2015)
Crystal white like the Minnesota snows Why he’s in the league, nobody knows Hey, let’s run him at point guard If Zach can do it, it’s not that hard Making defenses pay with his shooting His hype train rolls along a-tooting Signed to the team because of his skin pigment His ability to jump is…

Read MoreAndrea Bargnani 23 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2013)
Bargnani sat down heavily at his desk. He was exhausted, not by the physical exertion of practice, but by the prose aching to be released from his body. Pulling to him a feather pen and a piece of stationery, he wrote: “As stars shine in the night above It is only you I think of,…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 17 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (4/1/2013)
One of the many perks of being an NBA highlight compiler is the vast network of undercover operatives at my disposal. I tasked some of my Slovenian mafioso contacts to raid Beno Udrih’s childhood home and furnish me with any items of interest. The only things they got were a Michael Jordan poster and a…
