I want to see Robert “English Nobility” Covington play in a good situation. That’s what I want to see. Right now he is probably a bottom-five starting SF in the league (Alonzo Gee is definitely worse at least), but that’s more due to the garbage that surrounds him than due to any fault of his…

In any NBA season where Stephen Curry was not a participant, 7 threes would be a notable occurence. People would get excited for it, and people would consider the player who hit so many threes to be one of the premiere shooters in the league. But in an NBA season where Stephen Curry IS a…

Robert Covington may be long gone from the Rockets (they could use him now I bet), but remnants of their teachings still remain. In this game he exemplifies their offensive strategy perfectly: shoot a lot of threes and draw a lot of fouls. James Harden, get out your notebook. Covington got off to a fast…

Story of the 76ers season: at the end of tonight’s game against the Rockets the commentator says “Another heartbreaking loss!” as the camera cuts to a shot of a smirking Isaiah Canaan. Not so heartbreaking, is it? Really makes one think… Alright, I’m done with the conspiracy theories. Lets talk about the concrete, the observable,…

Adam Silver paced behind his desk, running his hands over his head, as if wanting to pull at hair that wasn’t there. An assortment of high-ranking NBA executives sat nervously before him, waiting for the silence to be broken. “Thirteen games. Thirteen games last night,” Silver said in an emotionless, monotone voice. He had stopped…

Robert Covington sat down next to his Cameroonian teammate. “Luc, we need to have a chat.” The look of alarm in Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s face was not well-hidden. “Yeah, sure. What’s on your mind?” “You can’t keep giving bad sexual advice to these rookies, man. They don’t know any better. They trust you.”…

Robert Covington: the only good offensive player on the 76ers? You might be able to argue Michael Carter-Williams. Other than him, there is no one else who can actually put the orange into the actual bucket. Philadelphia’s roster constructions looks worse for not having Embiid and Saric this year, but it is still horrible. Covington…

If you go back to my first Robert Covington vid this year, you will see how excited I was to finally be able to compile highlights of him. That excitement is gone now. He’s proven himself to be a pretty good scorer, especially for a team as flawed as the 76ers. That’s great. I’m happy…
