Starting out, I don’t think Shabazz Muhammad quite realized how porous the Pelicans’ defense was going to be. He begins his assault with his famous lefty push-shot in the lane, then follows it up with a triple. Then, realizing that he can do whatever he wants on the court, the floodgates open, and he lays…

Shabazz Muhammad Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
Shabazz Muhammad heard his doorbell ring. Hustling to see who it was, he opened the door only to see a UPS driver walking back to the familiar brown truck parked on the street. Looking down on the porch, there was a medium-sized cardboard box. This surprised Shabazz, since he had not ordered anything online recently…

The pacing of this video is so screwed up that I honestly can’t even recommend that you watch it. That’s right: I’m uploading this video despite being unconvinced of its watchability. The reason? The entire second half of the video is free throws. Free throws and a goaltended shot. It’s not my fault though. I’m…

This is like a Shabazz Muhammad throwback video right here. I don’t know if you can technically have a “throwback” to something that was only two years ago but if you can, this video qualifies. Much of this video is The Bazzed God turning to his old standby move, the lefty hook from eight to…

The Timberwolves’ young core gets talked about a lot in NBA circles. Wiggins, Towns, Rubio. A big three that will take Minnesota to the promised land or at least make for some fun viewing for a few years until the team is dismantled. But no one ever includes the fourth piece of the championship puzzle,…

Count me among those who thought that Shabazz Muhammad was going to be a bust when he came into the league with only one move, a lefty hook from ten feet. This was after he didn’t even win the NCAA tournament while at UCLA and after he had like ten hookers in his room at…

The snow fell outside the window of the high-rise apartment. A dismal gray sky dulled the colors of the world. Shabazz Muhammad stared at these things and felt the loneliness grip his heart. He glanced over at his iPhone, wondering if he should call…no. He should not, could not be a dealer in false hope….

From the dumpster fire that is the Timberwolves’ season, a dumpster phoenix rises majestically from the ashes. You can guess who that phoenix represents. No, it’s not a real phoenix, those don’t exist. Come on. You know this one. Sh… Sha… No. Not Shavlik Randolph. He plays for the Phoenix Suns, true, but he is…

I remember way back when I first did Shabazz highlights, all he could do to score was shoot lefty hooks. And dunk. But mainly, lefty hooks. Some things never change. Maybe we should stop viewing this attribute of his game as a negative. Do we say the Curry takes too many threes, or Kareem took…

Shabazz Muhammad heard his phone ring. He knew who it probably was, but, looking out his window at the interminable snow falling from the sky, he decided that he could use a little bit of companionship, no matter how annoying. “Hey, this is Bazz.” “Hello friend Shabazz. This Alexey calling.” Shabazz remembered how he had…
