“There he goes. He always said he was going to do it one day,” Blake Griffin said, looking up at the distant speck in the sky. “I’m going to miss him,” Glen Davis replied, also looking at the same far-away figure. “He was just a chill dude through and through.” Chris Douglas-Roberts walked out of…

Kelly Olynyk Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2014)
Kelly Olynyk looked at the instrument with awe. He had imagined something like this only in his wildest fantasms, yet here it was, resplendent in its own glory. It seemed a bit out of place, here, at Kamloops Mega Storage, a far cry from the sun-dappled hillsides which he had imagined, but what did it…
Read MoreJustin Hamilton 10 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2014)
“Ten points isn’t really enough for highlights,” the inner voice says to me as I scroll through all of the day’s performers on Basketball-Reference. “Find somebody else.” Then, before I can stop it, even before I realize what my own hands are doing, I’m gathering clips from the Heat-Bulls game. “What are you doing, man?”…

Arron Afflalo lay prone upon the grass outside the Pepsi Center. Cold raindrops splashed on his face, but he paid them no attention. “Hey, Arron!” It was Nate Robinson, who was walking across the lawn towards him. “Why are you looking so down? You did great tonight, my man.” Arron sighed dramatically. “The suffocating veil…
Read MoreMike Dunleavy 22 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2014)
Mike Dunleavy lay in bed, content after another victory on the basketball court. He looked over to the vague lump that was the sleeping form of his wife, Caroline, who had surrounded herself most of the sheets in her usual manner. Dunleavy didn’t mind. A lady as fine as Caroline should have all the sheets…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 20 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/13/2014)
Giannis screamed. Lying, shivering, in the snowbank, he had no energy left to resist. The hooded figure approached him silently, no face visible beneath a robe made of some dark material, blacker than the deepest black. Once the apparition had reached where Giannis lay, he raised his hand in a beckon to be silent. “Don’t…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2014)
I should just stop being surprised by anything that Donatas Motiejunas does anymore. I really thought, that with Dwight coming back, that he would not put up the same excellent numbers he had been. I especially didn’t think that he would improve upon those numbers. But he did! Is there nothing that this guy can’t…
Read MoreLou Williams 26 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
Lou Williams sat in his apartment, brand-new saxophone in hand. “Lou Williams is a really jazzy name,” he thought to himself as he looked at the shiny bronze instrument. “I must live up to the jazziness of my name by learning how to play jazz saxophone, and then I will be Lou Williams, famous jazz…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 30 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
Ryan Anderson considered New Orleans his second home. It wasn’t as good as California, the ladies, perhaps, not as voluptuous, but very nice nonetheless. There was just something about the vibe, the culture, that made him feel as if he was stranded in an exotic land of poboys and jazzbos. He looked up at the…
Read MoreMarcin Gortat 18 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2014)
“Hey pretty lady, want some of my homemade Polish kielbasa?” asked Marcin Gortat, approaching a randomly-selected brunette woman at the bar. “Ew, no, jerk,” responded the woman, making a disgusted face. As Marcin turned away, disappointed but not deterred from his mission, she muttered, “Men are such pigs.” There was another woman a few seats…
