Jeff Green 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2014)

Whistling a made-up tune, Jeff Green once again consulted the cookbook. “Thinly” slice the potatoes? His hands were so huge that he doubted that he would end up with anything other than gigantic chunks, but he pressed onwards. His mom wanted him to learn how to cook, and by golly, he was going to learn…

Kelly Olynyk 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2014)

Kelly Olynyk sat staidly at his keyboard, nestled in a corner of his cramped studio apartment. His rookie salary easily allowed for nicer accommodations, but he preferred the tight space. Not as much room for unnecessary possessions. He was playing a melody that had appeared in his mind during the night. Playing, tweaking, repeating. Fiddling…

Manu Ginobili 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2014)

Going in for a layup as he had done thousands of times before, Manu felt confident in his ability to make the shot. He couldn’t get a clear look at the identity of the defender, but it hardly mattered; he could shoot it over almost everybody. Feeling some significant contact on his arm, he hit…

Kenneth Faried Career High 32 Points/13 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/7/2014)

Aaron Brooks looked around nervously. “Yo Kenny, I don’t know if you should be smokin’ that stuff in here.” Kenneth Faried took a long drag on a spliff and grinned stupidly before exhaling the smoke through his tightly-pursed lips. “Chill out Aaron. It’s legal in Colorado.” “I know that, but you can be sure that…

Taj Gibson 22 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2014)

Taj Gibson, having been shown the ways of womanizing and chauvinism, was a reformed man. No longer obsessed with the cheerleader Caroline, whose body had been defiled in vile ways by Mike Dunleavy’s “Man Sauce”, he freely and frequently bedded all manner of hot women. He even garnered a reputation among his teammates for being…

Anthony Davis 28 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)

Tyreke Evans walked into the locker room before the game holding a large box. He set it down and opened it, revealing a purple, green, and yellow cake. “Look what I got us! A little something special for Mardi Gras! A kingcake! I thought we could have maybe a little snack before the game. Everyone…

Anthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2014)

Lots of great basketball players write memoirs about their playing days. I can see Anthony Bennett doing the same. And by “see” I mean I actually looked into the future and perused copies of this book at Jolly & Rogers Ebook Emporium. If you don’t want to know how Bennett’s career turns out through the…

Tayshaun Prince 21 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)

Tayshaun was stretched out on his sofa, attempting to give his back some much-needed relief, while also enjoying some Price is Right on the TV. His phone, sitting by itself on the coffee table, began to rang just as he was getting comfortable. “This better be important,” he grumbled as he stretched to grab the…

Enes Kanter Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)

The final buzzer sounded. The Bucks had thoroughly dismantled the Jazz on the back of Ersan Ilyasova’s 31 points. The Jazz, despite Enes Kanter’s 27 points, looked lifeless and uncaring. Kanter walked over to offer his congratulations. “Hey Ersan, great game tonight! Really representing glorious Turkey well.” “You know Enes, I not really from Turkey….

Zach Randolph 23 Points/14 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/1/2014)

Pulling up to the Krispy Kreme drive-through, Zach Randolph knew exactly what his order would be: “A dozen dozens of your original glazed, please.” Proceeding to the pickup window, Zach made it clear to the disinterested worker that the donuts were not all for himself – they were in fact for him and his teammates….
