Thaddeus Young 21 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

Thaddeus Young stood on the cold street corner, his hoodie pulled tight over his face. The last time he had been here, in this dangerous part of Brooklyn, he had been in search of his next fix. Even now, after being clean all those years, he could still taste the forbidden taste of cheesesteak on…

Buddy Hield 28 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

The whole ride back from the zoo, Buddy kept giggling happily to himself, thinking about the little goats he had seen there. Since he’s just a 3D-printed plastic figurine, albeit 12-feet-tall, it should have been disconcerting that he was making noise and moving on his own, but I’ve long ago accepted the fact that my…

Buddy Hield Career High 37 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

The sirens were getting louder and I knew that we had to get out of that zoo parking lot before we were found there. I turned that van and started driving towards the exit, taking care to avoid the mutilated bodies that littered the pavement, but it then occurred to me that, by leaving via…

Buddy Hield 28 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)

I was standing there in the middle of the zoo parking lot, surrounded by five men who were equipped with various types of firearms. I couldn’t see them very clearly; it was still nighttime and the parking lot was poorly lit. About fifty feet away I could see the moving van that would have been…

Buddy Hield 27 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Me and my 12-foot-tall purple 3D-printed naked plastic statue of Buddy Hield just stood there in the trees by the zoo parking lot as we heard the man give directions to several other men on how to bury whatever it was they were burying. “Can’t you assholes dig faster?” asked the voice in an annoyed…

Thaddeus Young 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Thaddeus Young walked through the hallways of the Wells Fargo Center towards the visitors’ locker room. At every turn, he saw another thing that reminded him of the seven years where he had called this his home arena. Even some of the staff were the same, and they greeted him happily as if he had…

Kelly Oubre 23 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2018)

Kelly Oubre sat hunched, facing in towards his locker. In front of him were a multitude of bright blue plastic components which he was carefully assembling into a finished product. The hustle and bustle of the locker room behind him was ignored entirely. Nothing could distract him. Nothing, that is, except an unexpected hand on…

Justise Winslow Career High 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/10/2018)

When Justise Winslow, walking through a back hallway of the Staples Center, felt himself get grabbed and pulled to the side by somebody with a very strong grip, his first thought was that he was going to get murdered. He instinctively tried to pull away, but his abductor quickly got him in a tight bearhug…

Enes Kanter 23 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

“Uh, Enes? You okay man?” Enes Kanter looked up at his teammate Courtney Lee with watery eyes. “Yeah. I’m fine.” “You’ve been staring at your phone, sobbing, for thirty minutes, so I don’t think you’re fine,” Courtney replied. “What’s going on?” Wordlessly, Enes handed Courtney his phone, then buried his face in his hands and…

Buddy Hield 25 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

I don’t know how long we were there playing with the goats at the zoo. A long time. My 3D-printed 12-foot-tall naked purple plastic statue of Buddy Hield just never gets tired of being around cute animals, especially cute goats who are full of energy and always begging for more treats. And the bag of…
