Jakob Poeltl was staring at his locker, looking for the second sock of a pair (the first sock being already on his foot), when a hazy apparition appeared in front of him. As Jakob watched with astonishment, it slowly coalesced and gained form until it took the unmistakable shape of a human. The spirit-cloud was…

Kelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
On the team bus that was driving the team back to their hotel, Austin Rivers couldn’t help but notice that something interesting was up on Kelly Oubre’s laptop screen. “What’s that?” he asked. Kelly didn’t look up from his intense, focused work. “CAD software.” “CAD?” Kelly rolled his eyes. “Computer-Aided Design. Duh.” “Looks complicated,” Austin…
Read MoreMarc Gasol 27 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2018)
The giant, bearded man sat on the slimy stone floor of his dungeon cell, back resting uncomfortably on a cell wall composed of uneven, rough-cut stone blocks. There was no light apart from the faint dimness that filtered in through the small, barred window in the cell’s door. It was just enough to see by,…

King DTB sat at his throne, projecting an image of calm confidence, but inside his heart, he felt neither calm nor confident. Banishing the man called Marc Gasol to the dungeons had been a necessary step, taken to ensure that his rule over Deeteebeenia would remain steady, but the man’s brash impudence had left its…

One of the lame things about being an NBA player is that your schedule is so tightly-packed that you don’t get to take part in all the activites that normal US Americans get to take part in. You finish a game and then it’s off to the airport to catch another flight or it’s off…

When we got into the zoo, I reminded my 12-foot-tall 3D-printed purple plastic sentient naked statue of Buddy Hield that we had to be really, really careful. I told him that the people who run the zoo don’t like it if people come in after it’s closed for the night, even if they don’t intend…

The giant, bearded man followed behind the gatekeeper, struggling to shorten his strides to match those of the much smaller man. “This King DTB of whom you speak must not be a very wise king, if he would allow a man such as myself into his realm unscrutinized,” he commented. The old gatekeeper shrugged. “He…

“Dear Father, I apologize for filling your mailbox with more correspondence from your distraught son, but you are my only source of comfort in these trying times. Today, while playing in a game against the Hornets team from North Carolina (such an odd choice for a team’s name, but I cannot argue, for I play…
Read MoreEd Davis 17 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Scrolling down the Nets-Mavericks box-score, I am struck by an intriguing total: Ed Davis with seventeen points. Using my amazing powers of statistical recall, I quickly determine that seventeen is the most that Davis has scored in the past three seasons. A highlight video must be made at once. My eye darts to the left…
Read MoreCedi Osman 21 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2018)
Cedi Osman stood outside the door to the visitor’s locker room, arguing with the security personnel who guarded it. “I need to see LeBron,” he repeated, not wanting to sound like he was pleading but not being able to help it. “Yeah, you and everybody else,” said the portly, sunglasses-wearing man. Cedi pointed at his…
