Nikola Mirotic lay in his hospital bed, watching the TV but not really seeing it. His thoughts were swirling, as they had been for days, thoughts of injustice and of… A sudden rap on the door startled him out of his reverie. Nikola cleared his throat, then rasped “Come in”. The door opened, and a…

Buddy Hield 18 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
So the 3D-printed Buddy Hield statue I have living with me is basically becoming more humanlike with every passing day. I mean, he’s still purple, plastic, and twelve feet tall (and naked), so it’s still pretty obvious that he’s not a homo sapien like me, but the dim consciousness he possessed when he first “awakened”…
Read MoreTreveon Graham 12 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2017)
Staring at my computer screen with annoyance, I pick up my phone and hit the first number on my speed dial list. When the call is answered after just two rings, I don’t even allow the answerer to give his customary greeting. “Sup Adam,” I interrupt. “You probably know why I’m calling.” There’s a sigh…

Brandon Ingram lay in his bed, watching Netflix on his iPad. His free hand was busy transferring Chex Mix from a bowl on his bedside table into his waiting mouth. The only light in the room was the flickering of the iPad screen. When a bright flash of light encroached on the very edges of…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2017)
“Hey Taj.” Taj looked up at his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns, then looked away in annoyance. “Hey.” “Listen, I’m sorry I emasculated you in front of the whole team by bragging about how I, you know, with that cheerleader you like.” Karl-Anthony said apologetically, his hands clasped behind his back. “I forgot her name now.” “Brianna.”…
Read MoreZach Randolph 22 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Zach Randolph slumped sadly against the cinder-block wall of his cell in the Sacramento County jail. His mind was filled with regret as he closed his eyes. Why had he ever thought it was a good idea to break into a Krispy Kreme donut store? He had plenty of money with which to buy donuts…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (October/November 2017 Dunkilation)
The decrepit gymnasium, from the outside, made no indication that it was occupied or even usable. The man approached it cautiously, looking around not only to ensure he wasn’t being watched, but also to verify that he was at the right location. His large gray overcoat, worn as a sort of anonymizing disguise, complemented the…
Read MoreZach Randolph 25 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2017)
Zach Randolph approached the Krispy Kreme store quietly. It was two in the morning, and the store was dark, empty of its usual lines of donut-seeking customers. Now he would be the only one in line. Thankful for the store’s location in the middle of a sprawling concrete expanse of shopping centers and big-box stores,…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 25 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2017)
“Dear Diary, I did a bad thing. A very bad thing. Everyone thinks it was an accident. But I know it wasn’t. When dumby butt-face Chris got traded, I knew Blake and me were going to become best friends. He was always so nice to me even when Chris was making me cry. But then…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2017)
Kelly Oubre lay slumped in a booth in the far corner of a downtown Philadelphia bar. In front of him was an astounding collection of empty beer bottles. Despite his being a prominent NBA player who had just played a game in that city on that night, nobody was bothering him. In fact, Kelly suspected…
