Buddy Hield 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
I’ve totally done a 180 on this 12-foot-tall 3D-printed statue of Buddy Hield that I have chilling out in my apartment. After I spent most of last year trying various ways to ignore it or remove it from my life entirely through increasingly desperate means, now this thing is basically my best friend. It’s nice…

“You must learn to control your anger,” said the withered old monk, who sat across from a man much taller and stronger than him. “I understand, master,” replied Bobby Portis. “But it is hard. My emotions are too intense, and they don’t allow themselves to be bottled up within.” He remembered all the times in…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 41 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2017)
Nikola Jokic grimaced as his hold on the sheer rock face loosened. He had been climbing for what seemed like hours now and the day, which had started out so sunny and serene, had taken a turn. He had thought he felt the first few tentative drops of rain start to fall a few minutes…

“WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS THAT ASSHOLE?” Kelly Oubre exclaimed as he entered the visitor’s locker room of Capital One Arena. “I’M GONNA PUNCH HIS GOD DAMN FACE IN!” The group of Cavaliers players, in varying states of undress, exchanged confused looks as Kelly raged around the room, looking behind furniture and around corners for…

“Yo, man, didn’t you try this last year? You know no one wants to be in that crappy band of yours.” Kemba Walker said incredulously. “That’s not what your mom said last night.” Jeremy Lamb responded absentmindedly, not turning from his current task, which was affixing fluorescent pink printouts on the Hornets’ team bulletin board….
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 28 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2017)
Caleb Swanigan approached Jusuf Nurkic after the game. “Hey, great game Nurk, Dame might have hit the game-winner but this win was all you, man!” Jusuf, who was seated at his locker, didn’t reply. He simply stared straight ahead, not moving or reacting to the rookie’s congratulations. Caleb turned to a nearby C.J. McCollum. “Yo,…

When the masked intruder bursts in through my front door, I barely react. There is a part of me that was almost expecting this intrusion into my home. I am sitting at my kitchen table, enjoying a late breakfast of S’mores flavor Pop-Tarts, a just reward for having finished another productive day of highlight compilation….

“Dear Diary, It’s been a long time since I wrote to you, but I’ve been having so much fun with my new friends that I sort of forgot. I know you won’t be too mad, though. You and me share everything, Diary. When I found out that stupid poopy-butt Chris got traded to the Rockets,…

“Kelly, I really wish you wouldn’t do that,” Jason Smith said with annoyance as he and Kelly Oubre enjoyed drinks in a bay area bar. Kelly mildly looked around at the group of five women who were stroking his bare arms and cooing at him. “It’s not like I asked them to do this,” he…
