Read MoreBen Simmons All 98 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Sitting in the empty bleachers with a basketball sitting inertly between his feet, Ben Simmons idly browsed his phone.

The tall Frenchman extended the full length of his body across the sofa. Gentle sunlight warmed him just as the glass of expensive Condrieu cooled him.

“Put me down!” Devonte’ yelled, ruing (not for the first time) the undeniable disadvantage that his short stature posed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo nervously went from one room of his apartment to the other, not able to sit still or focus on one thing for more than a minute. Checking the time on his phone, he saw that it was 5:31, which meant that Rachel would be arriving in half an hour. A swig of orange-strawberry…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson All 243 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation Part II)
The days passed, and Duncan grew increasingly concerned at his body’s strange response to his solitary practices. After much experimentation, he had precisely pinpointed the problem: if his two feet were planted behind the three-point line, his shooting arm would begin to spasm. Anywhere else on the court, he could shoot with no difficulty. If…
