“Evan! What are you doing here?” Mario Hezonja exclaimed as he opened the door to his condo. “Well, I was in area and I thought, why not visit new teammate Mario and show him a good time?” replied Evan Fournier, looking down at the floor. “Is that the fun time you have planned?” Mario said…

Evan Fournier Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2015)

The interior of the ornately decorated French villa, located somewhat conspicuously within an Orlando suburb, was dark and silent. The normally bustling foyer and living room were empty. A slumping figure sat in the darkness, head in its hands. Evan Fournier knew he had screwed up. He knew he should have been more diligent terminating…

Al-Farouq Aminu 17 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2015)

“And this will be your locker,” Neil Olshey said. “It was actually the one LaMarcus used last season, but we don’t talk about that.” “Sure,” said Al-Farouq. It looked a lot like any other locker in any other locker room. In fact, it was exactly the same. He looked back over at Neil to see…

Bradley Beal 26 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)

“Marcin, we need to set some things straight.” Marcin Gortat looked over to Bradley Beal’s locker. “I agree, Bradley. With new season comes new beginnings and new understandings.” “So you know what I’m talking about, then,” said Bradley. Marcin raised his eyebrows. “Actually I am not knowing,” Marcin responded innocently. “Maybe it about how I…

DeMarre Carroll 21 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)

Mark Bartelstein answered the phone call with anticipation. If the Raptors were calling him, that meant they were interested in his client, DeMarre Carroll. He had his bargaining tactics pre-planned. If they proposed a lowball offer, Mark would trot out the advanced stats, the personal stories that exemplified DeMarre’s high character, and some fabricated offers…

Evan Fournier 22 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)

Evan Fournier relaxed in his recamier, the thoughtful and provocative sounds of Maurice Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé echoing off the damasked walls.

Jordan Clarkson 22 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2015)

Sitting at his kitchen table, Jordan Clarkson stared at the pile of unopened fan mail. “Honey, I know you always tell me that I should be grateful for my fans, but this is ridiculous.” Jordan’s girlfriend, who was busy making omelets, responded, “I do tell you that, but that doesn’t mean you have to open…

Jonas Valanciunas 21 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2015)

Jonas Valanciunas sat on his couch, dozens upon dozens of throw pillows scattered upon the cushions. He had achieved optimal comfiness levels by augmenting the pillows with a soft blanket and a twelve-pack of Heineken, but these material comforts shed no light on the action that was unfolding on his TV screen. “You have to…

Ish Smith 17 Points/9 Assists Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (10/27/2015)

Ish Smith sat with his agent in a bland conference room. They were at the Pelicans’ front office, trying to get Ish a job. As the business guys droned on about salary this and cap that, Ish wondered idly how many assists he would have to average before teams would start wine-and-dining him. Maybe ten….

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 21 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2015)

The dream ended as my body fully re-entered the Earth’s regular timeflow. However, my brain did not easily relinquish the dream, terrifying though it had been. My eyes flew open to find a tall man dressed in white staring down at me, but all I could recall was that the NBA had been taken away…
