“Our power is growing. I can feel it,” said Luke Babbitt, seemingly talking to an empty locker room. “It is as I told you. The longer I get, the better you shoot,” replied Luke’s hair. “Monty, the vile minutes-reducer, will pay dearly for his insolence. When you were benched, I could feel the anger glowing…

JJ Barea stood on the sandy beach, his eyes closed, facing the direction of the reflected moon on the shimmering water.

Wayne Ellington looked at the post-it note he had placed in his locker, the little pale-yellow square that gave him strength before every game. It read: “You’re a starter now. Go out there and make sure you keep it that way.” In the middle of his little moment of self-motivation, Jeremy Lin appeared at Wayne’s…
Read MoreJoakim Noah 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2015)
Showering after the win, Joakim Noah enjoyed the feeling of the hot water on his sore body. His uncontrollably curly hair, weighed down by the water, clung to his shoulders. Having such a large volume of hair was a nuisance sometimes, like when it was time to wash it, but other times, it was no…

“Sir, sir? Spare some change for a homeless veteran?” Trying to look as helpless as possible, Jimmer jangled his extra-large Burger King cup at the passing pedestrian, to no avail. The man bustled right by without even glancing in the direction of the panhandler that was accosting him. Jimmer, used to being ignored, wasn’t fazed….
