Andrew Wiggins 27 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/1/2015)

Andrew Wiggins was training hard. It was almost like a Gatorade commercial; his body sheened with sweat, his face a mask of concentration, his muscles exerted to their limit. He was upset with the start of his rookie year. The only solution? Hard work. He needed no trainers. What could they offer him? Words of…

George Hill 20 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2014)

His phone made the characteristic “new text” sound. Not even looking down at his phone, he knew what it was going to be: another one of his teammates wondering why he wasn’t at the New Year’s Eve party with the rest of them. He had already told them that he was still recovering from injury;…

Marreese Speights 23 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/30/2014)

“This is a good idea. It’s economically viable and it’s fully in tune with the demands of the market,” Marreese Speights said in his best “fancy” voice, sitting in a suit across from a banker who was also wearing a suit. He slid a folder of papers across the desk. “My business plan is flawless,…

“Congratulations, it’s a healthy baby boy!” exclaimed the nurse, holding a wet, shriveled, and screaming Trey Burke in her arms. “Have you come up with a name for him?” she asked, handing the baby back to his exhausted, sweaty mother. Trey’s mom exchanged a look with her husband, who was standing beside the bed. “Well…”…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/29/2014)

Time seemed to flow differently in this place. The alien landscape, while initially captivating due to its grotesque novelty, was easy to ignore; the cloudy, violet sky and brown, rocky ground did not vary. There was nothing that could be construed as a threat or even an object of interest. Giannis found his focus turned…

Nicolas Batum 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2014)

Victor Claver sat near the wall of the training facility, staring intently at the basketball in his hands. Nic Batum, on his way to the fridge full of Gatorade, noticed his Spanish teammate’s focused demeanor. “Hey, Vic, getting in the zone for tonight’s game?” Victor looked up, startled, as if he had been awoken from…

Kris Humphries 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2014)

John Wall and Bradley Beal were giggling like schoolchildren. “This is too mean. Too mean! Which means we had to do it.” Bradley said through laughter. “We really didn’t have a choice, I agree. How do I look?” his teammate responded, looking at himself in the locker room mirror. John Wall was dressed in a…

Paul Millsap 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2014)

The mood in the locker room was subdued; most of the Hawks players were silently contemplating their own role in the blowout loss they had just suffered against the Bucks. However, the always upbeat Kent Bazemore was chatting to Paul Millsap about his good performance. “You did great out there, Paul. Just bring it again…

Marcus Morris 20 Points/6 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2014)

Marcus Morris woke up from his sleep slowly. As his brain brought itself up to speed, he noticed that his bed felt different. It was softer than he liked. Eyes snapping open, he saw that he was not in his own bed at all. A desert dawn-light sneaked through the cracks in the blinds, illuminating…
