Quietly, without anyone noticing, Wesley Matthews snuck into the NBA league office. It was late, and the only security guard on duty was taking a not-very-well-earned nap. There was nothing of true value here, unless one considered fake plants and other generic cubicle farm detritus “valuable”. Wesley wasn’t here for that stuff. Damian Lillard had…

Nikola Mirotic 13 Points Full Highlights (12/25/2014)
Nikola Mirotic stared blankly at the flickering, flashing TV in front of him. His eyes saw the pointless images on the screen, but his brain did not comprehend them. Instead, his mind dwelled, as it had for the entire preceding week, on loneliness and homesickness. Yes, the Bulls had won the Christmas game in front…

I was enjoying Christmas with my cat Japurri and a bag of flamin’ hot cheetos when there was a knock on my door. I got up to see who my visitor was, hoping secretly that it was that cute latina chick who lives above me, but there was nobody there. However, I did glance down…

Illuminated only by the glowing light of his laptop screen, Brandon Knight carefully scrolled through her Facebook photos, one by one. The friend request with Bucks cheerleader Kyra had been consummated not ten minutes prior, and now he had access to all of her bikini photos. Hundreds of them, perhaps thousands. There had even been…

Dirk Nowitzki reclined lazily on the couch. Surrounding him, adoring him, were a hand-picked sampling of Germany’s finest frauleins. A few male friends were also there, hoping to gain some residual coolness by their proximity to him. The other males in the club looked on jealously; they were no match for the suavity and wealth…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, adorned in the papal Pallium vestment, entered the cathedral where mass was taking place. Coming in through the back, nobody took notice of him as he entered the rear of the sanctuary. The priest at the front was saying some kind of prayer. It was the perfect time to interrupt, as everybody else…
Read MoreJon Leuer 16 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2014)
Jon Leuer looked unhappily at his reflection in the mirror. He had been noticing things for the past few weeks that were becoming harder and harder to ignore. Standing straight up, he let his face rest in a neutral position; seeing the reflected image of this made him wince. He could no longer deny it:…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2014)
He was being sucked through a vortex of some sort. Swirling blues and reds flew by at an incredible rate of speed, and Giannis found it hard to keep his eyes open. Next to him, he could see the cloaked being that had opened this accursed portal; despite the high speeds, its cloak stayed still…
Read MoreMike Miller 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/19/2014)
Mike Miller pulled the phone out of his pocket, fiddled with it confusedly for a few minutes, and managed, finally, to dial the phone number of his father. “Oh, hey Mike! Great game tonight, my boy, great game!” “Did we win?” Mike’s voice was sad and unsure. “What? Yes, you won, Mikey.” His father sounded…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 21 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2014)
Silence reigned in the concrete confines of room 162 at Kamloops Mega Storage, a sharp contrast to the cacophony that had been present just a few moments earlier. The remaining bandmembers of Starcubism looked solemn, except for one, who had adopted his usual serene manner. “So, uh, Moonbeam, do we have a timetable or anything…
