Last time I made Derrick Favors highlights, I ranked all current NBA players with the first name “Derrick”. Wouldn’t it be fun if I ranked all NBA players with the last name “Favors”? Yes. It would be fun. If you disagree, just leave. OFFICIAL NBA PLAYERS WITH LAST NAME “FAVORS” POWER RANKINGS 1. Derrick Favors…

Gordon Hayward 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/2/2014)
Amid the bustle of the team meal, held in a swank hotel conference room, Gordon Hayward sat in silence. Plate of chicken cordon bleu untouched, he typed and clicked furiously on his laptop. “Yo, playin’ more of that StarCraft again?” Diante Garrett asked, approaching the empty table. “Actually, just putting together a new gaming rig…
Read MoreTrey Burke 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2013)
You know how moms always save your childhood drawings even though they all suck? People with no torsos, skewed houses with gigantic windows, scribbles that you can’t believe might have once represented something to your underdeveloped brain? Moms just can’t get rid of these priceless relics. And I’ve found out that you can learn some…
Read MoreAlec Burks 20 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2013)
It was the first day of middle school basketball camp. The assorted kids looked around anxiously, waiting for instruction. The coach blew his whistle and spoke up. “Alright kids, time for layup lines!” The kids shuffled around for a while before arranging themselves into neat lines. Alec Burks stood near the back, eager to show…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
Are the Jazz trying to turn Kanter into a stretch four or something? He seems to be taking a lot of long jumpers. It’s the cool things for bigs to be able to shoot the ball nowadays, but Kanter’s strength is his back-to-the-basket game. I want to see some devastating spin moves in the post….
Read MoreDerrick Favors 22 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2013)
If you listen to the commentators in this highlights (I don’t listen to them except for making these things), you will notice one of them saying something to the effect of “You can just forget about the first 14 games of the season, because we didn’t have a point guard”. There is a guy who…

My source within the Hayward family has again furnished me with a copy of Gordon’s christmas wish list, which is presented here in its entirety. 24 pack of Monster energy drink Logitech G19s USB Gaming Keyboard with adjustable color GamePanel LCD and custom color backlighting Spalding NeverFlat basketball – mine went flat Hot Pockets –…
Read MoreAlec Burks 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/2/2013)
Now that Alec Burks and Trey Burke are on the same team, we obviously need to come up with a nickname for this tandem. However, since they aren’t yet known for any particular skill (dunking, shooting threes, blocking shots), the only thing we have to go by is their similar names. Here is my list…
Read MoreMarvin Williams 17 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2013)
Marvin Williams was drafted second overall back in 2005. Is the second overall pick the worst possible pick you can have? Because a lot of the players who have been picked at that spot since 2000 have been pretty bad: 2013: Victor Oladipo. Actually looks to be the best player taken in the top ten…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 10 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (11/24/2013)
Rudy Gobert is probably the rawest player in the NBA. It seems like every time he gets passed the ball it bounces off his hands and out of bounds. He can’t shoot free throws, or score in any way other than dunking it. But he does have a 9 foot 7 inch standing reach. This…
