Matt Bonner is some sort of genius. The Basketball Jones folks are going to follow him around twenty-four seven after this.

It gets all of the little things right. Right down to the squeezed aspect ratio. Jump cuts, 8-bit music, J.J. Barea… I can’t stop raving.

This is—I can’t believe I’m saying this—better than Detroit.

ha! He played for the Toros late last season, but didn’t get a lot of minutes. When he was in Europe, he was playing in a pretty low-level league. Something tells me he’s like Steve Novak 0.5.
