Isaiah Hartenstein Believes He Can Start: "I feel like I'm being gaslit

CLEVELAND, OH - Cavaliers big man Isaiah Hartenstein expressed discomfort in a post-game interview last Sunday, describing a growing, nagging feeling that his own potential was being hidden from him.

"I don't know, I just feel like I wasn't born to be an end-of-rotation player," the 7-footer lamented after playing 17 minutes in a loss against Milwaukee. "I can't describe it, there's just something in the back of my head that tells me somewhere out there, there's a parallel universe where I'm starting for one of the best teams in the league."

When reached for comment, Cavs owner Killerdawg7 was quick to say that Hartenstein is flat out not ready for such a role. 

"We tell him every day after practice, you are living in a fantasy world. Look, we all love Isaiah in this organization. But he is a role player at best, and that's that."

Hartenstein described how he spends most evenings crying in Killerdawg7's office, begging for a chance to prove himself. Despite accepting a team-friendly extension and playing with 50% effort against opposing bench units, the big man has not made any dent in his front office's firm stance that he is insane and borderline schizophrenic.

Hartenstein scored 22 points and collected 18 rebounds in 4 minutes off the bench last night for the Cavs.

Suns Players Listen in Awe as Westbrook Shares Magical Stories

PHOENIX - A warm fire crackled in the background as the Phoenix Suns took part in one of their favorite offseason traditions: listening to Russell Westbrook tell stories of his time with the Magic.  As members of the richest family in the NBN, most Suns players had never left the expansive fields on which their Victorian mansion sat, but the elder Westbrook was adopted into the family two years ago; before that, the vet lived a humble life in a faraway land called Orlando.  The Suns sat in a tight circle around Westbrook and looked up at him, their eyes full of wonder. "Mr. Westbrook," shouted a child's voice from the back of the group. "Is it true that in Orlando they sent away the children they couldn't afford?" Westbrook's eyes darkened, his visage saddening in the flickering light of the fireplace. "Yes, Devin, that happened quite a lot," he explained as gently as he could. "I remember one child, Immanuel, who was taken down to the mar...

Federal Investigation of Marcus Smart Comes Up Emptyhanded: "He just sucks"

WASHINGTON, DC - The Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed today in a press conference that they had recently wrapped up a three-year probe into the possible involvement of Marcus Smart in an illegal betting operation. However, despite their best efforts, the agency admitted that they had found no proof that the two-way guard was fixing his stats at all. "In all honestly, we saw this as an open-and-shut case," said FBI director Kash Patel. "I'm pretty sure I could go out there and put up better numbers than 2021 Marcus Smart. I think all of us in this room could. But the only crime Marcus seems to have committed is being bad at basketball." Smart, who has played for six franchises in his NBN career, has only made the playoffs once, in 2022 as a member of the 2022 Warriors. In 2020-21, Smart averaged a putrid 38% true shooting percentage with the Celtics, before being shipped to Oklahoma City, where he went 1-18 in his 19 games and shot 28.7% from the floor. I...

HOUSTON, TX - Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green was left speechless this morning when he woke up to find his property covered in toilet paper. Reviewing his security footage revealed a group of masked teens arriving at Green's home early in the morning and covering various parts of the residence in the household item.  "I don't know who sent them or why," said Green to NBN Today representatives. "The only clue I had was this mysterious note they left." Green revealed that he found a note taped to his door, which read: "Dear Luke. U bum!!! Get cut bitch!!! Regards from K and A."  "It looks like they got the wrong house, which really sucks," explained a distraught Green. "They even slashed my tires. I had a play-in game to get to today and now I won't make it." The Rockets are currently playing the Memphis Grizzlies in the Eastern Conference play-in.
