...prevent an eight-game league losing streak at the end of the season that dropped the Crimson to a 5-9 Ivy record, perhaps the most disappointing finish in school history. “At this time last year there was a lot of energy, a lot of hype, a lot of excitement about the return of Matt and Brian, because of their scoring, for their rebounding,” Harvard coach Frank Sullivan says. “I think at the end we all realized this is a guard-dominated league, always was, always will be.

...season tip-off draws near, speculation surrounds Harvard’s youthful roster. Will one of the team’s talented underclassmen live up to their rookie hype? Will the team blend senior leadership and young talent and win an League title?Two unsung members of the Crimson have been there and done that.

And for good reason—their image is so perfectly contrived for the moment that it must be exhausting to keep up. Everything about them just begs for awkward worship from awkward fans.

...Diplomats patriarch Cam’ron, who was actually a standout on his high school basketball squad. He’s ’Melo—underappreciated, and a natural leader. Then there’s Juelz Santana, who, like Kenyon Martin, gets too much hype and works best as a supporting player. Hell Rell, like Nene, doesn’t do very much, but he still makes bank. J. R. Writer is obviously J. R. Smith. Freeky Zeeky, with his propensity to get shot during traffic incidents, is Julius Hodge. Where does Jim Jones...
