Jabari Parker 22 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)

Something switched on for Jabari Parker after the All-Star break. Whether it was a moment of introspection where he realized “Damn I’m the 2nd overall pick I’d better start shooting some shots” or whether Jason Kidd sat down to think about where the Bucks went wrong and realized “Damn Jabari you’re the 2nd overall pick…

Norris Cole 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2016)

Norris Cole is a fine backup point guard, but I can’t discern any reason why he should be starting with Jrue Holiday’s minutes restriction now lifted. Yes, Holiday is putting up good numbers off the bench, but he would put up even BETTER numbers if he started. Not only that, but Anthony Davis deserves to…

Derrick Favors 25 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)

When I was watching this game I was able to witness Derrick Favors being guarded by LaMarcus Aldridge and vice-versa. That got me thinking: is Derrick Favors not the second coming of LaMarcus Aldridge? Derrick takes a lot more of his shots close to the basket, but he has shown a jumper game that is,…

Ryan Anderson 26 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2016)

Attention white American males: there is a person that shares your skin tone and nationality who, despite him having good games in the NBA on a regular basis, you are not watching highlights of. That player? Ryan Anderson. He’s WHITE. Come on. He’s WHITE and he shoots THREES. You guys frickin’ loved Steve Novak, right?…

Hollis Thompson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Hollis Thompson AKA Alcohollis AKA All Hollis Breaking Loose AKA Hlay is the only player on the 76ers who has seen the tanking project progress from its humble beginnings to where it is now, which isn’t very far away from its initial humble beginnings. That’s right: out of 23 players who suited up for the…

Gorgui Dieng 21 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

“Dear diary, Today my teammates played a very cruel trick on me. We were in the locker room after we lost to the Raptors. I had personally done well in the game, so my teammates had all gathered around me, telling me about how I had made Jonas Valanciunas look foolish trying to defend me….

Reggie Bullock Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

For the first time this season, Reggie Bullock stepped out onto the court and looked like an NBA player while doing it. His previous season high was three, his next highest game was two, and then it’s zeros from there on out. We know from his time in Clipperland that he can be an okay…

Josh Richardson 15 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

When Josh Richardson scored eight points near the beginning of the season, I declined to make a highlight video for him, believing that if he could so easily score eight in an NBA game, he would quickly surpass that total. Then, months passed with Richardson either getting DNP’s or failing to produce in the minutes…

Channing Frye 15 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

“Come on guys, do I really have to do this?” Channing asked, looking at the entrance to the McDonald’s with trepidation. “We haze all the new players,” LeBron reiterated. “Trust us, we’re going easy on you. You should have seen what we made Timofey do when he got here.” “It was no big problem, drinking…

Jordan Clarkson 28 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/24/2016)

Before I can anoint Jordan Clarkson future king of LA, I need to find out if he plays defense. His skills at scoring the ball are no longer in question. Since he no longer plays at the point guard position, he skills at distributing the ball are no longer relevant. But defense is always relevant….
