Slaving away at my desk, the pile of crumpled papers at my feet grew by the minute. A close observation of my person would reveal a collared shirt marred by stains in the armpits and a forehead glowing with exertion. Of course, I was alone, and there was no one to observe my torment. “You…

Tyler Zeller 18 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
The title of this video is a lie. Yes, a dude named Tyler Zeller scored 18 points. In an NBA game on February 18th. And this video contains highlights of that performance. But they are not full highlights. Blame the Cavaliers’ TV crew, who don’t find it necessary to show free throws if they don’t…
Read MoreNate Wolters 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Nate “The Dutch Dominator” Wolters is one of those players who you can’t even figure out why they’re in the NBA. He’s just too white, too Minnesotan, too Midwestern. For folks like Jon Leuer you can kinda see why they made it (hint: it has to do with height) but Wolters resembles that one guy…
Read MoreMike Miller 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
The Grizzlies are making less than 5 threes a game this year. In this modern NBA, that’s an extraordinarily low number. Looking at their roster, it’s easy to see why they avoid this aspect of the game. But this lack of outside shooting ability manifests itself as a stagnant and not-very-good offense based around the…
Read MoreCaron Butler 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
This my favorite type of highlights to make. Just a bunch of shots going in the bucket. No free throws, no assists, no defense. Just shots. Maybe some replays. Caron Butler is not usually a threat to do those other things. He likes to shoot. From the perimeter. If he’s not shooting a three than…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 8 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
“I don’t know, Nate, can’t we try something else? I don’t like the looks of this establishment.” The two Bucks rookies stood outside of the Refuge Smoothie Cafe in Milwaukee. “What’s wrong Giannis, it’s just a smoothie place. You’ve had smoothies before, right? It’ll be fine. Come on.” Nate Wolters pushed his reluctant teammate Giannis…
Read MoreAndre Drummond 16 Points/22 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Andre Drummond is the only good player on the Pistons. There. I said it. Here’s some other players on the Pistons that you might think are good, listed with the shortcomings that cause them to not be good. Josh Smith – Has no concept of a “good shot” and is played out of position so…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 10 Points/11 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Anthony Bennett’s rise has been as meteoric as his initial downfall. After collecting his first career double-double two games ago, he has now accumulated the requisite 10 points and 10 rebounds for another one. Not only that, but he was only 8 assists away from a triple-double! Consider his rookie wall smashed into dust by…
Read MoreEvan Fournier Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
There was debate as to whether Evan Fournier was really a point guard or not. But that debate has ended, or at least been put on hold. Not because any resolution has been reached, but because Evan Fournier has to play point whether he likes it or not. The rest of the Nuggets guards have…
Read MoreChris Andersen 18 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Chris Andersen lay flat on his back. The dirt from the ground in his backyard was dirtying his already grimy shirt. He stared at the sky in wonderment. How had he never noticed before? Above him were birds. He didn’t know what kind they were, other than “the little ones that sit on power lines…
