Joy Holmes-Harris happily watched her son perform for the first time on the biggest stage of all, the NBA. He was already having such a good game, though as always she didn’t know how many points he had and as always it didn’t matter. She wasn’t much of a sports person, her basketball knowledge started…

Austin Rivers 17 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
I feel a bit bad about this video. It contains all of Austin Rivers’ 17 points, yes. This isn’t like last time. It was supposed to be a little longer, though. Austin has a block recorded in the box score. I wanted to see him stuff a dunk back in Shabazz Muhammad’s face, and all…
Read MoreZach LaVine 13 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
Ricky Rubio is gone, presumably having migrated south with the rest of his kind. The Timberwolves should have anticipated this and prepared themselves better; nevertheless, they are now down to two options at point guard: Mo Williams who was an All-Star, and Zach LaVine, who is a rookie and not really a point guard at…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 21 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
Kelly’s mind spun. His Rick Wakeman posters, his most prized possessions, including the one signed by the key-master himself, gone. His extensive 400-count collection of vinyl, spanning everything from First Nation tribal music to post-metal to jazzwave, gone. All gone, given the same treatment as an old pizza box, taken away to some dump to…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 20 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
I just watched Jabari Parker play some of the worst defense ever as the Bucks lost. That’s why I made these highlights; to see a rookie scoring a bunch of points without me having to even think about other aspects of his game. That’s also why you watch these things, to surround yourself in a…
Read MoreShawne Williams 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/14/2014)
“I can’t believe this,” Shawne muttered, lying on the couch of his cheaply-rented apartment. “I come all the way to Miami only to find out that there’s no LeBron James.” He continued to stew in his misery until his ringing phone disturbed him. “Hello, this is Shawne,” he answered. “Yo Shawne, it’s Luol,” responded the…
Read MoreJarrett Jack 23 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2014)
You know which player I hate? Corey Maggette. He was a chucker and a flailer. That may seem like a bit of useless trivia, but it’s not. Take a look at Jarrett Jack’s face. Who does he remind you of? That’s right. Corey Maggette. For that reason, I can never enjoy watching Jarrett Jack play….
Read MoreJames Johnson 16 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (11/13/2014)
James “Crazy Cheyenne” Johnson is one of those players who makes his mark on the game no matter what the situation. He’s a maniac on defense, accumulating steals and blocks with ease. He’s less of a maniac on offense, now that he’s reined in his shot selection a bit, but his dunks are still the…
Read MoreCourtney Lee 16 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/13/2014)
As the immortal Kendrick Perkins said: “These motherfurglers are still the Sacramento Kings” You have to feel bad for their fans. This must have been a heartbreaking loss. Then you remember that crazy buzzer-beater Tyreke Evans had a couple years ago, and you don’t feel so bad for them anymore. Then you think about how…
Read MoreBen McLemore 17 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/13/2014)
Wow, another good game for Ben McLemore! That’s three in a row now. His confidence must be sky high, he’s shooting well and scoring decently despite a low volume of shots. There’s no reason I can think of that his self-esteem would not be at its apex. He pretty much did everything right this game….
