I had to do this entire highlight vid with my cat, Japurri Purrker, sitting on my lap. He’s really soft and nice but he’s a little bit of a tubby kitty (just like the real Jabari) so it was a little bit of an ordeal. But he was so happy and he was purring like…

Jordan Hill 20 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
In a way, Jordan Hill is the real hero in the saga of Kobe’s 17-assist game. If Hill didn’t have such a wet-bordering-on-soaked jumper that Kevin Love simply doesn’t respect at all, we’d be talking about how Kobe had nine assists. Instead, Kobe Bean assisted Hill on eight shots, most of them jumpshots. That brings…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 14 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
Donatas “Donuts” Motiejunas needs to cut back on the donuts and other junk foods. He is not exactly “cut”, as the kids say these days. Now that he’s more of a post banger, the extra bulk might be helpful, but I think it would be even better if he could run up the court without…
Read MoreO.J. Mayo 22 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
OJ Mayo was bad last year. Fat and bad. The latest in a horrible string of acquisitions by the Bucks intended to score bunches of points. Screw you Stephen Jackson. I hate you so much. You too, Corey Maggette. Happily for the Bucks, OJ lost some weight and came into the season with a new…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 16 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/15/2015)
The entrance to the temple was built from large stones. Looking closer, Giannis could see that a single gemstone was embedded cleanly into the center of each. Rubies, sapphires, and chalcedonies shimmered underneath the purple light of the sky. Also on these stones were inscriptions in a language unknown to him, and, given the utterly…
Read MoreDwight Powell 11 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
It caught me totally off guard when this Brook Lopez-lookin’ dude splashed his first jumper. I thought he was a lot darker than he is. It turns out that I was thinking of Josh Powell. I don’t feel too bad about it, though, I mean, it’s too easy to get these no-minutes scrubs confused, even…
Read MoreDeMarre Carroll 22 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
When I was watching this game, I was awestruck by DeMarre Carroll’s luscious dreads. I began to have feelings for them that I have not felt in some time. Honestly, I felt a rush that I had not felt since I first watched a George Clinton video at the age of six. Then, in comes…
Read MoreDeAndre Jordan 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
“Dear John Skipper, I know that you guys over at ESPN appreciate me and the team that I play for. How could you not, when our endless showcase of alley-oops and power-jams brings untold thousands of viewers to your various content offerings? Let’s be honest here: if me and Blake Griffin didn’t exist, ESPN would…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 29 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
You have to feel for Michael Carter-Williams. He has been forced into a role that is way too big for him, and he’s paying the price as his reputation plummets. The 76ers have no one else other than Wroten who can even pretend to dribble the ball, and with Wroten injured all the time Carter-Williams…
Read MoreManu Ginobili 27 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2015)
As Manu Ginobili enters the twilight of his career, we start to see more clearly the dichotomy that he has always had. Most of his career, his negatives (boneheaded turnovers and flopping) were negated by all the other things he did to affect the game. Manu still has games where he looks like his normal…
