New NBA player, new nickname. I don’t really know much about Langston Galloway’s game that would aid in the creation of a moniker, so we’re just going to have to go with “Gallo” on this one. I like it! Has a nice ring to it. Unlike some of my prior creations, I don’t think this…

Donatas Motiejunas 17 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2015)
Our greatest fears have been realized: Donatas Motiejunas has not been getting the touches he used to while Dwight was injured. Well, maybe not the greatest. Even greater was the fear that Josh Smith would come in, displace D-Mo’s starting spot, and take all but the most garbagy of minutes from him. Thank goodness that…
Read MoreTravis Wear 21 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2015)
Again, my hastiness to make highlights of end-of-bench players makes me look stupid. I just wanted to make Travis Wear vids, and I didn’t care how meager his point outputs were. 11 points? I doubted that he would score much more than that, ever, so up it went. Now look. 21 points? I guess I…
Read MoreGerald Henderson 31 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2015)
Gerald Henderson: least respected playoff starter ever? No. Not even close. Why did I even ask? I don’t know. He sucked last year in the playoffs, so any disrespect thrown his way was probably earned, but there is no one who cares about Hendo enough to pay him any notice, much less diss him. Hendo…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 18 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Standing in the huddle during a timeout, Marreese Speights listened intently to his coach. There was still a lot of time left, and they needed to make a focused effort to regroup. Suddenly, a sharp pain exploded through Marreese’s head. He clutched at the apparent source, the bump on the top of his shaved head….
Read MoreTravis Wear 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
I have an unofficial policy where I try to make all my videos at least a minute long. You may notice that on some of the shorter videos, I show unnecessary amounts of play before and after the shot just to take up space. Well, this time I utilized that technique, but I could only…
Read MoreSolomon Hill 21 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Solomon Hill walked up to Donald Sloan after the game. He looked around furtively before asking his question. “Hey man, do you know anything about…the Hall of the Thirty-Point Scorers?” he whispered. Donald started. “You ain’t supposed to know about that place,” he whispered back furiously. “Who told you?” “You know, people…” Solomon responded vaguely….
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 14 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Anthony Bennett has all the tools to prove me wrong when I say this: he is simply a colossal bust. He’s big, he has some touch on his jumpers, and he rebounds pretty good. If he was a late first-rounder or even a late lottery pick, people would be okay with his performance so far….
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 14 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Jordan Clarkson seems like the perfect kind of rookie for the Lakers. He’s not especially young (though he looks like he’s about 14 or 15) for a first-year player, so he’s a little more polished as a scorer. The Lakers don’t need some total neophyte project in the second round. They need somebody who can…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 11 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (1/7/2015)
Rudy Gobert looked out his hotel window at the Chicago skyline. He loved the big cities, anywhere in the world, but Chicago was one of his favorites. The skyscrapers, majestic in their immensity, reminded him of himself; too tall for the surroundings. The game was in a few hours, but he knew what he had…
