Nene has always been an “only-scoring” type big man. Nowhere is his playstyle better exemplified than in this video, because all he does is hit nine of ten shots from the floor. Wizards fans have been lamenting the decline of (or perhaps the consistent nonexistence of) his defense, but you don’t get highlight videos made of you for being defensively aware, so Nene is still good in that category.
I mean, this dude went coast-to-coast for a layup after doing like three different spin moves. If Porzingis did that there would be a worldwide rush to purchase new pairs of underwear. And then Nene blew by Drummond and whapped it. And there was a little stepback in there too, with Drummond once again the victim. If Nene wasn’t 33 years old I would be hyped for him.
Screw it. I’m hyped.
