The best thing about highlights is, by their very definition, they only show the good aspects of players. As had been proven many a time, a well-edited highlight package can make ANYONE look good. Hell, if you recorded me playing pickup ball at the gym for a month, you would probably get enough stuff to…

Bobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2015)
It shouldn’t take the entire rest of the Bulls being tired from a quadruple-overtime game for Bobby Portis to receive playing time. I mean, you’d think at some point during four extra periods of basketball that you could find some time for him, especially when Pau Gasol could barely make it down the court without…
Read MoreJabari Parker 14 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
The Milwaukee Bucks’ season is over. Flashes of good play are followed by long stretches of ineptitude on both sides of the ball. Playoffs? Don’t talk to me about playoffs. Which means that there is no reason, NO REASON, that Jabari shouldn’t be getting all the touches he wants on offense. It wouldn’t lead to…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Michael Carter-Williams is now shooting a very efficient (for him) 44 percent from the field. Great! So why do I get annoyed every time he tries to score the ball? For one thing, his jumper, despite some promising signs of improvement last year, is the brickiest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just as likely to…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Darn. As you can imagine based on the information you gathered from my account name, I kind of wanted the Bucks to beat the Warriors again. In this season where almost nothing has gone right for Milwaukee, two wins against a team that has defeated every other challenger would have been fun. After the game,…
Read MoreTobias Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Scott Skiles hated Tobes while they were both in Milwaukee. Tobes was obviously a beast even then but he didn’t get minutes because Skiles hated the young phenom like he hates all rookies. Now that Tobes is a big-money player with several years of high-quality play under his belt, Skiles has no choice but to…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Alex “Olexiy” Len can now officially be called a “Stretch Five”. This is in addition to other adjectives which accurately describe him, a list which includes but is not limited to “Ukrainian”, “Young Talent”, “Starter Quality”, and “Better than Tyson Chandler”. It remains to be seen whether Len will make another three-pointer this year (seeing…
Read MoreDerrick Williams 17 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
“Hey Arron, check out this new track I’m working on.” Arron Afflalo looked across the aisle of the bus to see Derrick Williams hard at work on his laptop. “That’s cool man, I’m good,” he answered. He had heard rumors around the league about Derrick and his odd fondness for certain types of electronic music….
Read MoreLuis Scola 20 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
I don’t get how Luis Scola can be 35 years old and still be this useful. It’s unlikely that he’s able to produce any defense out of his aging body, but the same body that can no longer defend anything resembling an NBA player is also the same body that abuses Chris Bosh with savvy…
Read MoreJae Crowder Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Jae Crowder’s dreads just look more pillowy by the day. In real life they’re probably all prickly and stiff, but on my computer monitor they look like thick ropes made out of pure bunny fur. I want to touch them. I want to fondle them. Is there somebody I can contact to make this happen?…
