What was I thinking when I failed to do highlights of John Henson scoring 22 points earlier in the season? I can’t come up with any reasons for why I wouldn’t, except for the always relevant “I’m a lazy SOB”. I apologize for the oversight. 16 points isn’t quite as good, but its all we’ve…

Khris Middleton 27 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
Like a flower opening its petals in the revealing light of the morning sun, Khris Middleton is opening up his game, exposing its myriad intricacies for all to see. That’s right: Kha$h hit some two-point field goals! Not just some, but a bunch! He only took one three against the Mavericks, missed it, decided that…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 29 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
“Damn, I love Fazoli’s! This was the raddest idea ever!” yelled Mike Miller, waving two complimentary breadsticks in the air like an aircraft marshaller. “Mama mia! Italy rules!” Danilo Gallinari sat in a booth of the fast-food restaurant with several of his Nuggets teammates, a plate of fettuccine Alfredo untouched in front of him. A…
Read MoreIan Mahinmi 17 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
My standard for videos these days is if it doesn’t get 1,000 views, it probably should never have been brought into this world. Such is the case with my “Ian Mahinmi 12 Points Full Highlights” from early November. Right now it stands at 997 views (actually probably 998 because I just clicked on it and…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
Count me among those who thought that Shabazz Muhammad was going to be a bust when he came into the league with only one move, a lefty hook from ten feet. This was after he didn’t even win the NCAA tournament while at UCLA and after he had like ten hookers in his room at…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 14 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
Right now the Magic are ruining Aaron Gordon’s development. Ruining. I mean, Gordon became a three-point shooter just so he would compare more favorably to Channing Frye. When your full-of-potential fourth-overall pick starts trying to reinvent himself as Channing Frye 0.5, that counts as you having ruined your young player’s development. If anything, Gordon should…
Read MoreTyreke Evans 27 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
How about that! Tyreke Evans has officially become a good three-point shooter after ranging from mediocre in some seasons to outright terrible in other seasons. Given those fluctuations in his shooting numbers, I’m not totally convinced that he will continue to shoot the three as well as he has so far, or that he will…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 23 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
Am I a bad NBA fan for not having listened to any of Iman Shumpert’s rap output? I mean, I listened to “What the Kidd Did”, penned by Jason Kidd, and it was, you know, not really all that good, even by my relatively undemanding standards of rap as a genre. Not blaming Kidd here,…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 22 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
Now these are what I call highlights! Eleven buckets in a row, no replays, no free throws, no assists, no blocks, no steals, no intros, no outros, nothing except frickin’ BUCKETS. Hell yeah! This is the essence of highlights in their purest ideal. Those other things are just filler, distracting from the true point of…
Read MoreGerald Green 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/8/2016)
I saw it, you saw it, we all saw it. We all saw how Gerald Green stared at the Suns’ bench after canning a contested three-pointer. What we didn’t see was the look that he gave them. Was it a “I hate you all so much taste my fury in the form of triples” or…
