Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t die so that Michael Jordan could clap for the on-court accomplishments of a white person.

Trey Burke 25 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
There’s something special about 25 points. Maybe because it’s one-fourth of the way to Wilt’s 100, or maybe it’s because quarters are objectively the best type of coin. Whatever the reason, you should be glad that Trey Burke got that last free throw to go in, because there was no way I was doing highlights…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
I think we should all get to go back in time to the end of 2010-2011 season when Marcus Thornton was scoring 21 points per game. It was a carefree time, with no worries about maintaining a highlight channel, and the only concern in the world was whether you wanted to root for the Lakers…
Read MoreJ.J. Redick Career High 40 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
Hey, a career-high for J.J. Redick! That’s really cool. Except for, you know, how it doesn’t even count. “B-b-but DTB of course it counts, the o-o-official box score says 40!” you wail disbelievingly at your computer screen or phone. “W-w-w-what standing do you have to challenge official NBA s-s-s-statkeeping?” But in your heart you know…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 29 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
The Nets are making me sad again. They went all-in on an aging core, came up short (way short) and now their fans get to enjoy Brook Lopez dragging the corpses of his teammates through game after endless game. Donald Sloan is also involved. Whoof. That one hits really hard. I need to take a…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
There is only one way to resolve the spacing problems that come with Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor being on the court at the same time: turn Okafor into a three-point bombing stretch-four in the mold of Ryan Anderson. It has to be Okafor. Noel is a lost cause when it comes to scoring from…
Read MoreArron Afflalo 25 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
As fan voting for the All-Star game draws to a close, we can be sure of one thing: Arron Afflalo didn’t get in. If voters had a conscience, they would attempt to atone for their mistakes in the 2013-14 season, where they failed to ensure that Arron would receive a berth, even though he was…
Read MoreGordon Hayward 36 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
One short of his career-high in points, which is 37, and one short of his career-high in assists, which is 10. Plus, his team lost. Can Gordon Hayward do anything right? Don’t come at me with the whole “but he scored 36 and dished 9 dimes, accounting for a grand total of 54 of his…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 25 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2016)
I’m not the first person to compare to C.J. McCollum to Stephen Curry. People have been doing that ever since McCollum came into the league. But, if everything goes as planned, I will be the last. I have assembled a staff of dozens of volunteers who will scour the Internet for comparisons between McCollum and…
