How foolish I was to doubt the Hawesian one himself, Spencer Hawes. When I made a video chronicling his sixteen-point performance a few nights ago, it was made under the assumption that he would fail to exceed that point total in what remained of the season. Never did I think that he would somehow manage…

Rudy Gobert 17 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
How much more imposing is Rudy Gobert now that he has a collection of little bristly hairs on his chin and cheeks? Back when he was rocking a clean-shaven face, honestly he looked more like a pile of candle wax drippings than a basketball player. Now that Gobert looks like a human being, I imagine…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 29 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
It’s only through performances like this that Reggie Jackson is going to elevate his scoring average this season to twenty per game. Assists don’t count for your own point total even if you are, in a way, scoring points for your team. I think that’s unfair to be honest but I’m not going to get…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 15 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
If Nikola Jokic WASN’T in a rookie class filled to the brim with talented bigmen, we’d be sensing a lot more hype around him. Sadly, he is, and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that, so here we are, languishing in a Nikola-Jokic-hype-less existence. Before you mention the Serbs, yes, I am aware that…
Read MoreTroy Daniels Career High 28 Points/8 Threes/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
Damn. Did you see Troy Daniels just walk off the court after hitting what ended up being the game winner against the Kings? He didn’t give a CRAP. His teammates are all around him, freaking out, and he doesn’t even react. Just walks off. What a badass. If you know his history with game winners,…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns 26 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
I was going through my old videos for archival purposes, and, on a 3-ish-year old vid, don’t remember which one now, I saw a comment that intrigued me. Not the comment, actually, but the username of the commentor. “Karl Towns” Now, this is gonna seem like wishful thinking, but I bet it was the real…
Read MoreJrue Holiday 32 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
Jrue Holiday has pretty much dropped from my awareness entirely. Not like he was ever very far into it; apparently I’ve only ever made 2 vids for him. I guess I thought that, since he was an All-Star at one point, that he was too good for my channel? Not anymore. He’s been in varying…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (1/25/2016)
Think about how excited you would be if you watched Wilt score his 100 points in a single game. Very excited, right? You’d be going nuts, and you’d be recording it with your magic rectangle from the future so that future generations could enjoy the footage. Now think about how excited you would be if,…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 20 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2016)
In my last Jonas Valanciunas video I invited my viewers to take part in a quiz of my own invention. The description of that video contained these words: “Leave your answer in the comments section and be aware that if even one person answers incorrectly, I will never again post a Jonas Valanciunas video to…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2016)
Robert Covington may be long gone from the Rockets (they could use him now I bet), but remnants of their teachings still remain. In this game he exemplifies their offensive strategy perfectly: shoot a lot of threes and draw a lot of fouls. James Harden, get out your notebook. Covington got off to a fast…
