First Larry Nance Jr., now Glenn Robinson III. I’m sick and tired of these sons of NBA players coming in and dunking all over everybody! The role of genetics in athletic ability is well documented, but if you want the abridged version, it basically means that if your dad played in the NBA, you get…

Larry Nance Jr. 18 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/20/2016)
Larry Nance needs to watch some footage of first-three-seasons Blake Griffin and take copious notes on how to dunk in-game. Griffin was (and sadly is no longer) amazingly talented at dunking with fury EVERY TIME. Not just sometimes. Not just when he felt like it. Not just when Timofey Mozgov was in the vicinity. No,…
Read MoreJamal Murray 18 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2016)
I have to take issue with the Nuggets commentators this game. For the most part, they were fine, even if they went a little overboard with the “C-Word”, referencing Jamal Murray. That was too much. Also the mention of talking to somebody on twitter. As a professional sports commentator, you NEVER want to admit that…
Read MoreEvan Turner 19 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2016)
Man, if these are the usual shots that Evan Turner takes, I can see why he is having a horrible year offensively. It makes for good highlights, I guess, all these contested midrange jumpers, but it doesn’t make for good percentages. Who does he think he is, DeMar DeRozan? Turner’s poor play means his huge…
Read MoreAndrew Harrison 13 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
The Harrison twins must have arrived at the NBA draft broken or something. Both of them were hyped hard coming out of high school (up there with Wiggins, Parker, and Randle), but unlike those other guys, the Harrisons are barely hanging on in the league. Neither of them even got drafted. Did they look bad…
Read MoreMarreese Speights 16 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
Marreese “Speighetti” Speights has always been a volume scorer, even when given limited minutes like this season or the season before. My main concern is, when do we get to see him unleashed for an extended period of time? And when I say “unleashed”, I’m talking thirty minutes per game with no restrictions on how…
Read MoreJames Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
“James, you have to be like LeBron,” Erik Spoelstra urged his player. “We need you to be like that for us or we’re going to suck forever.” James Johnson looked up at his coach, tears beginning to form in his eyes. “I can’t, coach. I’m not good enough.” “I believe in you,” Erik said firmly,…

This week’s biggest busts: Suns -8, Nets -4, Trail Blazers -4 This week’s biggest successes: Grizzlies +8, Pacers +5, Bulls +4, Pelicans +4 1. Los Angeles Clippers (12-2, 3-1 this week) (last week: #1 [4-0] +0) Who even needs a decent SF rotation when you’ve got Chris Paul on your team? Playing Luc Mbah a…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 21 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
With Derrick Favors out for an unspecified amount of time, and with Trey Lyles presumably starting lots of games in his absence, we will learn one of the essential truths about Lyles: is he a sensible option as a starting power forward? Or is he an irredeemable tweener who has no position on the floor?…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 24 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2016)
This video is good because it doesn’t have any layups. In case you missed the memo that I sent to everybody, basically I just find layups to be really unaesthetic and boring, and I resent it when I have to make a video where the player does nothing but make layups. On the other side…
