Will Barton 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

Will Barton is another one of those players where I kinda want to see him get his own team just so we can know how many points he would score if given as big a role in an offense as he can handle. Perhaps even a bigger role than he can handle – that would…

Sean Kilpatrick 23 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

Randy Foye might have won this game for Brooklyn with his buzzer-beating three, but let the record show that Brooklyn would never have been in a position to win the game were it not for the heroic, monumental efforts of one Sean Kilpatrick AKA $ean$wag. $ean$wag was the one whose late three-point barrage set up…

Nikola Jokic 24 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

It seems to me that we can start using the term “legit” when it comes to Nikola “Jock Itch” Jokic. Here’s an example usage: “Nikola Jokic is seriously legit right now.” We can use that word when talking about Jock Itch because that’s what he is. After his first season, you couldn’t really call him…

Nikola Mirotic 20 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

If I’m Nikola Mirotic, I think hard about going back to Europe after my rookie deal is up. Sounds crazy, I know. But it must really suck being a low-usage bench player on a middling team with a fanbase that doesn’t like you anymore after being a much-beloved beast in Europe. Actually I just looked…

Joel Embiid 25 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

At what point in a dude/dude non-romantic friendship do butt-slaps enter into the picture? Whatever it is, it must be a hell of a lot earlier for NBA players. Because I’ve had dude friends I’ve known my whole life, and I never once thought “My dude just did something cool. I should forcefully SLAP his…

Tony Snell 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

Tony Snell hasn’t had a great year so far for the Bucks. His most valuable skill, his three-point shooting, has regressed badly; he’s shooting barely above 30 percent on mostly open looks. He’s still a good defender, which is nice, but on offense, as Bulls fans know, he is mostly invisible. Still, he helps the…

Seth Curry 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

Starting right now, I will not project any aspects of Stephen Curry onto Seth Curry. Starting now. No more taking attributes from Steph and trying to assign them to Seth. Okay? They are two separate players, and you know what I’m not even going to acknowledge that they’re related anymore. Totally done. Seth is now…

Dragan Bender 11 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

The “11 Points” in the title of this video doesn’t do justice to the kind of performance Dragan Bender had tonight. Not even close, but if I put everything he did up there then I think YouTube would get mad at for it being too long. So I’ll put it here instead: 11 points, 13…

Bojan Bogdanovic 26 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

I don’t know how it is from the perspective of a honest-to-god Nets fan (don’t forget to put a reference to that picture of that Nets game that was totally empty right here, you dummy), but at least from my perspective, the Nets are a surprisingly fun team to watch this season. Back when the…

Otto Porter 32 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)

I bet in the comment section of this video there are going to be a bunch of people saying stuff like “I knew he had this in him” and “I always liked his game” and “My fav player”. I’m calling those people out right now because they are dirty liars. Hear that, losers? I’M CALLING…
