Serge Ibaka 20 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

So Serge Ibaka had twenty points in the first half of this game against the Hornets. That’s really good. Great even. That’s an amount of points that should convince your teammates and your coach that you need to be the main dude on offense in the second half. I mean, if a guy scores twenty…

Gorgui Dieng 20 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

“Dear Diary, The cursed white sand falls upon the land of Minnesota in horrific storms of white devilry. I am almost entirely housebound, so great is my fear of the devil’s precipitation. I now decline any invitations by my teammates to carouse about town, for Lucifer could command the sky to produce evil white sand…

Nicolas Batum 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

I’m honestly getting a little tired of Nicolas Batum constantly achieving these high assist totals. We get it. You’re a point-forward. You’ve proven your point. Can you cool off on the assists for a bit? Just pretend it’s your first four years in the league and you’re averaging two assists per game like a small…

Marquese Chriss 13 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

Marquese Chriss sat alone in his lightly-furnished Phoenix apartment. A small desk-sized Christmas tree was the only outward sign that the holiday was being celebrated there. That, and the large amount of Christmas cookies that were currently in his kitchen. The last batch of cookies was presently baking in his oven; they would be finished…

Dragan Bender 10 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

This game from Dragan Bender is what is called “progress”. You might not be familiar with that concept since you have yet to make any of it towards any of your personal goals, so you’re going to have to trust me on this one. Even if you do understand the abstract concept of “progress”, you…

Joakim Noah 14 Points/4 Free Throws Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

I don’t know why everyone is all of a sudden hating on Joakim Noah’s free-throw shooting form. I mean, they were doing it before, back when he was still good on the Bulls, but it seems like it has really ramped up lately. Just because Noah has a ludicrously huge contract with no hope of…

Dennis Schröder 27 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

If Dënniß ßchrööder keeps doing what he has been doing the past few weeks, he’s going to find himself banished from my channel. I’d hate to do it, because I’ve been highlighting The Schredder since the beginning, but there comes a point in every young player’s career when he has to spread his wings and…

Brook Lopez 33 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

Okay, so I was gonna write a sweet description for this video, it was going to be the Lopez bros talking over the dinner table at some family gathering like 60 years in the future. And Brook is like “remember when I dunked on you but then Jimmy Butler hit that game winner?” and Robin…

Austin Rivers 22 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

For being one of the top teams in the league, the Clippers sure are trotting out some funky-ass lineups. Injuries suck, but they suck even more when your team’s bench depth consists of Wes Johnson, Marreessseeeee Speights and two empty Gatorade bottles. I am seeing more minutes for more scrubs than I have ever seen…

Buddy Hield 17 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)

Buddy Hield has been picking it up lately, which is good, because otherwise he’d be one of the worst players in the league. As it stands, he’s squarely in the “below average” category, edging towards “average” if he’s having one of his good games, like he did tonight. I’ll never be able to live down…
