Kelly Oubre 18 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

Kelly Oubre is being brought along slowly in the NBA. That’s probably a good thing, given how often we see rookies/young players crash and burn when given too much responsibility too early. He’s the backup small forward by default in Washington despite looking a little skinny for the position, probably because the Wizards have about…

Marvin Williams 21 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

I didn’t watch this game live, so when I saw Marvin Williams take a hard fall after a dunk attempt on which he got fouled (shades of Bogut vs. Stoudemire), I knew he was going to get up and score ten more points. I knew that, no matter how bad that fall looked (it looked…

Marreese Speights 23 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

This is a great game from Marreese “Speighetti” Speights. Perhaps his best game of the season. This highlight video should be great, right? It’s got a big guy shooting threes, it’s got the same big guy doing a weird dribble move, it’s got a cyst, it’s got everything you want and more. There’s just one…

Bismack Biyombo 15 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

You can tell by the Nuggets’ bench reaction that Bismack Biyombo’s hard tumble in the fourth quarter of this game looked gnarly as heck. Double gnarly. You don’t even need to see the fall itself. I didn’t show any replays, because when it happened live, the first thing I thought was “Kevin Ware 2.0”, and…

Elfrid Payton 20 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

I warned you guys. I WARNED YOU. I was very clear about it: do not watch the full Elfrid Payton highlights. The last Payton vid I made was almost four minutes long. A length so lengthy that anyone watching the whole thing would be putting their life in great danger. And I warned you of…

Dario Saric 17 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

The 76ers, Dario Saric included, are in imminent danger of being engulfed entirely by their flashier rookie, Joel Embiid. When people will think of the 76ers, they will think of Embiid and nothing more; the two will be equal in the public’s eye. It’s already happening right now. A few Euros care about Saric, some…

Ron Baker 12 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

I guess, with tonight’s performance, you could say that Ron Baker got a… BAKER’S DOZEN!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I’ve been waiting all season to use that one, and let me tell you, it was just as good as I imagined it would be. Just perfect. Wow. I have reached the top, gentlemen, and the view from…

Mindaugas Kuzminskas 14 Points/1 Injury Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

If you are the type of person who turns pale and faints at the first sign of blood, for one thing I hope you didn’t mind the thumbnail too much, and for another maybe you shouldn’t watch this vid. Unless you derive perverse pleasure from the feeling of fainting, in which case indulge your sick…

Emmanuel Mudiay 18 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

When you think about awesome point guard battles that happened/are currently happening on the sixteenth of two-thousand and seventeen, you probably think of Chris Paul vs Russell Westbrook or Stephen Curry vs Kyrie Irving. Right? Right. That’s what the people at TNT thought when they were choosing the matchups for the MLK day extravaganza. Just…

Nikola Jokic Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2017)

Nikola Jokic has moved into the stage of his career where he starts receiving assists for not even really doing anything. Most All-Star caliber players reach this stage early on; scorekeepers realize that, for the good of the league, these players’ numbers have to be inflated a bit. Points and rebounds are hard to fudge,…
