Tristan Thompson 18 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

In a way, it’s Tristan Thompson’s fault that LeBron James is currently having a meltdown and telling everybody who will listen that he needs more playmakers. Not only because Tristan isn’t a playmaker himself, but because he knowingly signed a contract that paid him too much, a contract which then prevented the Cavaliers from acquiring…

Ricky Rubio 14 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Ricky Rubio is currently shooting a career-best 38.7% from the field. He’s also attempting a career-low 6.6 field goals per game. The two might be connected if he’s being pickier with his shots and only taking ones he thinks he can make. Unrelated to those two stats is his ETL (Eyelash Thickness Level) which is…

Willy Hernangomez 16 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Willy Hernangomez: the savior of Spaniards in the NBA? The Gasol brothers only have a few years left and somebody needs to step up to the plate to represent Spain over here in the states. The savior was supposed to be Ricky Rubio but he still can’t shoot, and if he never develops that skill…

Rudy Gobert 26 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Rudy Gobert, clad in an all-black skinsuit, had to restrain a chuckle as he easily entered the night-darkened home of Adam Silver. The commissioner had clearly not been expecting home intrusions when he had left the windows of his living room swung open. Now, thanks to his lax security, Adam would pay the ultimate price….

Frank Kaminsky Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

How many career highs did Stephen Curry set tonight? That’s what I thought. Checkmate, Warriors bandwagoners. Frank Kaminsky – 1 Stephen Curry – 0. Hold this L. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even know what “Hold this L” means but people keep commenting it on my vids so I thought I’d try to be…

Seth Curry 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Seth Curry is starting to become the player I thought he could be after leaving Sacramento. He’s been a reasonably consistent double-digit scorer for a while now, and his assist totals the last few games have trended upward. This increase in the quality of play roughly coincides with an increase in the quality of play…

Kyle Korver 20 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

This video is only for the eyes of Hawks fans who still respect Korver for what he did for their team and want to see how he is doing on a new team. And also fans of the NBA in general, who enjoy basketball on its purest level and want to see one of the…

Thon Maker 12 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

While watching Bucks games recently, I’ve found out that I can’t really tell Thon Maker and Tony Snell apart if they’re on the court together. One of them is taller than the other, but it’s hard to tell when the camera is so far away and they’re both running around like chickens with their heads…

Salah Mejri 16 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Nothing pisses me off more than home commentators chuckling patronizingly when one of their lesser skilled players does good things. The Spurs commentators did it last year with Boban Marjanovic, and it’s happening again with the Mavs and Salah Mejri. Just because he’s somewhat awkward looking and doesn’t usually score more than a handful of…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Career High 38 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/1/2017)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope may have choked away his chance at a 40-burger by missing two free throws near the end of the game, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be super impressed. I mean, we should be thinking about the 38 points he DID score rather than the two he didn’t. Unless you’re me, in…
