Alan Williams 15 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

I am honestly getting a little tired of making Alan Williams highlights. Note that this is different from being tired of Alan Williams as a player. Alan Williams the player is great. Alan Williams Full Highlights are not so great. All he ever does is make layups and since he’s such a big target in…

Jason Smith 17 Points/1 Fight Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

So what if Jason “Help I’m Balding” Smith leaned into that screen a little bit? Players do that all the time, and it’s not his fault that Tyler Ulis is 5’9″, that’s all on Ulis. It’s not like he tackled him like he tackled Blake Griffin that one time; Ulis would be dead if Smith…

Allen Crabbe 23 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe is quietly shooting 44% from the threezone this year on significant volume, unlike somebody like Lance Thomas who shoots 45% because he only takes the openest open corner threes. Crabbe does a lot of catch and shoot off of curls like Kyle Korver does (the one guy who all catch and…

Quinn Cook 10 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Yawn. Who cares about some lanky Euro guy scoring his 30,000th point? The REAL highlight of last night’s Mavs-Lakers game was getting to watch a thing called “Quinn Cook” score ten points on 4-of-6 shooting. You know, truth be told, I’m pretty sure Quinn Cook could score 30,000 points in the NBA if you simply…

Jusuf Nurkic 17 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Jusuf Nurkic has a lot of attributes, too many to list here. He has nostrils. That is but one of his many attributes. Nostril-having. Bosnian is another thing that he is, a thing that would definitely appear on an encyclopaedic collection of his attributes. Such an exhaustive list of the attributes he possesses would surely…

Devin Booker 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Once again I think to myself as a Suns game is nearing its end “wow devin booker has kinda licked donkey taint this game” and once again he scores a bunch of buckets right at the end to give him a highlight-worthy amount of points. Note to self: never assume that Devin Booker has had…

Ian Mahinmi 15 Points/7 Steals Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

The Wizards paid Ian “Iannis Mahintokounmpo” Mahinmi a lot of money during the offseason. 60 million over 4 years, on the basis of a couple middling season with the Pacers. Maybe you could upgrade his last one with them to be “solid”. I certainly did a lot of vids of him that year, vids that…

Bojan Bogdanovic 29 Points/16 Free Throws Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Normally I would complain about having to show so many free-throws. My opinion of those things is well known, and I won’t repeat it. However, tonight, things are different. The sheer amount of free-throws (without a miss, don’t forget) that Bojan Bogdanovic made have converted them from useless video-filler to the main attraction. The video…

Yogi Ferrell 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

Apparently other stuff happened in tonight’s Mavericks game besides Dirk Nowitzki hitting 30,000 for his career. I know! It didn’t seem right to me either, but I looked at the play-by-play just now and there were a bunch of non-Dirk entries there. The boxscore said Yogi Ferrell scored 16 points and had 7 assists, but…

Julius Randle Triple Double 13 Pts/18 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/7/2017)

On a night where some dude on the other team scored some big round number of points, Julius Randle was off doing his own thing: contributing to the league’s ever growing triple-double count. I think this is number 81 on the season. Crazy! It seems like just a few years ago we hardly ever saw…
