When I sat down at my ultra high-powered highlights battlestation, preparing to make a premium Nene highlight video, I expected there to be at least five dunks. Maybe six. Because when you’re an athletic center who plays next to James Harden, you’re gonna get a lot of dunks. It’s almost to the point where you can tell him as you’re running up the court, “Hey James I feel like I wanna dunk on this possession,” and then you set a screen for him and he’ll make it happen.
The problem is, Nene only had two dunks in this game. Not six, five, or even four. Just two.
I now fully understand why Brazilians hate this guy so much.
Let’s be frank for a moment. I didn’t invest $28,000 dollars into a high-end video editing computer stocked with twelve GTX 1080ti GPUs, 120 terabytes of solid state storage, and a custom water-cooling loop just so I could make a video of Nene converting on layups. I could do that on a $600 computer from Best Buy. I’m starting to question whether this purchase was really worth it if Nene’s not even going to perform an adequate amount of dunks. News flash, Nene: you had Jokic on you. He’s never going to stop you from dunking.
