Malcolm Brogdon won ROY of the Year solely by having games exactly like this the entire season. Well, not exactly: he only scored more than the 19 he had tonight two times in his rookie campaign. But my point still stands. He just went out there, played solid basketball, left no one particularly impressed, and…

Mike James 12 Points Suns Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
Note for fans of scrubs: this is not the same Mike James that once scored 20 points per game for the Raptors even though he sucked. The thumbnail should have made that clear, but just letting you all know. I don’t know much about this particular Mike “LeBron” James. He’s old, that’s what I know….
Read MoreDe’Aaron Fox 14 Points Kings Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
Thanks refs. Thanks a lot. I actually just sent the NBRA (National Basketball Refereess Association) a really nice thank you card with a special personal note that said in part “I’m really happy that you guys conspired to SCREW the Kings out of a WELL-DESERVED win in the first game of the first full season…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 16 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
No Tony Parker? No problem! Dejounte Murray is just as good at this point. No Kawhi Leonard? No problem! Kyle Anderson is just as… yeah. Either the Spurs can truly make any lineup work with Popovich at the helm, or the Timberwolves are still feeling each other out, or both, because the Spurs put on…
Read MoreClint Capela 22 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
One thing I noticed in the Rockets opener was that Chris Paul wasn’t getting Clint Capela involved. I think he passed it to him, like, two times? It’s not like Paul doesn’t have experience getting offensively-compromised centers the ball in places where they can do something with it (you know who I’m thinking of: Cole…
Read MoreDarren Collison 21 Points/11 Assists Pacers Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
No one cares about Darren Collison. You might think you do, since you’re watching this video, but you don’t. Because no one does. I know this because I once made a “Darren Collison 53 Points Full Highlights” vid, it only got 652 views, and I have it on good authority that the majority of those…
Read MoreTobias Harris 27 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
Is it possible that, somehow, Tobias Harris’ game got even smoother over the offseason? He dominated the Hornets tonight and didn’t look like he was even trying. Calm jumper after calm jumper, hitting nothing but twine. He’s always had a nice game, even as a rookie, but he was on another level of aesthetics here….
Read MoreTrevor Booker 20 Points Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
I think this video sets the record for most buckets scored off of tip-ins/putbacks/offensive rebounds in a single highlight video. I don’t exactly feel like going back to count all the times that Booker totally dominated the Pacers with his hustle and energy on the glass, but I can state with relative confidence that he…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 20 Points Hawks Debut Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
It’s good to see that yet another change of scenery for Marco Belinelli hasn’t impacted his outlook on the game of basketball and the way he wants to play it. From the video evidence presented in this highlights package, we can clearly see that Marco still loves to take three-pointers on the run, and that…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 28 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/18/2017)
Dennis Schröder stood near his locker, surveying the players that were present in the room with him. The sight made him want to smile, so he did, and anybody who saw the expression on his face would have assumed that he was just happy to be starting another season in the NBA. However, the emotions…
