Kay Felder 13 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

I love it when narratives write themselves. It makes my job much easier as a purveyor of basketball insight (insight which often varies from not insightful at all to downright untruthful). And the narrative for this performance is this: Kay Felder just totally had a revenge game against the Cavaliers. You see, he used to…

D’Angelo Russell 29 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

D’Angelo Russell (who has probably outgrown the “D’Angelo Bustell” nickname, at least from my end) didn’t have an exceedingly efficient game last night, going 9-of-25 from the field after draining four quick three-pointers in the first quarter, but, you know what? 29 points is 29 points. You can deny it all you want, but the…

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson 18 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

The Nets are currently the highest-scoring team in the league. If you’re a future visitor to this video, first, I bet the future is really awesome, and second, we’re currently just four games into the season, so the Nets being in front at this stage doesn’t mean a whole lot. The real mind-blowing thing about…

Jaylen Brown 23 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

Jaylen Brown should be sending Gordon Hayward a card. Actually, two cards. One of them should be a get-well card because obviously he wants Hayward to get well soon and to come back to the court as strong as ever. But the other card he sends should be a thank-you card to Hayward for getting…

Evan Fournier 28 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

It is pretty much my singular purpose in life to determine which NBA players are suffering early-onset hair loss and single them out through my thumbnails and descriptions. I am constantly on the lookout for players who are thinning on top or who have receding hairlines. Nothing gets me more excited than adding another player…

Darren Collison 15 Points/16 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

If you’re hovering over this video wondering whether or not to click on it, for one thing I don’t blame you at all, but keep this in mind: this is the most assists any player has racked up so far this season. Tied with Westbrook, and no one else is even close. Also the thumbnail…

Lauri Markkanen 19 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

Is there any NBA fan on earth who isn’t getting hyped for Lauri “Suomen Markka” Markkanen right now? Unless you’re living under a rock where no highlights reach you except for LeBron’s and Curry’s, I find it hard to believe that you couldn’t resist becoming at least a little hyped for what Markkanen is doing…

Justin Holiday 25 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

I never thought, when Justin Holiday came into the league, that I would ever be making highlights of him scoring a good amount of points as the first option (????maybe????) on a team. It’s really amazing. From mega scrub who only made a team because his brother was on it to out of the league…

Jayson Tatum 22 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

Jayson “JayTay” Tatum achieved a great statistical feat tonight: the famed “scrub by five”. If you’ve never heard of such a thing before, let me illuminate matters: it means a player got at least 2 of each of the 5 statistical categories. The other thing about scrub by fives is that only scrubs/role-players/detritus can get…

Donovan Mitchell 19 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2017)

This description will have to wait until I am finished reading the Wikipedia article about Eurobeat. Okay? Can you wait a few minutes, or is your time too god damn precious? I thought so. ——— Wow! I have been enlightened to the intricacies of Eurobeat music, also known as Italo Disco. Who knew that Italian…
