“Hey rookie.” Mike James looked up at his teammate Tyler Ulis. As Tyler expected, Mike seemed annoyed by the “rookie” reference, given that the rookie was actually five years Tyler’s senior. “What’s up, Tyler?” Tyler smirked. “I just wanted you to know that with my strong play tonight, you’re probably going to go back to…

Wayne Ellington 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Is this a new thing where Heat players salute each other after making a nice pass leading to a nice bucket? You can see salutes happening multiple times in this video. I guess it’s a cool thing to do if you want to build up camraderie and create a positive team atmosphere and all that…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
With this last 26-point effort, Dennis “Sexy Nubian Princess” Schröder is now back over 20 PPG for the season. This allows me to present my OFFICIAL PLAYERS WHO ARE SCORING 20 PPG POWER RANKINGS [RANKED ON HOW MUCH PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THEM] (NOVEMBER 2017 EDITION): 1. LeBron James 2. Stephen Curry 3. Kevin Durant 4….
Read MoreNick Young 17 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Nick Young was given the entire fourth quarter to pretty much do what he wanted. The Warriors were up by forty, and he had only taken two shots up to that point, so he made the most of the scoreboard disparity and shot the ball ten times in the fourth. Normally one thinks of the…
Read MoreJerian Grant Career High 21 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Jerian Grant: worst starting point guard in the league yeah or nah? Don’t think about it too hard: the answer is a solid “nah” because Grant is no longer the starting point guard for the Bulls. He started the first fourteen games, but has been benched in the last three games for Kris Dunn, who…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 23 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
After the sudden and tragic ending of Linsanity, Dinsanity continues apace in Brooklyn. I don’t want to sound like I’m happy that someone got injured, but I wasn’t going to get to do Jeremy Lin videos, and DinDins wasn’t going to get the playing time to show his stuff. Showcasing the unleashed talents of Spencer…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Fun fact: Bojan Bogdanovic is only averaging a point or two less than Nikola Jokic per game. Since points per game is the ultimate determinant regarding how good players are compared to others, that means Bogdanovic is only very slightly worse than Jokic. In any case, he is a top-three eastern European player. Which means…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 16 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
Fred “Vleet of Foot” VanVleet: Toronto Raptors backup point guard. That means we can expect more of this in the upcoming games, at least until Delon Wright comes back. There’s no way Lorenzo Brown is going to be taking minutes away from anybody, so playing time for the Vleeter is pretty much guaranteed. He’d already…
Read MoreJaMychal Green 21 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
People often ask if this All-Star or that All-Star will be remembered 30, 40 years from know. It’s a good question, and it helps illustrate how fleeting NBA stardom can be, even if it seems incredibly radiant at this very moment. But a more pertinent question is this: will anyone remember JaMychal Green three years…
Read MoreLance Stephenson 18 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2017)
It is confirmed: Lance Stephenson is incapable of playing well on any team that isn’t the Pacers. He just can’t do it. Something about the Pacers logo and colors makes him (sometimes) play up to his full potential. Games like this for Lance are getting rarer and rarer, sadly. It’s great to see, when it…
