Marvin Williams 18 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

Nobody cares about Marvin Williams, and my time would be better spent doing literally anything other than making highlight videos for the dude, but there’s some kind of compulsion in me where I simply can’t ignore role-players scoring role-playerish amounts of points. I tell myself sternly “W-Marv has to score twenty or he doesn’t get…

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 17 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

The Hornets finally got another win after winning only one of the previous eight games, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did his best to shed the fairly-applied “bust” label by going 8-of-9 from the field and achieving the not-so-coveted “4×4” (reaching a total of four in four different stats, much easier than a 5×5). I totally didn’t…

Montrezl Harrell 17 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

Montrezl “Mon-Trezzle” Harrell is like the ultimate hustle player. Think back to the late great Jon Brockman. You think Brockman had lots of hustle? Harrell is like Brockman 2.0. No, Brockman 3.0. Not only is he Jon Brockman 3.0, but he’s also like a hybrid test tube baby of DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin. Given…

Jonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

I don’t get it. Certain advanced stats paint Jonas Valanciunas to be an absolute beast. He averages 18/13 per 36 minutes, meaning he could give you an easy 15/10 on great percentages if he was played the minutes that a starting center usually receives. His win-shares are consistently in the “sick” range. But the big…

Clint Capela Career High 28 Points/9 Dunks/5 Blocks Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

“Hey James, great game tonight, thanks for all those lobs.” Clint Capela said to his teammate, holding out an angled arm to receive a hand-clasp and hug. “You know it man,” James Harden responded, pulling Clint into a hug. “You made Cousins into a little bitch, especially when you swiped your balls right over the…

Jordan Bell 11 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

“Yes. Yes. I will create a Jordan Bell video,” I say out loud to myself as I dangerously tap my fingers together in the manner of a movie villain. “And by making it, I will expose all the bandwagon Warriors fans, who will watch only to prove that they can identify players on the team…

Jrue Holiday 37 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore must have set some kind of tandem scoring/efficiency records tonight. 16 out of 21 for Holiday, 15 out of 20 for Moore, D’Antoni-ball was in full force tonight. Both of them cooled off a bit later in the game, for a while it looked like we were going to get…

E’Twaun Moore Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

You have two cookies. You eat one. What do you do next? E’twaun Moore! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (Special thanks to YouTube user Kyle Lowry (presumably not the real deal) for that joke. You da real MVP) I chose the right Pelicans game to watch tonight. One of my favorite role-players, E’Twaun Moore, having the game of…

Andrew Harrison 16 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

Andrew Harrison is the last of the Harrison twins still in the league. Aaron flamed out after barely getting to play last year, while Andrew, even while sucking, gets to play a bunch of backup PG for the Grizzlies. If I’m Aaron, I’m super pissed, because objectively, I’m the same quality player as my brother…

Bam Adebayo 14 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2017)

Coming into tonight’s game, Edrice “Bam” Adebayo had dunked it on 21 of his 31 made shots. Can you say dunkilation? Sadly, he only dunked it on 2 of 5 shots tonight, so his dunk percentage will plummet. My hope for a nothing-but-dunk season for him ended a long time ago, but it’s still sad….
