Tyreke Evans 30 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

The good thing about the Grizzlies’ current situation (which is a talent-bereft roster, a known bad coach [J.B. “Joe Blob Dickerstaff” Bickerstaff], an injured star point guard, and a discontented star center) is that Tyreke “Reke of Putrefaction” Evans gets to constantly have throwback games to his rookie season. This is exactly the kind of…

Shabazz Napier 21 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

It took a while, but Shabazz Napier is now a better player than Shabazz Muhammad. It could just be because Muhammad is receiving literally no minutes right now, but you can not deny that Napier is scoring more points per game more efficiently than ever before. He’s actually… good! LeBron was right after all! With…

Wes Iwundu 12 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

This is Wesley Iwundu. He is a rookie for the NBA’s Orlando Magic. Due to the sorcery of a witch, the Orlando Magic are cursed with injuries to their key players. Iwundu, not being a key player, was spared the curse, and is now playing 20 minutes a game even though he is realistically a…

Spencer Dinwiddie Career High 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

What’s up with all these second/third-tier point guards getting career highs tonight? Spencer Dinwiddie, Dennis Schroder, Elfrid Payton, Austin Rivers. I only ask because those types of vids are about my least favorite to make. Mostly because they also rack up a bunch of assists, too many to ignore, when what I really want to…

Elfrid Payton Career High 30 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

Elfrid Payton just scored 30 points, which is more than he has ever scored before and maybe more than he will ever score again, and also added 10 assists for good measure, but there was not a single point in this video where I considered myself “excited”. He’s capable of putting nice stats on occasion,…

Bogdan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

A perfect night for Bogdan Bogdanovic. 6 for 6 shooting on nothing but jumpers, 3 of 3 from three. He needed a lot of help from the rim to get there, but here in America, buckets are buckets. Unlike in Europe, where enterprising rebounders could have snatched them as they were bouncing around. Don’t say…

Nikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

This isn’t a lot of points for Nikola Jokic, maybe not enough for a whole highlight vid, but I prefer to use the “FGM”, or field goals made, column of the boxscore instead of points when determining such things. He made 9 shots tonight, his fourth-most made shots of the season, accounting perfectly for his…

Dennis Schröder Career High 33 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

Dënniß ßchrööder, with this performance, has shown who the real savior of basketball in Germany is. It’s not Dirk Nowitzki, and it’s definitely not Maxi Kleber. Those two dudes are crying in their beds right now, knowing that they are obsolete. Can you guess who it is? You should be able to, if not, look…

Khris Middleton 31 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

Khris Middleton was great tonight, but I have to wonder about his potential game-tying shot with 9 seconds remaining. The Bucks had a whole timeout with which to come up with something good, like a good set to run or something, and they (probably just Jason Kidd actually) decide on “have Middleton iso against one…

Donovan Mitchell 29 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2017)

I’m trying to figure out what Russell Westbrook meant when he told Donovan Mitchell “Don’t stop” repeatedly as they met a center court after the final buzzer. “Don’t stop”. Like chucking shots? Don’t stop chucking shots? That’s got to be it. Westbrook knows as well as anyone the heights to which you can ascend if…
