At age 33, J.J. Barea is averaging the most points per game of his career, 12.4. Unlike most players who peak around age 28 or so, Barea is peaking in his thirties, and he might not be done peaking yet. I could attribute this to a few things: his short stature which means he only…

DeAndre’ Bembry 12 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
I made this whole video and I still don’t know the answer to my question: can DeAndre’ Bembry shoot the ball? We can conclusively conclude that he has the ability to finish at the rim, and that he can shoot free throws (which, while a form of shooting, is not quote-unquote “shooting”), but we cannot…
Read MoreRobert Covington 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Prior to this game, Robert Covington had made ten out of his last 43 attempts from threeworld. This included a 0-of-9 effort against the Cavaliers. Covington’s slump coincided strangely with his brand new contract extension, but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and not just assume he played out of his…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Almost subconsciously, I have developed a personal “tier” system to help me categorize and keep track of the point guards in the league. And, to me, Reggie Jackson is in the tier right below the “fringe all-star” tier. The only problem is, that particular tier doesn’t have a name. Reggie Jackson is occupying that tier…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 12 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Jarrett Allen is who I wanted the Bucks to draft this year. I’m not the greatest evaluator of talent in the draft, and I readily admit that my main motivation was to get that wonderful afro on my team so I could look at it all the time. It’s so perfect. Just a perfect sphere…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
I’ve gotten to the point in my Bucks fandom where I simply yell “KHASH MONEY DEUCES” in a raspy voice every time Khris Middleton makes a midrange jumper. I blame Gus Johnson for inventing the phrase. It’s so catchy. If he makes a three instead of a two (not as often an occurrence this year),…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 18 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Trey Lyles, at this point, may be one of the most forgotten men in the NBA. Hardcore Canadian nationalists may still remember his existence, and Nuggets fans also, but that’s about it. He was anonymous even as the 12th pick in his rookie year, and he’s only gotten worse since then. It took Paul Millsap…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
Attention circus shot fans: Meyers Leonard makes the season’s best circus shot at 0:47 of this video. Attention Meyers Leonard fans: Meyers Leonard scores a season-high 17 points at 0:00 of this vid. Attention Blazers fans: Why doesn’t Meyers Leonard play more minutes? I think I already know the answer. Because he is one of…
Read MoreTobias Harris 27 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
I’ve made a lot of Tobias Harris highlight vids over the years. Over 50, in fact. He’s been a favorite of mine since his rookie days with the Bucks, and that’s never going to change. Does this particular vid distinguish itself from any of the countless other Tobes vids you can find on this channel?…
Read MoreJamal Murray 28 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2017)
The low amount of beefing going on in the NBA this year was starting to annoy me. Basketball by itself is all well and good, it’s fine or whatever, but when two opposing players start beefing it up, that’s when I really get excited. I can only enjoy the NBA without WWE-esque storylines for so…
