I have lately developed a compulsion to have a highlight video for a player at each stop of their journey through the NBA. If some guy played for some team for a season or even half a season, I want a video of it so that future NBA enthusiasts can see with their own eyes…

Kyle Anderson 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Kyle Anderson is getting into the “grow a beard to look more manly” trend of two years ago and, surprise, it looks like trash. Maybe he thinks that if he grows enough pubey beard hair, he can have it transplanted onto that big empty spot on his forehead. Honestly, that’s the only explanation I can…
Read MoreChanning Frye 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Okay. So Kevin Love is out for the next six to eight weeks with a broken hand (something that nobody in the locker room can accuse him of faking). This is the perfect time to test a hypothesis which I have hypothesized for some time now: Channing Frye can give you everything Kevin Love does,…
Read MoreIsh Smith 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
If Ish Smith had scored one more point, just one more point, then all five Pistons starters would have scored twenty or more in this game. When was the last time that happened? I don’t know how to check, and if I did know how to check I still wouldn’t because I’m lazy, but I…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
LeBron James tossed and turned in his reclined seat on the team plane. Normally he had no problem getting to sleep, even midflight, but now, everything seemed more uncomfortable than usual. He flipped over his pillow, readjusted his noise-cancelling headphones, and pulled his blanket over his head to block out the little light there was…
Read MoreKosta Koufos 17 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Everybody’s got their undies in a bundle over Andre Drummond’s 21/22 game against the Lavaliers (get it, because they’re holding this L? LOL [lots of laughs]), and, to a lesser extent, Enes Kanter’s even 20/20 against the Nets. But those people with their undies so bundled should unbundle their undies immediately, because what you should…
Read MoreReggie Bullock Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
The Pistons have Blake Griffin now. It will take me a while to get used to this fact, but in the meantime, we can figure out the potential ramifications the acquisition has on Reggie Bullock and his minutes. Um. Bullock is a small forward, right? Right? Yeah. Let’s say he’s a small forward. Griffin is…
Read MoreStanley Johnson Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Stanley Johnson, who is one of the worst offensive players in the league, just destroyed LeBron James and the Cavaliers on national TV, scoring a career-high 26 points, replacing the recently traded Tobias Harris. I think it is officially time for the Cavaliers to blow it up. I don’t see how they can recover from…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
There have been 18 20-20 games this season. The list of players who’ve accomplished this feat is, predictably, basically a list of the reboundiest centers in the game. Cousins (who has frickin’ THREE 40-20 games holy buckets), Drummond, Howard, Whiteside, Towns, Jordan, Antetokounmpo (outlier alert). And Enes Kanter. That’s the company Kanter is in. Elite…
Read MoreIan Clark 20 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)
Add Ian Clark to the list of players that received some attention while they were on the Warriors but then fell way off in popularity after departing. This list includes basically every role-player who has entered and left that organization in the past five years. Marreese Speights is on that list, for one. Well, I…
