Even after Trey Lyles’ recent mini-slump, I’d like to register my support for him to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. I do this even though there’s probably a bunch of better candidates, and you know what, I’m fine with those other dudes winning. As long as it’s not Jamal Crawford. If that…

Enes Kanter 20 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
Enes Kanter has to be one of the most layup-prone players in the league. During his time in Utah, he was not shy about shooting the midrange jumpers. He even extended his range to the three-point line right around the time he got traded to OKC. That’s what you expect from youngish players; they expand…
Read MoreTrey Burke 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
I kept doing double-takes while assembling this video. First, because my eyes kept telling me I was looking at prime Allen Iverson wearing a Knicks jersey, and second, because once I finally internalized that I was watching Trey Burke, I couldn’t believe that he kept scoring the rock and getting assists. For real though, this…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
The votes are in, and Nikola Jokic didn’t get selected for the All-Star game. No surprise there. Even the most ardent Jokiphiles had to admit that 16/10/5 on reduced efficiency from his previous year (a year that was maybe, very maybe, All-Star caliber) was not going to be enough. He’s so far out of the…
Read MoreBuddy Hield 24 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2018)
I was expecting more from Buddy Hield this season. Straight up. He finished the season so well after getting traded to the Kings, I at least thought he would keep that up. Obviously I’m a huge dumbo for (for once) actually being optimistic about a player. That’ll teach me, right? From now on, everyone’s a…
Read MoreYogi Ferrell 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Yogi “All’s Ferrell in Love and War” Ferrell just doesn’t excite me. For whatever reason, I can’t muster even the smallest amount of hype for him. Theoretically I should be able to appreciate a six-foot-tall dude who can make it rain from three, but not so with Ferrell. Maybe his face is too square, I…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 23 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
“Yo Trevor, you said you know some secret way to get into the Clippers’ locker room?” James Harden asked his teammate Trevor Ariza. James was flanked by Gerald Green, who was looking around the locker room to make sure nobody was listening too closely to their conversation. Trevor raised his eyebrows; he knew what James…
Read MoreThaddeus Young 22 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Last night’s recipient of the SORPWWOAGB award was none other than the Pacers’ Thaddeus Young. In case your brain is too small to remember what the acronym stands for, it’s the “Scrub or Role Player Who Went Out and Got Buckets” award. The SORPWWOAGB Award (pronounced “sorp woag bee”) was instituted by myself to raise…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
Domantas Sabonis pretty much gave the Suns his Saboner in this game, except he didn’t even give them the full length. He gave them like half of his Saboner. They got a taste of it. Not the full load, but a taste. They would have tasted more of Sabonis’ Lithuanian Flagpole, but Sabonis was taken…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)
What even is the nature of highlights? In the game before this one, Troy Daniels scored an even fifteen points, points that were given to him as a reward for making five three-pointers. I did not make a highlight video because fifteen points is not enough for Troy “Money Man” Daniels. Then he goes out…
