I have what some may call an irrational appreciation for Bryn Forbes. He’s just a small mediocre shooter without any other notable attributes, you say. And you may be right. But he holds a special place in my heart because he reminds of love cruelly wrested. He reminds me of Rashad Vaughn. Vaughn, who is…

J.J. Redick 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
J.J. Redick is one of those rare players who seemingly just keeps getting better. Or if not better, not measurably worse. Aside from that forgotten stint in Milwaukee (worse big three ever, Redick Ellis Jennings), he’s been on the upswing his whole career. It’s easier when you start off as slow as he did, so…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 31 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
The best Orlando Magic-related thing to happen all summer was Evan Fournier tweeting a picture of his newly restored hairline with the text “@KingJames hit me up bro”. It’s risky, as a role-player of Fournier’s caliber, to diss a superstar (and by extension, his army of nuthuggers) over a non-basketball attribute, but I thought it…
Read MoreNikola Vucevic Triple Double 27 Pts/13 Rebs/12 Asts Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being “not wanting to disrupt the flow of time at all” and 10 being “mad desire to manipulate temporal reality”, how much does Nikola Vucevic want to make a time machine so he can go to some period of NBA history where his 27/13/12 triple-double is…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Triple Double 35 Pts/12 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (10/19/2018)
Full title of this video since YouTube is oppressing me with restrictive character limits: “Nikola Jokic Triple Double 35 Points/12 Rebounds/11 “Assists”/4 Steals/0 Missed Shots/0 Turnovers/1 Dunk/5 MVP Chants/1 Bewildered Rookie Dominated Full Highlights (10/19/2018)”. This was, almost literally, a perfect performance by Jokic. He missed a free throw and had some personal fouls. Other…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 26 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
Someone is conspiring to prevent me from uploading these Luke Doncic highlights. Right about the time I started watching this Mavericks game during the second half (while watching the Brewers on my other monitor, RIP), my internet started totally crapping out. Like, I was getting download speeds in double-digit KILOBYTES. I was having trouble loading…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 12 Points Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
I have decided that it’s okay to call players the “Next Dirk” as long as Dirk Nowitzki remains in the league. Once he retires, though, we’ll have to pick a new comparison for tall white three-point-shooting Euros. Maybe Porzingis? Markkanen? Neither of those dudes is quite as impactful as the Big Schnitzel, but they’ll have…
