De’Aaron Fox 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

The Kings, for better or for worse, are trying to win games this year. I don’t think they have their pick, but tanking for the best second round pick is a real thing and they don’t care about that either apparently. UPDATE: turns out that a whole bunch of stuff is going on with their…

Collin Sexton 14 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

I’m sensing a lack of hype for Collin Sexton. All the picks above him in the draft (except Wendell Carter) are the focus of a lot of scrutiny and expectations. But not Sexton, at least not to the same extent as a Mo Bamba or Jaren Jackson. What’s going on. Is it because Cleveland is…

Rodney McGruder 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

Is it too early in the season to start feeling fatigue for a certain player? Given that this statement is being made in a Rodney McGruder highlight video, you can guess which player I’m alluding to here. That’s right: Rodney “Rude McGrude” McGruder. I’ve already had to make three videos for him (out of four…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

Wesley Matthews is currently averaging 19 PPG, which would be the highest PPG total of his career by far if he finished the season at that mark (his previous high was 16 PPG back in 2013-14). For all my talk in the past few seasons of his achilles injury ruining his career, his career sure…

Buddy Hield 23 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

It’s been a while since I gave you guys an update on my sentient twelve-foot-tall 3D-printed naked purple plastic statue of Buddy Hield. Over the summer we had a lot of adventures, but we still don’t go outside as much as Buddy wants ever since he killed a guy who was trying to mug me…

Brook Lopez 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

I’m not gonna lie, I was a little bit stoked when I found out that the Bucks went out and got Brook Lopez on a cheapo deal in the off-season. Do people use the term “stoked” anymore? Most people use “hyped”, but I feel like “stoked” is more about intense happiness and “hype” is about…

Lance Stephenson 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

Here’s my hot take: when Lance Stephenson goes into “dance mode”, that’s not a good thing. Obviously, while watching this video, it seems like a good thing because the video only contains successful plays; the shot goes in, the crowd goes nuts, and Stephenson’s internal hype level raises slightly. But on a team with a…

Carmelo Anthony 22 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

Carmelo Anthony makes his long-awaited reappearance on my channel, 5 years after I randomly made a vid of him scoring 40-something way before I knew what the heck was going on. I apologize for that vid by the way, and one of the good things that happened when my account got banned is that vid…

Kent Bazemore Career High 32 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

The whole world got to see Kent Bazemore have the game of his life tonight. They came for the Trae Young, but they stayed (well, maybe they didn’t stay, we’ll see what the ratings look like) for the Bazed God. Too bad the commentators didn’t make it clear enough that what we were seeing was…

Luka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (10/24/2018)

I can’t believe ESPN chose to put the pupu-platter of Hawks vs Mavericks on national TV. Did they think that people wouldn’t notice that the teams were bad if they had them go head to head? Highly-touted Euro rookie versus highly-touted Hobbit rookie is compelling, but the main thing viewers were treated to was a…
