Julius Randle 26 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

When I start having to make too many highlight videos for a player, that could mean one of three things: a.) The player is on a random hot streak that will end at some point and bring an end to the misery that encompasses my life and my very soul b.) The player has gotten…

Malik Beasley 16 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

Malik Beasley is now OFFICIALLY the best Beasley in the NBA. With Michael Beasley permanently, and unfairly, affixed to the bench in Lakerland, Malik sort of wins by default. However, even if Michael Beasley were to get minutes, I don’t think he would be as effective as Malik is. In case you missed it, Malik…

Buddy Hield 25 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

I don’t know how long we were there playing with the goats at the zoo. A long time. My 3D-printed 12-foot-tall naked purple plastic statue of Buddy Hield just never gets tired of being around cute animals, especially cute goats who are full of energy and always begging for more treats. And the bag of…

D’Angelo Russell 29 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

I know I’ve talked a lot of crap about D’Angelo Russell in the past, but when he’s smoothly hitting shot after shot from everywhere on the court, I can feel my position on him softening a little bit. And I hate that feeling. The entire point of having opinions is for them to be right….

JaMychal Green 24 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

JaMychal Green hit three three-pointers in this one, while the opposing power forward, Nikola Mirotic, failed to hit even one three-pointer despite his reputation as the superior shooter. Basically, the evidence here points to a conclusion so obvious that you can’t even call it conjecture or speculation. You can only call it truth. And the…

Lonzo Ball 13 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

Lonzo Ball must be learning from Rajon Rondo when it comes to getting high-assist games without scoring a lot of points. In fact, I just came up with a new term for a statistical achievement, “The Rondo”: when a player gets a double-double with points and assists, but gets more assists than points. I could…

Collin Sexton 23 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

It seems to me that every time I make a Collin “Sexty Time” Sexton highlight video, he’s downright abusing opposing defenses with his money midrange game. I decided to head on over to stats.nba.com, a very powerful tool that I barely know how to use, to figure out where Sexty Time fits in with the…

Kyle Kuzma 27 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

By my (biased) count, out of Kyle Kuzma’s twelve made field goals, eight of them were floaters. Some of them were more like hook shots than floaters, but the way he shoots them is like a hybrid of both, so I counted them. And, honestly eight floaters is just way too many floaters for me…

Troy Daniels 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

Is anybody else surprised that the Phoenix Suns don’t have Fulton Homes as their logo patch? Instead, they have PayPal. You would think that, with Fulton Homes ruining the Suns’ broadcast by forcing the commentators to say some stupid marketing line, they would want to make the ruination complete by getting their logo in front…

Justise Winslow 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

Attention future parents: if you think that your future child has any chance at all of being a high draft pick in the NBA, take great care in picking a name for that child that cannot be easily transformed to contain the word “bust”. Write the name down on paper and then try to replace…
