Nikola Jokic 24 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Near the end of this game, Russell Westbrook had some choice words for Nikola Jokic. To paraphrase, since this is a family-friendly channel, he alleged that he would “mess” Nikola up. I don’t know why he thinks making threats is necessary, since no NBA player these days would volunteer to get into a fistfight in…

Zach Collins 16 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

It’s looking more and more as the season goes on that Zach “American Kurucs” Collins’ 6-block season opener was an anomaly. He’s only had 4 games since then with more than a single rejection. His per-minute numbers are still good in that category, but if anyone was expecting Serge Ibaka-esque block totals (I know I…

De’Aaron Fox 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

The last bucket you see in this video, De’Aaron Fox hitting a pull-up midrange jimbo, represents the only points the Kings scored in the last 4 minutes of this game. The Warriors scored 17 points in the same stretch and ended up winning by five. Tragedy! There’s nothing worse as a fan than watching a…

Cody Zeller 21 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Cody Zeller has shown that he can throw down power pumps when he wants do. He’s had some sick poster dunks in the past, including one already this year from a month ago, so why is he content to do the wimpiest dunks ever? I think he’s taking the ability to dunk for granted, or…

Nemanja Bjelica 18 Points Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

A win against a full-strength Warriors squad would’ve been great for the somehow-pretty-decent Kings. Unfortunately, they came up just short. Still a success in a way, but in the end it goes down as a loss in the official records. I’m just going to say what everyone watching this video is thinking right now: the…

Fred VanVleet 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Kyle Lowry has been booty (both literally and figuratively) lately, so booty that the bootiness overwhelmed his body and forced him to sit out this game. Fred VanVleet has had his share of struggles, but he’s not the one getting paid big bucks to be the leader of the team and deciding to not shoot…

Rodions Kurucs 15 Points Full HIghlights (12/14/2018)

The list of youngest foreign-born players to start for the Nets reads like a list of players I most want to make highlights for: -Rodions Kurucs, 20 years 312 days old (our hero!) -Yi Jianlian, 21 years 2 days old (there’s no way he didn’t lie about his age but whatevs) -Sergey Karasev, 21 years,…

Spencer Dinwiddie 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Spencer Dinwiddie is getting paid 1.6 million dollars this year to do his basketball stuff for the Brooklyn Nets. Now, that’s a ton of money, but for a starter-quality point guard in the NBA, that’s pennies. The Nets gave him a three-year deal back in 2016, the kind of deal that you give to players…

Kevin Huerter 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Kevin “Huert Feelings” Huerter really looks like someone who should be playing for the Boston Celtics right now. I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something about him that screams “BOSTON!”. Is it the fact that he shoots threes and the Celtics could use more three-point shooters? That doesn’t seem quite right, somehow….

Emmanuel Mudiay Career High 34 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)

Welcome to the club, Hornets fans. The club we are talking about is a very exclusive one, the “Butts Kicked By Emmanuel Mudiay Hitting A Whole Bunch Of Ridiculous Shots In An Overtime Game” club. And as I sit here watching morose Hornets fans trickling in with a face like “what the frick just happened”,…
