De’Aaron Fox 28 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

Thanks to basketball-reference, a website without which I would probably die, I just found out that today is De’Aaron Fox turned 21 years old today. In America, a person’s 21st birthday means a lot because it’s the age when you can legally drink alcoholic beverages. So, when the clock struck midnight, Fox magically transformed from…

Landry Shamet 17 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

There are some nice-looking rookies this year, but not a whole lot of them are from the latter half of the first round. Landry “Shamwow” Shamet, taken 26th overall, is the best of the bunch. Kevin Hurter and Omari Spellman are pretty good too, but then there a bunch of players who barely see the…

Jaron Blossomgame 15 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

I am really excited to make a highlight video for Jaron Blossomgame because he just has a really cool name. “Blossomgame”. It sounds classy, but it’s also the perfect name for somebody who plays basketball, because of the obvious connection that he has a “game” that “blossoms”. With so many other wings on the Cavaliers’…

Spencer Dinwiddie 27 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

I will admit that, in the past, I have been too loose with the term “Revenge Game”. When a player plays well against a team he used to be on, I automatically assume it is a Revenge Game even if there were no hard feelings between team and player. Going forward, I will strive to…

Jerami Grant Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

22 points is Jerami Grant’s career high (if you hadn’t already figured that part out by reading the title of the video). He scored 22 points earlier this season as well, so the occasion doesn’t deserve as much celebration as it normally would, but I still allowed myself an extra Pop-Tart in Grant’s honor. It…

Buddy Hield Career High 37 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

The sirens were getting louder and I knew that we had to get out of that zoo parking lot before we were found there. I turned that van and started driving towards the exit, taking care to avoid the mutilated bodies that littered the pavement, but it then occurred to me that, by leaving via…

Deandre Ayton 23 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

The Suns are winning games. This is, by itself, not that surprising. They have some talented players and they did, after all, come in to the season with playoff aspirations (LMAO). Four victories in a row, capped by a surprisingly decisive road win over the “favorite” to go to the “Finals” out of the “Eastern…

Kris Dunn 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

This current Bulls season is a total trainwreck, just an absolute disaster of player mutinies and lost games that is certainly providing no enjoyment for any Bulls fan. Other fanbases are kind of enjoying it, but only a little bit, because they know that this could happen to their franchise at any time, as long…

Derrick Rose 33 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

Derrick Rose, as far as I can tell, is posting the best on-off splits of his career. Even better than his ones from his MVP-level prime in Chicago. Part of that is because he is a total beast who somehow came back from the dead to destroy Father Time forever, and another part of that…

Jahlil Okafor 17 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2018)

Jahlil Okafor subbed out of this game with 5:45 left in the third quarter and the Pelicans leading the Bucks 80-74. He never got back in, and the Pelicans lost 115-123. The Bucks, more specificially Brook Lopez, didn’t know what to do about him. It’s almost like people have gone for so long without seeing…
