I remember making some determination as to whether Josh Okogie can be called “Okobie” or if Eli Okobo can be called “Okobe” or if both of them can use that nickname, or if neither of them can use that nickname. However, I am too unmotivated to actually go back and check DTB’S OFFICIAL NICKNAME RECORDS to verify who owns the nickname, so for the purposes of this description only, I will allow Okogie to be referenced as “Okobie”.
That seems like a run-on sentence. Better writers would not be so reliant on commas. But I am not a better writer, and, anyway, a low-scoring rookie like Josh “Okobie” Okogie doesn’t necessarily deserve my best writing anyway.
This is the kind of highlight video that I feel like can actually do some damage when it comes to forming people’s impressions of players. Here, we can watch Okobie hit four three-pointers. The video makes him look like a passable, if not competent, three-point shooter. The problem is, he was shooting 24% on three-pointers before this game, which does not count as either “competent” or “passable”. That counts as “major ball suckage”. But viewers of this video will think that his three-pointer is good and not sucking major balls. That’s what concerns me.
I guess that’s why I write these time-consuming, overwrought video descriptions. To make sure that the reality distortion field of NBA highlight videos is slightly more realistic and slightly less distorted.
