DeAndre’ Bembry 16 Points/6 Assists/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

DeAndre’ Bembry’s astoundingly low popularity on my channel is disappointing, but not unexpected. He’s not really a flashy player, nor a particularly good one, but he’s been playing well enough to get a steady stream of videos from me that garner anywhere from three hundred to nine hundred views a piece. Honestly, it’s gotten to…

Lonzo Ball 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

It fills my heart with gladness when I see Lakers fans struggling with the fact that their young core of players (especially the duo of Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball) are just not that good right now. It’s no secret that those two have struggled mightily with LeBron out for a significant amount of time….

Jabari Parker 18 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

It’s been roughly a month since Jabari Parker was forcibly removed from the Bulls’ rotation. Occasionally, he would randomly play a few minutes here and there, but mostly, he’s been collecting DNP’s. And butt splinters from riding the pine for entire games. In that time, the Bulls organization has been looking to trade the guy….

Bojan Bogdanovic 20 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Through roughly the first third of the season, Bojan Bogdanovic was shooting above 50% from three on something like four attempts per game. That was like the one time in my entire life where I was happy to be on planet earth as a member of the human race. The whole rest of my life…

Malik Beasley 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Malik Beasley put up a very empty statline tonight with 22 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 steals, and 0 blocks. I would say it’s the “Tony Snell Special”, but Snell usually doesn’t score that many points. I did a quick search on games matching that exact statistical criteria (thanks basketball-reference, you are the real…

Justise Winslow 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Remember at the beginning of the season when I was getting extremely annoyed by having to make constant Rodney McGruder highlight videos? Actually, you might not remember that because nobody was watching those videos in the first place. And that was part of the problem. McGruder kept scoring in the mid to upper teens and…

Jerami Grant 21 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Last season, Jerami Grant had 70 dunks. That should have been enough for a Jerami Grant Dunkilation, but either I didn’t realize that he had that many dunks, or I did realize and was too lazy to do anything about it. Whatever the reason, a dunkilation didn’t happen and an entire season’s worth of spectacular…

Kevin Huerter 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Kevin “Butthuert” Huerter, with his seventeen points in this game, didn’t quite match the 29 points he scored two games ago to help knock off the Sixers, but the result was similar, as the Hawks beat a Thunder team that’s “allegedly” “good” while being “led” by “Russell Westbrook”. Butthuert AKA Kevin Huerant did little to…

Trae Young 24 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Is Trae Young the second coming of Pistol Pete Maravich on the Hawks? I’m about to do some digging to find out, keeping in mind that I don’t watch a lot of old NBA film and most of my knowledge about these old heads is sourced from mainstream media and Wikipedia. Both Young and Maravich…

Alex Len 24 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2019)

Just for fun, I looked at some pictures of Alex Len’s home town in Ukraine, Antratsyt. Big props to them, or at least the people who curate their photos on Google Images: it’s not nearly as gray and depressing as I imagined! There are some commieblocks, but that’s to be expected. Other things that Antratsyt…
