That one stretch of scintillating basketball Dion Waiters had a few years ago was maybe the most exciting Heat basketball that had been played since LeBron left. “Waiters Island”. I don’t even know what that phrase meant, but that’s what was going on and it was really fun. So many game-winners! Well, maybe not that…

Derrick Jones 18 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
The best part about Derrick Jones Jr. getting real minutes (as opposed to garbage-time minutes) on the Heat is the possibility of a hyper-entertaining DJJ Dunkilation at the end of season gets more and more likely with each minute of on-court action. I couldn’t really care less if he’s helping the Heat or hindering them…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon 24 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
In previous video descriptions I have beseeched the people who run the Hawks television broadcast to give me more footage of Dewayne “Judge Dedd” Dedmon doing his “dialing long distance” three-pointer celebration. Well, it appears my beseechments have been acknowledged, because I was presented with several shots of Dedmon doing the celebration while I was…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 16 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
It is tough being at the forefront of the NBA nickname movement, but you know what they say about DTB…he doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. Unless the “spotlight” is him going outside and interacting with other people like a normal human being. Then he shies away from it a lot. Anyway, the challenge of…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
It’s easy to forget since he’s only in his second year in the league, but Bogdan Bogdanovic is already 26 years old. For reference, that means he’s 6 years older than Luka Doncic. And he’s a full decade (plus change) older than Giannis. You know Zion Williamson, that studmuffin who is going to be in…
Read MoreLuka Doncic Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
Luka Doncic is now the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. He is 10 days older at the time of the triple-double than Markelle Fultz was. Now, I’m just saying, if Thon Maker can pretend to be like three or four full years younger than he actually is, it shouldn’t be too…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
Taj Gibson carefully chiselled the last few bits of ice off of his sculpture, then took a step back to look at it fully. Here, in the frigid, yet sunny, expanse of lawn next to the Timberwolves’ arena, the ice-tulip seemed to glow with its own source of illumination. The curves of the petals were…
Read MorePatrick Beverley 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
Patrick Beverley is just about the worst player for me to feature on my channel. Not because he’s a boring player, but just because most of his impact comes on defense, not offense. Or so it is said, anyway. Since DTB does not care about defense and will, on principle, refuse to show defensive highlights…
Read MoreDarren Collison 19 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
If things proceed apace for Darren Collison, he will finish the season averaging under 10 PPG. When that happens, it will be the first time in his ten-year career that his scoring average is in the single digits. I would use this video description to ponder on why Collison is so passive this season, but…
Read MoreDragan Bender 12 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
“Dear Diary, Today all my big men were injured. Well, it wasn’t quite all of them, but it might as well have been, because the only two I had available to play were Quincy Acy, a man who was hastily signed and seems to be enamored with his three-point shot, and Dragan Bender, who is…
