I feel like I haven’t heard enough from Lavar Ball lately. Last year and the year before, NBA headlines were dominated by Lonzo’s dad all the time. You couldn’t step foot into the NBA section of any sports website without seeing five different articles featuring the latest braggadocious Lavar soundbite. Now, it’s like he doesn’t…

P.J. Tucker 21 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
The Rockets commentators could not stop bringing up the fact that P.J. “Peej” Tucker was, prior to this game, in a three-point shooting slump so deep it made the Mariana Trench look like a bike track through packed dirt, so I enlisted the help of the invaluable basketball-reference website to help me fact-check these claims….
Read MoreLuka Doncic 27 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Normally, when a player has only two assists, I don’t bother to show them in a highlight video. I don’t even bother to look at them. It’s just not worth my time for most players. Luka “Lukadris” Doncic is not “most players”. He is the Slovenian rookie phenom who is guaranteed to be ROTY of…
Read MoreGerald Green 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Sometimes I look at dudes like Gerald Green, the dudes who have the really cool hair patterns on their head, and I think: why doesn’t my hair do that? All my hair does is sit there. It doesn’t make any patterns. How do I get my hair to grow into patterns like that? Do I…
Read MoreFrank Jackson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
Summer League seems like so long ago now. There was a lot of hype going on then, maybe not as much as the year previous (I’m still recovering from the Lonzo hype), but everyone was getting, as usual, super excited about marginal talents. Talents like, you guessed it, Frank Jackson! I’m pretty sure that he…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 24 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2019)
That’s great. Nikola Jokic sits out for the first half of the fourth quarter, the game gets out of hand, he comes in too late to stop the game from getting even more out of hand, and he sits back down after playing for 90 seconds. I understand that Mason Plumlee can do some things…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 24 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2018)
Rodions Kurucs is in the enviable position of being good enough to start while also being scrubby enough to play the final minutes of blowouts. How many players in the NBA can you say that about? With this being the case, it seems like he should get a highlight video every night. He gets to…
Read MoreDeAndre’ Bembry 17 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2019)
I don’t even know how the Hawks beat the Heat by 24. A full third of the Hawks’ wins this season have come against this Heat team. Nobody on the Hawks even scored twenty points individually but they still creamed their opponent. I’m fully aware that the Hawks have some good invidual players (DeAndre’ Bembry…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 21 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2019)
“Dearest father, The care package I received from you for Christmas was very appreciated. When I am by myself here in America, without my lovely Lucija by my side, I sometimes forget to take care of all my needs. For example, I regularly neglect to shave for days or weeks at a time, so the…
Read MoreNorman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (1/6/2019)
Norman “Normal Powenn” Powell has been broken for roughly a year and a half. I don’t know what exactly happened to cause him to break, but whatever it was, it really broke him good. His second year in the league saw him play a large role on a good team, and it only seemed like…
