Nikola Jokic just set back Serbo-Turk relations a couple centuries with the way he abused Enes Kanter tonight. I feel like I should double-check my historical facts to see if the Ottoman Empire ever abused Serbia or if Serbia ever abused the Ottomans or if they were even enemies at all or if they had…

Seth Curry 18 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
The commentators in this game brought up an interesting factoid (one could even call it a “fun fact”): in 149 (now 150) career games, Seth Curry has not dunked it even one time. He’s only 6’2″ and he’s never had a reputation for being a supreme athletic specimen, but still. He’s an NBA player and…
Read MoreBrook Lopez 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/1/2019)
In honor of Brook Lopez’ 25-point performance being my first vid of the new year, let’s take a look at the first vid of all the other years I’ve been assembling these cursed highlight packages. 2013: Carmelo Anthony 45 Points. I don’t know what I was thinking with this one. Obviously, at this point, Anthony…
Read MoreMyles Turner 20 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
Myles Turner is right there in the running with D.J. Wilson for the “Player Who Most Looks Like a Roided-Out WNBA Player” (PWMLLAROWP) award. Both of them have the “ponytail high up on the head” thing which is a common look in the WNBA. However, Wilson loses points because he has facial hair. I could…
Read MoreNerlens Noel 15 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
It’s really hard to argue in favor of more minutes for Nerlens Noel, given that Steven Adams has a stranglehold on the center position in OKC and is having a great season. However, I would like to offer the following counterpoint: Nerlens Noel should be getting more minutes. That’s not really a counterpoint, but that’s…
Read MoreGerald Green 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
OFFICIAL GREENHOUSE STATUS UPDATE: (reminder: “Greenhouse” is my nickname for the sweet-shooting, mega-dunking tandem of Gerald Green and Danuel House) The Green part of the Greenhouse scored eighteen points on six-of-eleven three-pointers. He didn’t have any dunks, but his three-pointers were definitely of the “sick” variety. No stand-still catch-and-shoots here. The House part of the…
Read MoreDanuel House 16 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
Seeing the name Danuel House reminds me of his nickname, “House Party”, and the concept of a house party serves as a neat transition into the real meat of this video description, which will describe how the events of New Year’s Eve unfolded in the DTB household. Sorry Danuel. You’re getting ignored from here on…
Read MoreJohn Collins 22 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
The more games like this that John Collins racks up, the more I’m becoming convinced that he could be an All-Star THIS YEAR. Not sometime in the distant future, not next season, but this season. If he continues on this trajectory, he’ll be averaging 20/10 by the time mid-February rolls around. Just saying. Here’s a…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
Davis Bertans is very close to entering the prestigious “50/40/90” club. There are rate limitations to be officially inducted, but I’m pretty sure that if you have the numbers and sneak in while the bouncer is occupied trying to keep Shaq out, no one’s going to kick you out once you’re inside. Bertans is less…
Read MoreJaylen Brown 30 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2018)
The biggest news from this game: Jaylen Brown went 7 of 8 from the stripe. That’s right up there with his famous and oft-replayed 7 of 7 performance back in February against the Hornets. Do you remember where you were when he had that perfect night? I do. I was making highlights at my computer…
