Josh Jackson 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Josh Jackson now has the unwelcome distinction of being a player who has gotten fouled on a three-point attempt…and then missed all three free throws. He missed another set of free throws at a different point in the game as well. He’s not even a bad free throw shooter (67% before this game’s 4-of-9 performance…

Trae Young 27 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

At the beginning of the season, I may have been somewhat of a “Trae Young Hater” (I prefer the term “Trae Young Realist”, myself, since the only player I hate for no reason is Marcus Smart). However, his strong play in the past five games has me coming around him a little bit, and it…

Buddy Hield 34 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

A week ago, my whole computational situation changed drastically for the better. Buddy, who is a 12-foot-tall 3D-printed purple plastic naked statue of Buddy Hield who has somehow had life breathed into his plasticky body, fashioned a new graphics card for my computer out of spare circuitry I had lying around. This thing chews up…

John Collins Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

I feel like I’m the only one here who truly believes that John Collins was snubbed for the All-Star game. Maybe it’s because I’m sitting here making sick highlight videos for him pretty much every game, but it’s fairly apparent to me that Collins is ALREADY, in just his second year in the league, a…

Nikola Jokic Triple Double 13 Pts/16 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Going by straight points, out of Nikola Jokic’s 25 career triple-doubles, this one is the second-worst. A year ago, he put up an 11/16/11 line, so that one’s the worst as of right now, although I don’t doubt that at some point in his lengthy NBA career that he will score just ten points while…

Frank Jackson Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Frank “Frack Jankson” Jackson is only a rookie, so the “career high” designation doesn’t mean a whole lot at this point. Barring some career- or life-ending injury, he’s got at least a couple more seasons in the NBA coming his way, which means plenty of time to score more than 25 points. I’m fully aware…

Lauri Markkanen 30 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Thirteen free throws is by far the career high for Lauri Markkanen in that stat. His previous career highs were seven attempts and six makes; Markkanen nearly doubled those totals by making all thirteen of his attempts in this game. Usually, career-highs in a stat are something to be celebrated, but there is nothing more…

Bojan Bogdanovic 31 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

This is not only the highest scoring game for Bojan Bogdanovic in a Pacers uniform, it’s also the second-highest point total of his career, bested only by that 44-point game he had in his second year in the league. He’s had a bunch of 29-point games since then, but this is the first in the…

Bobby Portis 33 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Bobby Portis absolutely torched the Hornets in the first half, scoring 28 points from all areas of the court. Using the fantastic powers of your human brain, apply the concepts of mathematics to figure out how many points he scored in the second half, knowing that information as well as the knowing the title of…

Luka Doncic 35 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2019)

Luka Doncic paced impatiently in the hallway in front of the locker room door. The team bus was going to leave for the airport soon, but his food delivery from GrubHub hadn’t arrived yet. After checking the time on his phone for the tenth time in the past five minutes, he glanced up and saw…
