Myles Turner 22 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Myles Turner is the league’s leading shotblocker, both in terms of raw blocks and blocks per game. And that’s in only 28 minutes per game. If he played a full 36, his dominance would be even more pronounced. As it is, the league is kinda lacking in a single player who is way above everyone…

Alec Burks 21 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

I always thought that having Alec Burks and Rodney Hood on the same team was kind of an avoidable redundancy. The Jazz solved that particular problem by getting rid of Hood to the Cavaliers, but then they burned the Cavaliers by giving them Burks as well. Do they realize that LeBron isn’t there anymore and…

Dwyane Wade 22 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Dwyane Wade isn’t even that old. He’s only just turned 37; it’s not like he’s out there Dirking it up, barely able to move. He can still do things on the court. 14 points per game is a totally legitimate amount of points to be scoring. What I’m trying to get at here, is that…

Evan Fournier 25 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Going into this description, I was planning on criticizing Evan Fournier for his, frankly, pathetic block numbers. He only has 8 on the season, and it’s not like he’s even that short. But then I looked at his previous seasons, and aside from last year where he had 16 (!!!!!), this is actually already his…

Bojan Bogdanovic 24 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Bojan Bogdanovic started this game off with a personal 10-2 run against the Lakers, setting the tone for the devastation that was to come. I don’t think LeBron James and company ever recovered from the Croatian booty-kicking delivered in those first few minutes, eventually leading to total team collapse. YES. This is what I want;…

Jeremy Lamb 22 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Jeremy Lamb has been playing pretty well as a starter this season. For a long time I maintained that he could be the Hornets’ second option behind Kemba Walker, and guess what? I was right. He might be one of the least-potent “second options” in the league, but it’s not a total disaster, and the…

Mitchell Robinson 13 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

The problem with being a dunking-only bigman is that, if your teammates don’t feel like getting you the ball where you can do something with it, you don’t get to score any points. That’s part of the reason a player like Rudy Gobert, who is somewhat reliant on feeds from other players, isn’t quite as…

Dennis Smith Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Behold: a new era of Knicks basketball! This one is for real this time. If you didn’t like the Toney Douglas era, the Toure’ Murry era, the Langston Galloway era, the Jimmer Fredette era, the Sasha Vujacic era, or the Ron Baker era, fear not! This new Dennis Smith Jr. era will be way better…

Jake Layman Career High 25 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

Another highlight video ruined by “Players Only baby!”. Not to make you sad or anything, but imagine how good this video would’ve been with Lamar Hurd exclaiming “Fear the Turtle!” as Jake “Matchup Nightmare” Layman scored bucket after bucket. He probably would’ve made some puns involving cuts and back-doors and combinations thereof. Instead, we got…

Collin Sexton 27 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2019)

The “rookie wall” is a real thing (I’ve seen it and it has all sorts of crude graffiti on it), and not only is it a real thing, but it’s a real thing that Collin Sexton succeed in running into head-first. I had been feeling like I hadn’t made a Collin Sexton highlight video in…
