I often come away from Brandon Ingram videos feeling like he’s some kind of midrange specialist who can punish players with his smooth in-between game. That just shows that even somebody like me, somebody who perfectly understands the power that a well-crafted highlight video can wield, will occasionally fall victim to the deceptions of the…

Ante Zizic 15 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
Attention Kevin Love: stop stealing minutes from Ante Zizic. And if you haven’t been stealing minutes from Zizic yet, don’t even think about doing so. Because you’re way too good for the Cavaliers right now, there’s no future for you in Cleveland, and there are young talented bigs like Antetozizpo and Marquese Chriss who need…
Read MoreMarvin Bagley 28 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
How many points per game would Marvin “Marvelous Bags” Bagley have to average for the rest of this season (post-All-Star break) for people to consider him a better rookie than Luka Doncic and therefore deserving of the ROTY of the year award? Twenty points per game is obviously not going to do it because that’s…
Read MoreCedi Osman 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
Cedi “Osric Tentacles” Osman has been playing a bit better since his disastrous November and dismal December. He’s still not anywhere near being an adequate replacement for LeBron James (who is recently re-earning his nickname of “NoDefense Suckballs” [or LeBroken-Jumper Flame-Out]), but if you squint really hard, you can kinda see that Osman has turned…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 23 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
Now that the epic Kelly Oubre Jr. vs Klay Thompson storyline which spanned twenty videos has come to an end (you can find the thrilling conclusion to the story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPYZpwSpKmA), I have no idea what to write about this guy. Theoretically I could comment on his improved play, or which star players past and…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 27 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
We know from past experience that Jusuf Nurkic doesn’t really like it when another center starts taking the minutes that he feels he’s earned. So, if there’s any risk at all to the Blazers’ signing of Enes Kanter off the scrap heap, it’s that. If the situation is sufficiently mismanaged both by coaching and by…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 18 Points Trailblazers Debut Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
OFFICIAL THINGS ENES KANTER BRINGS TO THE TRAILBLAZERS POWER RANKINGS 1. Offensive rebounds. Enes Kanter is a rebounding machine, and his machine-like rebounding is especially noticeable on the offensive end of the ball. If you were to put him and, say, John Henson in the same gym together and had them battle for rebounds, Kanter…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 19 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2019)
Hopefully I’m early enough to the party to be the first to ask the question that a few outside-the-box thinkers were maybe already pondering: do the 76ers even need Joel Embiid? ???????? Okay, I just thought about it a bit (that’s what those question marks were indicating, my deep and detailed thought processes), and my…
