Kadeem Allen 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

I was kinda wondering what had happened to Kadeem Allen. He had a really nice stretch of games at the beginning of February culminating in some double-digit scores and ultra-culminating in a 25-burger. But then I wasn’t seeing him in the boxscores anymore, so I just assumed that despite his good play the Knicks coaching…

Damyean Dotson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Damyean Dotson, in my utterly biased view as a creator of highlights (and not lowlights), has looked pretty good for the Knicks this season. There are definitely things he can improve on, but when I see a guy who can shoot jumpers coming off screens, I know that that player is for real. Because if…

Robin Lopez 22 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

I have to give a lot of credit to Robin Lopez for refining his footwork and turning into an unstoppable spinning hook shot machine these last few weeks. He’s just nailing that pivot foot to the floor, doing a couple ballerina twirls (I believe the technical term is “pirouette”), and throwing that thing in the…

Jakob Poeltl 12 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Jakob “Pink Mamba” Poeltl looks like he was enjoying the Spurs’ recent off days a little too much. I get that in Austria people don’t have to worry as much about sunburn because they only have one season, which is winter (don’t believe the lies peddled by “The Sound of Music”), and most people don’t…

Montrezl Harrell 26 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Montrezl Harrell is so damn good, man. The contrast with Cristiano Felicio in this game was startling. How can two players, equally talented (shhhhh, I’m trying to make a point here just roll with it), have such different impacts on the game? In fairness to Felicio, it’s a rare man who is gifted with the…

Alex Caruso 16 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Just as I resolutely refused to append the words “Career High” to the title of my most recent Alex Caruso highlight video (which featured him scoring sixteen points), so do I refuse to append such words to the title of this video (which also features him scoring sixteen points). My previous reasoning holds true: as…

Enes Kanter 17 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Eleven games this year, sixteen last year, nineteen the year before that. That’s how many times Enes Kanter has scored more than seventeen. When you look at his entire body of work as an NBA player, seventeen points in a game is nothing. Just absolutely nothing. So why did I make this highlight video? Two…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 14 Pts/12 Rebs/16 Asts Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Elfrid Payton has now recorded THREE straight triple-doubles for the Pelicans. I’m guessing that’s not any kind of NBA record both because Russell Westbrook exists and because the commentators didn’t lose their minds with joy at the exact moment that Payton scored his tenth point, but it’s still a Pelicans record. While the first triple-double…

Kelly Oubre 22 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

Kelly Oubre carefully placed the fourth of four iPhones on a tripod pointed at a spot in front of the locker-room mirror. The other three iPhones were also on tripods and varying distances from the apparent focus of the shot, a stool sitting in front of the mirror. “Hey Richaun, come over here and make…

Danuel House 18 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)

This is Danuel House’s first NBA action since January 14. In the intervening two months, after he ran out of NBA eligibility on his two-way contract, he has spent his time in what I call “The Desolate Contractual Void”. The Desolate Contractual Void (shortened to “DCV” or just “The Void”) is not a pleasant place…
