Dirk Nowitzki 30 Points/1 Dunk/1 Retirement Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

Dirk Nowitzki stood on the clouds. To either side of him were ornate Romanesque columns that extended into the distance until they disappeared into the haze. Seeing nothing else to do, he walked down the colonnade with only his thoughts to keep him company. Dimly, he remembered that he had just finished playing in a…

Greg Monroe 18 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

When I think about how badly Greg Monroe’s career derailed, I legitimately get sad. Normally I don’t feel emotions, much less emotions like sympathy, much less sympathy towards well-paid famous guys, but it is what it is. I can’t deny my emotions. And my emotions whenever Greg Monroe crosses my mind are predominantly sad in…

Christian Wood Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

The Pelicans’ season is over. It was another mediocre season for the New Orleans franchise, but there’s a difference between this mediocre season and past mediocre seasons: this time around, there won’t be any Anthony Davis next season. Having him on the team always gave the fans hope for the season. Now there is no…

Bruno Caboclo 15 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

Bruno Caboclo is STEALING moves from Giannis. He’s not just borrowing them or using them. He’s STEALING them and he should give them back. Those are Giannis’ moves and other players aren’t allowed to execute them in games. In practice – fine. In summer pickup games – okay. But in real life NBA games? Giannis…

Jeremy Lamb 23 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

The playoff race in the East is too complicated for me to understand. Even though there’s only two or one games left for all teams involved (and it’s only, like, two teams – the Hornets and the Pistons), keeping track of all the scenarios and possibilities is too much for my fragile little brain to…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 28 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2019)

https://youtu.be/ZaS4x1yQbjk It has been almost exactly two years since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored this many points. April 9, 2019, final game of the regular season, he dropped 32 (on 31 shots, NICE), following up another 32-point performance he had had the previous game. If there were any Lakers fans out there who were super optimistic about…

James Johnson 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

I was all set and ready to not make any more highlight videos from the unholy night of April 7th, where fourteen games were played. All my highlight-making software was closed and I was getting ready to settle in for a night of ignoring the NCAA championship game (is it over yet?) and playing Factorio…

Luke Kornet 17 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

How jealous of his son is Frank Kornet right now? The elder Kornet, if you’re not aware (and you’re really should be), was an NBA player for the Bucks for two uneventful years. His career high was 16, scored in his 7th career game before everyone (including the Portland defenders from that night) realized that…

Ish Smith 20 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

I’m sure the Detroit Pistons have enjoyed having Ish Smith on their team, and I’m sure that Ish Smith has enjoyed playing for the Detroit Pistons. He has definitely forged a better legacy in Detroit than that other Smith guy who we all like to forget about (but is difficult to forget about given that…

Kevon Looney 14 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

The NCAA men’s basketball championship, the culmination of March Madness, an event which grips the nation’s attention for an entire month, is going on right now. They’re playing basketball right now. However, I refuse on principle to watch it, instead preferring to continue making highlight videos of NBA games. Why, you ask? Because college basketball…
