Since the Sacramento Kings don’t seem to be interested in selling plush toys that are purple foxes with a fluffy bundle of black yarn for hair (to match the real-life De’Aaron Fox), I’ve gone into business making them myself. I’m pretty sure that it’s illegal for me to use Fox’s likeness without his express permission,…

Eric Gordon 26 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Eric Gordon has been extremely streaky from the three-point line this season. He’s also been very streaky in the past, but this year, the streaks tend to be more often in the negative direction than the positive direction. For every game where he shoots a high volume of three-pointers on a high percentage (such as…
Read MoreDragan Bender 19 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Unlike Dragan Bender’s last game, where he added seven blocks and six assists to his total of eleven points, this game was not nearly as stat-stuffed. The only “miscellaneous” stat the Bender accrued here was one steal. Otherwise, he was all about scoring; nineteen points is two higher than his previous season high of seventeen….
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 23 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Jahlil Okafor had only made two three-pointers before this game, one of them during his rookie year in Philly, and the other while he was in Brooklyn. Considering that his jumpshot range pretty much has a hard stop at around sixteen feet, this shouldn’t be a surprise. He’s never been, and probably never will be,…
Read MoreIan Clark 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
The lineup that the Pelicans played in this game against the Kings was missing a lot of players and had no go-to scorer that I can tell. Anthony Davis was out due to forcing a trade out of New Orleans. Julius Randle was out for some reason, probably “load management”. E’Twaun Moore’s been out for…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 26 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Terrence Ross only needed to make six shots to score 26 points. In the pre-three-point era that would have been crazy, and it’s still a bit crazy even in the three-point era. However, it’s not the most points scored this season on only six field goals. Bradley Beal scored 28 on six made shots, and…
Read MoreTyler Zeller 15 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
You might be thinking to yourself right now, “Why would Dee Tee Bee make a highlight video of Tyler Zeller scoring fifteen points when there are literally fifty players who played tonight who scored more points than that?” And if you aren’t think that, you probably should be thinking it, because on the surface, it…
Read MoreJustin Holiday Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2019)
In my opinion, if you get a career high in a game, and, on top of that, score ten points in an overtime period (which is only five minutes long), you should get to have the chance at the game-winning shot with your team down two with five seconds left. The inbounder should pass it…
Read MoreDario Saric 23 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
This is the best jumpshooting performance that I remember seeing from Dario Saric, and since I would have made a highlight video for any game where he played even remotely close to this well, I can feel confident that it is, in fact, the best jumpshooting display that Saric has had in his career. He…
Read MoreMario Hezonja Career High 30 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2019)
Mario Hezonja relaxed in his modest Manhattan apartment. The lights were dim and soft instrumental hip-hop was playing through his sound system: exactly what he needed to unwind after partying with his teammates well into the early morning. Reclined on his modern, minimalist sofa, he let the sounds of the music wash over him, soothing…
