James Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

“Where’d you get that food?” James Johnson leaned back in his chair as he munched on nachos from a battered-looking, greasy Taco Bell box. “I snuck it in my bag,” he said smugly, interpreting the look on Kelly Olynyk’s face as one of jealousy. “Do you not remember how coach held you out due to…

Ben McLemore 14 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

It hasn’t been as long as you think since Ben McLemore did anything notable on an NBA basketball court; he somehow managed a 20-point game last season. This despite only appearing in 19 games and only making 25 shots the whole year. Given those circumstances, that 20-point outburst was probably the least likely performance of…

Dejounte Murray 18 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

For a stretch from the 10-minute mark of the fourth quarter until there were one-and-a-half minutes left, Dejounte Murray was the only Spurs player to score. Normally 16 points in a row for a single player is really good, but over that long of a stretch, it becomes less “wow that guy took over the…

Wendell Carter 20 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

Wendell Carter needs to do more to raise his profile on the national level. He was making decent progress his rookie season, but all that got reset once he got injured and disappeared from public consciousness for several months. Because right now, I’m looking around, I’m searching the deepest crevices and crannies of the internet,…

Boban Marjanovic 12 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

It pains me to have such low standards for what constitutes a performance deserving a highlight video, but the teams who keep acquiring Boban Marjanovic leave me no choice. How many teams in a row is it now where he’s been marginalized to heck and back and then back to heck for a second time?…

Marcus Morris 28 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

Am I allowed to just ignore Marcus Morris’ existence? You guys are (which is proven by the view counts), why not me? I don’t want to think about him, I don’t want to think about his brother, the only Morris I want to think about is Monte but he’s sucking too. This is my channel,…

R.J. Barrett 22 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

I lost track a long time ago of how many hyped college scorers came into the league and then took forever before they were any good at scoring, if they ever became good at all. It happens over and over again, and it will continue happening over and over again until the only thing that…

Chris Clemons 16 Points Rockets Debut Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

First off, I want to state how impressed I am with Chris Clemons’ second career game action being a legit block. Dudes who are 5-foot-9, like Clemons is, don’t usually get rejections as emphatic as his was. Most of the time, you’re not surprised when they go a whole season while only getting 1 or…

Meyers Leonard 21 Points Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

I was going to ask as the opening sentence to this description, “are the Heat for real?”, but then I looked at their games so far and have determined that they aren’t for real. Sorry Heat fans, but it’s going to take more than a single win against a good team to convince me that…

Duncan Robinson Career High 23 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/3/2019)

I am seriously digging the fact that the Heat are starting a guy like Duncan Robinson. But this is nothing new for the franchise. Remember back a few years ago when they were starting a totally useless Luke Babbitt (I was going to make a joke and say “LeBron James” but I decided to leave…
