Kelly “The Oubremensch” Oubre is averaging a career-high in points, shooting career-high percentages from the field, from three, and from the line, and is also averaging career highs in assists in rebounds. By any standard that you can measure (and even some you can’t measure, like facial attractiveness and “goofy yet cute antics per 36”), he is having the best year of his career.
If you’ve read enough of my video descriptions, you know what my thought processes are right now. So I’ll answer the question that has now formed in your mind: no, Kelly Oubre is not on my exclusion list. Yet. But he’s getting into danger territory by averaging 18 PPG per game. I’ve kicked players off my channel for less. But I’ve also got a neat storyline going on with Oubre where he tries to start a male-beauty-product-themed YouTube channel called “Wave Papi’s Man-Overs”. I really would rather not give up that storyline because it’s one of the few long-term storylines I’ve got going right now.
I have got an alarm set up on my phone that’s set to go off at the very second that Kelly Oubre starts averaging twenty points per game. I had to write custom code to hook into the NBA’s stats API, and I’m checking his averages hundreds of times per second to make my alarm as accurate as possible. When that alarm goes off, I’ll spring into action to add Oubre to my (heretofore unpublished) exclusion list, because twenty points per game is just way too many points per game.
