While scrounging around for material for this video description, I honed in on Grayson Allen’s effective field goal percentage, which, at 45.2%, seems somewhat low to me. Full disclosure: I don’t know what effective field goal percentage is or what mathematical sorcery has to be undertaken in order to compute it. All I know is…

Darius Garland 17 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
If you just ignore all the context surrounding the game, including seemingly-pertinent details like the score, and focus ONLY on Darius Garland scoring these 17 points, you can come away with the impression that this ISN’T the most depressing “highlight” video ever made. The second you look at the final score of the game (which…
Read MoreTrey Burke 21 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
An unheralded inter-position battle is happening right now in Philly: Trey Burke is going against Raul Neto in the battle of former Jazz midget point guards. Right now, Neto is winning, which comes as a bit of a surprise to me (Jazz fans will probably not be surprised, though). He was always so marginal in…
Read MoreMike Scott 21 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
Mike Scott had the offseason that all NBA players dream of: the kind where you go around and beat up NFL fans. What could be better than going to a tailgate before a game and getting into a skirmish with a drunk fan? And since it’s an NFL-related issue, the NBA won’t even punish you…
Read MoreJeff Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
Jeff Green proved last year that he could still be a decent-ish scorer as long as literally no one (as in fans) paid attention to what he was doing. He averaged 12 points per game with the ‘Zards last year, a fact I know intimately because it seemed like I was making a vid for…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 26 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
If Jaren Jackson was a meatball sub, how many meatballs do you think would be on that sub? It’s a question that’s open to debate, certainly. Many of the worlds’ top minds are working on it at this very moment. But that shouldn’t stop the layperson from adding their own input to the discussion. We…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 19 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
It has come to my attention that Domantas Sabonis is averaging around 18.5 points per game this season. That’s… way more than I expected. He is scoring a LOT of points and I somehow didn’t really notice. That fact means that the last two Sabonis vids I uploaded prior to this one were depicting below…
Read MoreBen McLemore 27 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
On the surface, it may seem like James Harden had a better game tonight than Ben McLemore. After all 34 points is, following the arcane precepts of mathematics, more than 27. Similarly, 6 rebounds is more than 2, 4 assists is more than 0, 3 steals is more than 1, and 1 block is more…
Read MoreMarcus Morris 25 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
The tradition for teams who have just fired their coach is to play REALLY hard and win the next game. This happens all the time, even though teams that fire their coach midseason are almost invariably doing very poorly and are hardly able to win any game no matter how hard they play. The Knicks,…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2019)
Can some horrible team please just trade for Boban so that they can play him 30 minutes a night and have him be the centerpiece on offense? Please? I’m looking at the Knicks right now, and I’m seeing a whole lot of nothing. Why not give the loyal New York fans something to ironically cheer…
