Derrick Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

All I want for Christmas is to be able to dunk like Derrick Jones Jr. can. Is that so much to ask? It is, because there are only a few people with his dunking ability and most of them are in the NBA solely because of that (even James White managed to get in eventually…

Jalen Brunson 13 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

This is, apparently, what the Mavericks look like when they have a real point guard (“real” implying shortness, which Jalen Brunson definitely has) instead of their normal setup of Luka Doncic doing everything. And it looks good! The Bucks weren’t expecting this to be such a tough game, and it cost them, as the Mavericks…

Tristan Thompson 18 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

Tristan Thompson has been a Cavalier for a long time. This is his ninth year with the team. He’s seen them be bad, then good, then bad again. He’s experienced the euphoria of winning a championship. He’s experienced the agony of winning just nineteen games in a season. He’s played with superstars like Kyrie Irving…

Frank Kaminsky 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

Deandre Ayton is just coming back from roid vacation (his entourage will tell you it was diuretics but we all know why Ayton was taking diuretics…it was because of all the steroids he needed to pee out of his body) and that means bad things for Frank Kaminsky, who has been enjoying an extended run…

Bryn Forbes 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

This highlight video of Bryn Forbes scoring eighteen points by hitting six three-pointers might be the quickest a highlight video has ever finished in terms of elapsed game time. By halfway through the second quarter, Forbes is done scoring. He does nothing else in the game other than miss shots, foul, commit turnovers, and rebound,…

Kyle Korver 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

Props to Kyle Korver for being the only Buck to show up tonight besides Giannis Antetokounmpo. Their forces combined (17 for Korver, 48 for Giannis, basically equal) were almost enough to take down the Mavericks, who were missing a certain player who I shall not name because his absence has been mentioned too many times…

Seth Curry 26 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

After this impressive win against the Bucks, now is the time to advance the theory that the Mavericks are better without Luka Doncic. Such a theory is often called the “Ewing Theory”, named after Patrick Ewing Jr., who played 9 games for the New Orleans Hornets in 2011 and really sucked, making no buckets in…

Ben McLemore 17 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

How the fudge did the Rockets win this game? They were down by so much, I think it was 26 at one point. And then I look at the boxscore and the final score is 109-107 in their favor? I have two monitors that I use for highlight-making, but I think I might need a…

Bruce Brown 20 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

Bruce Brown was basically useless on offense last year. He started a whole bunch of games for the Pistons as a second-round rookie, which is actually pretty cool and a nice accomplishment (not even being sarcastic right now), but he didn’t DO anything. He played defense, which is technically something as opposed to nothing, but…

Kelly Oubre 24 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)

This is already my 10th Kelly Oubre vid of the season. That’s more DTB love than almost any other player has received, the exceptions being Tyler Herro (who has 11 vids), and Devonte’ Graham (who has 16, oh my god, how did he turn into such a beast). Now, I love me some Kelly Oubre….
