Bam Adebayo 20 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

OFFICIAL DTB ANNOUNCEMENT: I am OFFICIALLY keeping Bam Adebayo on my channel. For now. But I’m watching his stats very closely. In the month of December, he’s putting up 19/11/5 on 56% shooting, and that shooting percentage is actually LOWER than his percentages for October and November. The way he’s playing right now is, simply…

Derrick Jones 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Derrick Jones Jr. already has 25 dunks this season. In just fifteen games! He’s dunking at a much higher rate than last season (62 dunks in 60 games), which can mean only one thing: This year’s DJJ dunkilation is going to be the sickest thing ever. Normally I don’t sit around wishing for the regular…

Justin James 14 Points/1 Buzzer-Beater Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

This Justin James highlight package might contain the highest levels of balls-to-the-wall, end-to-end excitement ever displayed in a 14-point performance. It’s got it all, my friends: -Three-Pointers -Buzzer-beating three-pointers -Putback dunks -And-ones (sadly without the “one”, but still awesome) James collected some other miscellaneous stats (assists, blocks, what have you) that aren’t shown in this…

T.J. McConnell 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Maybe I’ve got some biases that are showing through right now, but T.J. McConnell does not seem like the type of player who would be shooting 53% from the field. Being low-volume and taking only good shots only gets you so far in the NBA. You don’t instantly become a 50% shooter by being careful…

Jaren Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Normally, when a player’s jumpshooting form is severely borked, I would advocate for them to break it down and rebuild it. In practice, relearning how to shoot a jumper is very difficult (hence the low success rate of jumpshot reformers), but I would still advocate for it. Somebody like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, for example, who has…

Gorgui Dieng 18 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

“Dear Diary, Although I have taken many steps to ensure that the cursed white sand known colloquially as “snow” does not ever make contact with my bare skin, I must always be vigilant. Satan’s precipitation can be hurled from the clouds with very little warning. In fact, a blizzard is preferable to a brief burst…

Serge Ibaka 23 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Remember when I wrote these profound, accurate, and intelligent words in the description of a video uploaded just two days ago? “Despite the Raptors’ success with the pick and roll, I feel like Ibaka’s ability to be a midrange assassin is not being used properly right now.” Yeah. It’s obvious that somebody in the Raptors…

OG Anunoby 18 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

I’m kind of a squeamish person overall. Seeing blood either in person or on TV gives me the heeby-jeebies. Any talk about needles or shots gets me light-headed. I can’t get my blood drawn without passing out. The Kevin Ware leg break video made me not go on the internet for three whole weeks. So…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 27 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

If you’ve been following my channel for a while, you know that sometimes I have this little problem where I allow my BHL (Blood Hype Level) to get too high when a player is doing unexpectedly well. Then my BHL crashes and I suffer some type of medical emergency. This pattern repeats itself over and…

Damion Lee 20 Points Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

The Golden State Warriors won this game to get their sixth win, contrasting with their 24 losses. The Pelicans, who were the losing team in the contest, have just one more win than the Warriors. How is that even possible? The Pelicans are practically bursting with legitimate NBA talent. They have J.J. Redick, Jrue Holiday,…
