It’s been a long time coming for Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Drafted by the Knicks in the 2014 draft, he ended up on their G-League (then D-League) squad. The next season, he signed some sort of training-camp deal with them and got waived before the season started. They later picked him up on a 10-day, which was…

D.J. Wilson 19 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
D.J. Wilson continues his quest to enter into the realms of NBA legendry, resolutely refusing to get fouled as he has now played 101 minutes and shot 38 times without attempting a single free throw. The record for a whole season, as basketball-reference has kindly informed me, is Mike Miller of the 2015-16 Nuggets. Close…
Read MoreSolomon Hill 22 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
There are some players who are destined to be forgotten as soon as they stop playing. Players like Carmelo Anthony. That dude scored a ton of points and left no impact on anyone’s minds. Another example: Larry Sanders. There was once a ton of hype for him, but once he marijuanaed himself out of the…
Read MoreJaren Jackson 31 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2019)
Good news, Grizzlies fans! Jaren Jackson Jr., your prized young talent who is probably the future of the franchise alongside Ja Morant, is no longer getting outplayed by Brandon Clarke! Part of that has to do with Clarke getting injured last game and not playing this one, but another part of it is that Jackson…
Read MoreJeff Green 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
I don’t hang out around enough Jazz fans to get a read on their feelings about Jeff Green, but I have to assume that you can add “Jazz fans” to “The Big List of Fanbases that Jeff Green has Disappointed in His Career” (title in quotes because the list is actually for sale both as…
Read MoreGrayson Allen 13 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
“b-b-b-B-B-BUT DEE TEE BEE!!!” you blurt unthinkingly into your viewing device. “G-g-g-Grayson Allen scored f-f-f-forty last season! How c-c-c-could you disr-r-r-respect him like th-th-that by uploading a video of h-h-him scoring just th-th-th-th-th-THIRTEEN?” Silence yourself, fool, and leave this place. Allen’s forty-point game was a single isolated incident, never to be repeated. In forty minutes…
Read MoreDelon Wright 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
It should come as no surprise that this is the most assists anyone on the Mavericks not named Luka Doncic has gotten. I am moderately surprised, though, that Jalen Brunson managed a game with 8. On the Mavericks, Doncic is the one who gets to pass the ball. If he’s in the game, your job…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
Glenn Robinson III is coming off a 0-10 game that ranks as one of the worst performances of the season, by anybody. Darius Garland also had an 0-10 game, and of course everyone will remember Joel Embiid’s recent 0-11. Embiid got clowned pretty hard for that, but since, as far as I can tell, no…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 20 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
Davis “The Greatest Shooter Drew Gooden Has Ever Seen” Bertans is, according to Drew Gooden, the best shooter that Drew Gooden has ever seen. Ever. Gooden, no exaggeration, pretty much said exactly that in this video, I’m not making it up or anything (I would never make fake news like that). This might be Gooden’s…
Read MoreRui Hachimura Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2019)
Rui Hachimura opened his eyes, looked around for a second, and then immediately squeezed them shut again. He took a few deep breaths, shook his head to clear whatever delusions might be residing there, and then opened his eyes again. The scene had not changed. He stood up, and attempted to remember what he was…
