I think there should always be the option of revoking a nickname that has been assigned to a player when that player no longer lives up to the nickname. This is especially true in the case of role-players who aren’t even that old when their decline starts. For example, you would never take away MJ’s…

Avery Bradley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I want Avery Bradley to score the same amount of points (roughly 16 PPG per game) as he was scoring for the Grizzlies. Somehow, he needs to take control of the offense to the point that his unstoppable midrange jimbo becomes demonstrably unstoppable rather than theoretically unstoppable. Bradley will have to step on some toes…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 15 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Kings fans had totally given up on Willie-Cauley Stein by the end of his tenure with the Kings. Actually, they had given up on him well before he finally signed a contract somewhere else. The fans at that “somewhere else” place, the Warriors, also tired of him quickly when it turned out that he couldn’t…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
The more I think about it, the more I think that Reggie Jackson should definitely not ask to be bought out of his Pistons contract in order to pursue opportunities with a playoff team. He’s got it all right now. He’s in the perfect position for a veteran point guard looking for another payday. The…
Read MoreJohn Henson 12 Points Pistons Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
In his first game with the Detroit Pistons, playing just eighteen minutes, John Henson outdid anything that he did while he was in Cleveland by making six out of six shots and scoring twelve points. His previous season high was ten points. Is Cleveland that much worse than Detroit where players who go from one…
Read MoreDejounte Murray 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Dejounte Murray was one rebound and one assist short of finishing with a triple-double. It would’ve been good for him to get it, because that would’ve been at least one good thing to happen for the Spurs instead of the zero good things that happened for the Spurs. Actually, even if Murray did get the…
Read MoreJames Johnson 15 Points/5 Assists Timberwolves Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Behold, the power of friendship! Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell are basically the two best bros in the whole NBA, and the strength of their bond overcame whatever feeble bonds the Clippers have (at this point, the bonding that is going on over there is attempting to bond fists with faces). Russell didn’t even need…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 17 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Wayne “The Man With The Golden Arm” Ellington was mercifully granted a small amount of legitimate (that is to say, non-garbage) playing time last game, and he responded by hitting a bunch of threes in the third quarter of yet another Knicks victory. That performance entitled him to a veritable minutes bonanza in this one,…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I already regretted making a vid for Fred VanVleet’s 20 and 7 performance last game, but now I REALLY regret it. Because there is not a single person on earth who would rather watch that video than this, objectively superior, video. It is totally obsolete now. Before this game, it sucked. Now it sucks AND…
Read MoreJordan Poole 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I was kind of hoping that these last two games by Jordan “Poole Party” Poole where he scored a combined 35 points would bump him over the magical 30 percent field goal percentage threshold, but I forgot to consider that he made a grand total of 8 shots in his prior 7 games (while playing…
