Cam Reddish made just four field goals, yet here I am making his highlight video before some other, worthier candidates because I’m obsessed with statpadding my view counts. Sure, 16 points is Reddish’s 7th best game of the season, but I still feel unclean for ignoring, say, Devonte’ Graham’s 28 and 8 in favor of this significantly inferior performance.
There were 85 players who played last night who made more than four field goals, from T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren (16 FGA) to RJ Barrett (5 FGA). By my inexact, rushed count, thirty of those players are already barred from my channel. So that’s 55 highlight videos that would have provided a higher entertainment value than this one, videos that, by any sane rule, should have been made first.
What I’m saying is, Reddish fans better flock to this video in droves so that the view count can be really high and I can feel better about the whole thing. Seeing big numbers always eases any stress I have. Maybe I should put LeBron and Giannis on my channel as special exceptions so I can see the REALLY big numbers. Yeah. I should do that. Also, you should watch this video three times in a row so the view count goes higher. It’s not like you’re doing anything better with your time. You’re the one who’s watching NBA highlight videos.
