31 points for Marcus Smart is a lot. If it wasn’t for his 37-point, 11-three outburst a month ago, this would be a career-high by far. But here’s the dirty little secret that the NBA doesn’t want you to know about this performance: It occurred in a double overtime game. As the kids say, that’s…

Zion Williamson 32 Points Full Highlights (2/13/2020)
I am currently facing a dilemma: do I, or do I not, allow Zion Williamson to continue appearing on my channel? This is a tough one. My stated rule has always been that rookies are guaranteed to be eligible for their entire rookie season UNLESS they are named an All-Star. That’s the only exception. If…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 22 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
I predict that this video will get fewer views (possible as few as zero) on account of Raptors fans being way too sad after having their precious 15-game winning streak snapped to watch this. The entire nation of Canada is in a state of mourning. Why relive painful memories of the past, as would happen…
Read MoreSterling Brown 14 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Sterling Brown is the odd man out of the Bucks’ rotation. When they acquired Marvin Williams (who, by the way, is NOT getting a highlight vid for a measly 9 points, I don’t care if it’s his debut), I was actually thinking that Brown would be the one getting waived instead of Dragan Bender. That’s…
Read MoreTony Snell 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Apparently, no one from the Bucks warned the Pistons that having Tony Snell and Thon Maker on the same team would cause no end of confusion from fans and commentators and arena announcers. When they were on the Bucks, even I had a hard time distinguishing them on the court, and it’s not like I…
Read MoreSeth Curry 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Six assists seems like a lot for Seth Curry until you remember (or learn for the first time, if you’re a filthy casual) that he had a 15-assist game with the Kings in the penultimate game of the 2015-16 season. My video for that performance sadly was purged during the DTB-pocalypse, but I still have…
Read MoreMiles Bridges 20 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Three 20-burgers (and I don’t mean “games where he scored between 20 and 29 points, I mean exactly 20) in four games for Miles Bridges, with the other one being 18. It seems like 20 is now the amount of points we can expect from him on any given night. With this new development, now…
Read MoreDuncan Robinson 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
I think I’m going to have to institute a policy for Duncan Robinson similar to the one I had to for Joe Harris: no 20 points = no video. It pained me to do that to Lumber Joe, but it had to be done; I was simply flooding the marketplace with too many low quality…
Read MoreJuan Hernangomez 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Normally I have a policy where if a player has a bad game, they don’t get a highlight video. That seems like a totally normal policy for a highlight-maker to have, right? Well, I went against it to make this video, simply because of how hyped I am that Juan Hernangomez is getting unleashed in…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Elfrid Payton can put up all the statisticals that he wants, but there’s nothing he can do to make people care about him. The little amount of care (which could more accurately be termed “derision”) that people previously had for him went away when he lopped off his hair tower and started looking like a…
