Bogdan Bogdanovic 23 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

This is a strangely unsatisfying Bogdan Bogdanovic highlight video. He scored 23 points, which was second the second highest point total in the game for all players, but he only made five shots. Nine free throws (out of eleven attempts) provided the rest of the pointage. When there are more free throws than field goals,…

Kevin Huerter 23 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Kevin “Kevin Huerant” Huerter convincingly beat his previous career-high in shots attempted, which was eighteen, by attempting 21 shots in this game. For a guy who’s not really known as a gunner, that’s a surprisingly large amount of shots. Maybe he had a bet with a teammate that he could shoot it twenty times. Or…

Tim Hardaway Jr. 25 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Tim Hardaway Jr. had five assists in this game. That is, nominally, a total of assists sufficient to force me to include them in this highlight video. But here’s the thing: tonight is shaping up to be an especially brutal night when it comes to role-players having large amounts of assists. My near future and…

Jonas Valanciunas 26 Points/5 Dunks/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Jonas Valanciunas definitely has a future as an actor. That’s not to say that he doesn’t also have a future as a basketball player, because he obviously does, but I’m talking about after his playing days are over. He’s got the combination of imposing presence, barbaric character, and understated handsomeness that make him a perfect…

Marcus Morris 26 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

I just did some intrepid internet sleuthing and discovered a disturbing fact: at 19.5 PPG per game, Marcus Morris is the highest-scoring player who is still being featured on my channel. The 33 players above him in the PPG per game leaderboards have either been kicked to the curb earlier in my highlighting career or…

Davis Bertans 19 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

I’ve lost track: has the roster for the three-point shootout been finalized yet? I know some dudes have definitely been OFFICIALLY confirmed for the contest, but it doesn’t seem like enough dudes have been named to round out the roster. Unless I haven’t been paying attention and all the names have been announced while I’m…

Alec Burks 30 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Showcase games are a real thing that real teams really do to demonstrate to other teams that their players have value. Showcase games might not be as effective now, in the age of analytics and easily available game tape (I just bet that teams in the 60s would regularly trade for players who had dominated…

Elfrid Payton Triple Double 17 Pts/15 Asts/11 Rebs Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Are you ready for a “vintage” Elfrid Payton performance? No you are not. You might think you are, but you aren’t. No one is. Because this is just WAY TOO MUCH Payton. Just like all those gigantic triple-doubles he had in Orlando, and in Phoenix (who even remembers the Payton era of Suns basketball?), and…

Domantas Sabonis 26 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Man. Kristaps Porzingis AKA Kristupid Porzingina could not hold Domantas Sabonis AKA The Saboner at all. KP was getting rammed by The Saboner basically every trip up the court and there was nothing he could to prevent getting bodied out of the way. Sabonis’ big meaty Saboner was so unstoppable that he didn’t even really…

Markelle Fultz 12 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

With every bucket that Markelle Fultz scores, with every assist that Markelle Fultz dishes out, with every minute that Markelle Fultz spends on the court, another brick is added to the wall which will keep D.J. Augustin out of Orlando. Permanently. That should be a comforting thought to Magic fans who have had to watch…
