Caleb Martin 19 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

Caleb Martin scored nineteen points on only four made shots in this game. He was 4-of-12 from the field (1-of-6 from three) but hit all eight of his free throws, leaving this video at a disgusting 2-1 free throw to bucket ratio. It was James Harden-esque, and, in DTB’s world, something being Harden-esque is never…

Will Barton 23 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

I’m casting around looking for positives in this whole “NBA is suspended because of COVID-19” thing, any positives at all, and I think I just came up with one: I won’t have to make Will Barton highlight videos again for a long time. It’s not that I dislike Barton as a player. I’m actually a…

Devonte’ Graham 30 Points/8 Threes/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

It sort of seemed like Devonte’ Graham had recovered from the slump that he slumped into around the All-Star break. He had four straight twenty-point games culminating in this thirty-point performance where the Hornets came down from a twenty-point lead to easily beat the Heat, whose “hardworking culture” was no match for the Hornets’…uh…I don’t…

Boban Marjanovic Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

An extremely tall, extremely naked man lay on the smooth marble floor of the Hall. He did not stir, for at that very moment, his consciousness was being transferred from his still-awake mortal body to this new clone, which was lying dormant until it was awakened by the first spark of intelligence sending electrical pulses…

Kendrick Nunn 24 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

There’s always something nice about a tight, concise highlight video which is just buckets and no free throws (free throws are lame). My earliest videos from my now-deleted channel were often edited in a super-fast style but I’ve gotten away from that as I show more of a how play develops. Did I sell out?…

RJ Barrett 26 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

How unfair. Just as RJ Barrett gets on a roll, scoring in double digits twelve out of the last thirteen games and scoring 26 points (twenty of them in the second half + overtime) in this one, the NBA goes and postpones the season indefinitely. He was just starting to break out! The hopes of…

Derrick Jones Jr. 23 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

The Miami Heat jumped out to a 40-22 lead over the Charlotte Hornets in the first quarter of this game, partially on the back of an uncharacteristic amount of offensive contribution from Derrick Jones Jr.: He scored thirteen points in the first eight minutes of play. His unreliable three-ball was falling, he had some sick…

Christian Wood Career High 32 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (3/11/2020)

Nothing feels real anymore. I’m sitting here trying to organize my thoughts and then everything just falls apart again. Christian Wood put on the most dominating performance of his life, and completely made Joel Embiid into Joel Embiitch, but it’s like it didn’t even happen. Rudy Gobert got the coronavirus. Other players and coaches might…

Dillon Brooks 21 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2020)

OFFICIAL REASONS NOT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS 1. 21 points is not all that many for Dillon Brooks, who has spent the better part of two months transforming himself into Bradley Beal 0.8 2. Nobody cares about Dillon Brooks, not even ‘Zlies fans, so nobody will watch it 3. This video is getting…

Bobby Portis 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/10/2020)

Bobby “Dang It Bobby” Portis went OFF at the beginning of this game. He had fourteen points in the first quarter, reminiscent of some of his more high-volume scoring outbursts from his time with the Bulls (a time which was not marked only by punching Nikola Mirotic in the face, but which was also marked…
