I’ve kinda lost track of how many fanbases are disappointed with Trey Lyles at this point (I’m pretty sure it’s three, but it could be more, because maybe Knicks fans are disappointed with him even though he’s never played for them), but I don’t care about their opinions. They might know better than me, having…

Marcus Smart 26 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
The Celtics need to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror (or as Tommy Heinsohn would say… “in the showah”) after this loss to the Rockets. Marcus Smart is known for being a tenacious defender. So why is he being forced to take 22 shots, 15 of them threes? That’s just not…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 22 Points/20 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Although the title of this video notes that Jonas Valanciunas had twenty rebounds in this game, giving him the third 20/20 game of his career, the rebounds themselves are not actually depicted. Nobody wants to watch rebounds in a highlight video because rebounds are often just something that happens. An average joe off the street…
Read MoreCoby White 22 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Okay, so Coby White wasn’t going to keep scoring thirty points in every game from now until the heat death of the universe when all atomical motion has halted. That just wasn’t realistic. I may or may not have gotten carried after White scored thirty in three straight games. Declarations may have been made which…
Read MoreRJ Barrett 19 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
RJ Barrett went 3/4 from three in this game. Considering that he’s shooting around 17% from the threezone in the month of February, the shooting performance depicted here is a sight for sore eyes. And there are no eyes sorer than those of Knicks fans right now. No amount of tears can assuage the soreness…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 22 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
While I was browsing through De’Andre Hunter’s basketball-reference profile, searching desperately for any scrap of statistical insight that I could puff out into a full-length video description, my eye happened to fall on his minutes per game this season: 31.2. Since he played 38 minutes tonight, maybe his average will go up to around 32…
Read MoreDragan Bender 13 Points/4 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Tonight, the entire citizenry of Croatia, from stately Dubrovnik, crown of the sea, to glorious Zagreb, crown of the mountain valleys, was surely tuned in to watch this matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns. Representing Croatia for the Warriors was Dragan Bender; for the Suns, Dario Saric repped the beloved homeland…
Read MoreMychal Mulder 14 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
It’s always exciting when I get to make a highlight video for a player whose existence is so cloaked in mystery that I don’t even know what they look like. I watch their first bucket with anticipation, for that gives me the chance to see them from the zoomed-out broadcast angle where their physical features…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 23 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Mitchell “Big Shot Mrob” Robinson just set a new career-high tonight by doing two things and two things only: -Catching lobs -Grabbing offensive rebounds and immediately going back up with the shot If that sounds rather limited to you, you’d be right. Certainly, most players who score 23 points will do so with more variety…
Read MoreJa Morant 27 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
ESPN has been trying to stir up some debate or whatever by insinuating that Zion Williamson is in the convo for the ROTY of the Year award. I don’t think any reasonable person thinks that he is, but ESPN (and other media outlets of the same ilk) is in the business of driving engagement to…
