February was not the best month for dunks (even with the leap day giving everybody a bit more time to get some good ones in), but we’ve still got a good collection of the NBA’s best wham-jams from that month. As always, I have provided some of my own commentary on this dunks for your…

Elfrid Payton 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
I was hesitant to make this highlight video for Elfrid Payton because his 18/9/8 line was almost a triple-double, but not quite a triple-double. A lot of “almost triple doubles” are actually mediocre from a statistical perspective; this one is okay, but Payton neither scored twenty points nor got ten assists, so my first thought…
Read MoreJerome Robinson 14 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
By the time that Jerome “Biggest Draft Reach Ever” Robinson’s stint on the Clippers came to an end, Clippers fans were just totally done with him. Totally done. Robinson had an okay, but not great, rookie season, but he played very limited minutes and it was hard to tell if he would do better in…
Read MoreJaKarr Sampson 14 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
For some reason I have this idea stuck in my head that JaKarr Samspon was supposed to be in China. Was that this off-season? Or the off-season before that? Or during one of the NBA seasons? There’s this inkling in my mind that some team (Bulls? Pacers?) rescued him from a stint in China where…
Read MoreJosh Hart 19 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
One thing I’ve been noticing lately is that national broadcasts of Pelicans games are overwhelmingly Zion-oriented. And when I say overwhelmingly, I’m not being hyperbolic. It’s like other players on the Pelicans don’t even exist, and if they do exist, they only exist on order to support Zion. Even when other players make a good…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 16 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
Check it out, Suns fans: that guy you gave up on, that top pick that you cast away after only two years, check out what he’s doing now! He’s contributing solid minutes to a playoff team! You guys wouldn’t know what it’s like to be a playoff team, probably because you don’t have him anymore….
Read MoreJordan McLaughlin 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
I still don’t know a whole lot about Jordan McLaughlin, but I do know this: he’s not Jeff Teague. This fact should be extremely comforting for Timberwolves fans, and I’m sure they realize it very clearly by this point. Teague was, according to them, the worst. Just the absolute worst. They hated him. I never…
Read MoreMichael Carter-Williams 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
I found it funny that the Magic commentators mentioned how Michael Carter-Williams was shooting threes with a lot of confidence. Yeah, of course he shoots them with a lot of confidence. He’s always done that. It doesn’t help him make them, at all, but he’ll let it fly if he wants. MCW is a confident…
Read MoreTrey Lyles 19 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
Trey Lyles has finally started picking up the scoring, but I don’t think there’s any realistic amount of scoring he can do that will make up for the half-season (plus a few games) of not even looking at the rim that he did. If we’re talking amount an unrealistic amount of scoring, sure. If he…
Read MoreDerrick White 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
Everyone was so hyped for Derrick White after his playoff performance last season (was it only last season? feels like an eternity ago now… the only way to mark the passing of time is by measuring how much further White’s hairline has flown up his forehead). That hype was very real, but it is absolutely…
