https://youtu.be/gGvl5wOhHjw Sometimes new eras sneak up on you without you realizing that you’ve transitioned from on era to the other. For example, the industrial revolution represented a bold new era of human productivity, but the people who made the first crappy steam engine hooked up to a janky loom probably didn’t realize they were in…

LaMelo Ball 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/30/2020)
https://youtu.be/LzRpLYNwoZE Imagine, if you will, a universe where the incredble hype surrounding LaMelo Ball does not exist, where the attention paid to his family is minimal, where there has never been any such concept as “Big Baller Brand”, and where there is a special machine that lets you to mix and match Pop-Tart flavors, allowing…
Read MoreIsaiah Roby 19 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2020)
https://youtu.be/sF5B0NBdjF8 OFFICIAL DTB CONFESSION: I almost added the descriptor of “Thunder Debut” to the title of this video. The only reason I didn’t was because I went to Isaiah Roby’s basketball-reference page to verify some information. It was on that page that I saw that Roby isn’t even a rookie. I’m just going to pause…
Read MoreMonte Morris Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2020)
https://youtu.be/iEvCAMzS-x0 The last time Monte Morris set a career high, back near the end of 2018-19 season, my senses were so clouded by my #hypedforgaryharris that I almost neglected to make a video for the performance. Can you believe that? My lack of hype for Morris was so profound that I saw that he had…
Read MoreKyle Anderson Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)
https://youtu.be/5WhHb4pnklQ In honor of Kyle Anderson’s newly-minted career high, which completely blows past his previous career high of twenty and makes it almost all the way to thirty, I will revisit the things that I said in my previous video description for him (written two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBEP8wGrVAo) to see how prescient I really am….
Read MoreGary Trent Jr. 28 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2020)
https://youtu.be/iifdMwkyIHU It must be a unique kind of pain for LeBron James, who has always needed “shooters” put around him, to look over at the opposing bench and see a shooter who is way better than any shooter on his own team. To get beat by a Blazers squad let by off-the-bench sharpshooter Gary Trent…
Read MoreLuguentz Dort 26 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)
https://youtu.be/bpDd5ZgRIp0 I’m looking at the Thunder roster right now, and I’m just coming to the startling (perhaps even disquieting) conclusion that Luguentz Dort is their third option on offense. When you frame things in that context, 26 points from isn’t even really a surprise. Third options on teams score 26 points all the time. A…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 27 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2020)
https://youtu.be/hk3cNnwZh7M I need somebody to tell me right now, RIGHT NOW, why Josh Jackson shouldn’t be considered the second coming of Andrew Wiggins but better. And they need to tell me without using any of the words “overreacting”, “tanking”, “giving weed to toddlers”, or “small sample size”. Those are disallowed words. The utterance of such…
Read MoreRaul Neto Career High 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2020)
https://youtu.be/FHrEIdwvweo Be honest: how many of you, before this video appeared in your YouTube feed, could’ve named the team that Raul Neto was playing for? Note: actual fans of Neto, if any exist, don’t count for the purposes of this exercise. There’s no shame in not realizing that he actually was still in the NBA…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2020)
https://youtu.be/DQujqNwrNyY Good news, Magic fans! D.J. Augustin is no longer anywhere in the vicinity of central Florida, which means that everybody’s favorite first-overall pick can get all the minutes he wants and continue the revitalization of his career. That sub-six-foot ball-pounder can go pound the ball somewhere else (sob), and Mr. Markelle Fultz only has…
