Eleven games this year, sixteen last year, nineteen the year before that. That’s how many times Enes Kanter has scored more than seventeen. When you look at his entire body of work as an NBA player, seventeen points in a game is nothing. Just absolutely nothing. So why did I make this highlight video? Two reasons.
One, I’m pandering to Turks. From what I understand, there are still plenty of Turks that want to watch highlight videos of Enes Kanter, even if there are also plenty of Turks who definitely don’t want to watch highlight videos of Enes Kanter. I’m going to leave it at that. The point is, I’m pandering hard to them right now and I’m not hiding it. My pandering is out in the open for all to mock, ridicule, and criticize.
Two, it’s an easy video to make. After making the arduous Elfrid Payton triple-double video with sixteen assists, this is like a walk in the park on a warmish summer night under a moon visible in the cloudless sky.
Bonus third reason: the description is easy too because all I have to do is write about my motivations for making the video. That’s easy because I have motivations behind every video even if I don’t let them be known to the general public. Writing down existing thoughts is way easier than coming up with new thoughts.
That was unexpectedly profound. Damn.
