Nick Young 20 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (11/30/2014)

YouTube is getting smarter. Now, whenever I go to tag a video with the name basketball player, it helpfully autocompletes to something like “Wayne Ellington (Basketball Player)”. Helpful! In this case, though, something got a little messed up, as it suggested “Nick Young (Celebrity)”. This is a poor omen. It’s true that I don’t take…

Aron Baynes 13 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (11/30/2014)

Taking a circuitous route around San Antonio, the bus attempted to corral its first passenger. A sad face could be seen looking out the window before turning away. “Yo, Henry, you said that this was gonna be a smash hit. But we don’t even have a single participant yet!” Henry, the coordinator of the endeavor,…

Shabazz Muhammad Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2014)

If you are anything like me (6’5”, rippling muscles, exquisitely proportioned face, perfect jumpshot) you were really looking forward to watching the Timberwolves this year. Ricky Rubio throwing lobs to Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine? Pekovic pekking the crap out of opposing centers? Anthony Bennett not being a bust? They had an exciting thing going…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 23 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/30/2014)

The peril of a being a highlight compiler is that, despite my efforts to watch all the teams, I end up seeing more of the good than the bad when it comes to players. That’s just how it is. So imagine my surprise when I find out that Kentavious is shooting under 36% on the…

Jason Terry 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

If I ever want to relive good memories, I go back to watching highlights of the Mavericks dropping 20 three-pointers on the Lakers in the 2011 playoffs. Jason Terry hit nine out of ten threes in that game, and he did a lot of that “flying airplane” celebration that’s both lame and cool at the…

Ersan Ilyasova 18 Points Full Highlights (11/29/14)

Ersan Ilyasova is doing Ilyasova things so far this season. Namely, starting off really badly and then improving as the season goes along. Does this dude just not work out at all during the summer? He didn’t even have the “Gotta play for my national team, Egemenlik, kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir” excuse this year. Anyway, his…

Donatas Motiejunas 20 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

From the fabled lands of Lithuania comes Donatas Motiejunas, a proud warrior whose Lithuanian blood is pumped by a heart made out of pure Baltic steel. Said to have descended from King Mindaugas himself, Motiejunas is a shining example of the strength and purity of the Lithuanian race. A kingdom which once spanned parts of…

Charlie Villanueva 11 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

Charlie “Alopecia” Villanueva has always been an absolute chuckmaster. When he gets in the game, all he ever looks to do is score. This can be a valuable trait, and in fact, it was a valuable trait for the first few years of Charlie’s career, but his percentages now range from “pathetic” to “sad”. If…

K.J. McDaniels 21 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

Pop quiz time (I hope you studied). On this quiz, there’s just one question, so it shouldn’t be too hard unless you’re a moron. Question 1: How Much of a Beast is K.J. McDaniels? a.) Not much of a beast at all b.) He only looks like a beast because everybody else on his team…

Dennis Schröder 12 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

It was early in Atlanta, the city just making its first stirrings of activity. The morning sun had not yet begun its slow ascent over the horizon. The clock struck 6, and the alarm sounded. It may has well not have. Dennis Schröder, his body trained to a strict daily schedule, had already awoken the…
