The Knicks commentators seem to be fond of saying “STAT’s back”. Not his back like the thing that is totally mangled, but his returning to the quality of play from his old days. And if you watch these highlights, it certainly seems true. He still has the power, finishing through contact with ease. He can…

Henry Sims 10 Points/3 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
Remember the basketball hoop you could buy in the original Sims video game? Where your Sim would do a little dance if they made a basket? That’s kind of what I imagined Henry Sims’ game to be like before making these highlights. Now I know I was dead wrong – Sims does not do any…
Read MoreTrey Burke 23 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
Everyone remembers with fondness when T-Mac had 13 points in 33 seconds. Right? It’s one of those YouTube videos that every NBA fan has watched like 10 times. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen it. Seriously? Leave. Anyway, yeah, that was pretty great. Fun times. But what if I told you there was a guy…
Read MoreKyle Korver 26 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
Quick quiz: how long was Kyle Korver’s streak of consecutive games with a made three? Answer: No one knows, because it’s the kind of achievement that is forgotten instantly, by the entirety of humanity, once it’s over. Google might know. But that thing isn’t human. Anyway, now we can watch Korver play without worry or…

In the midst of the nightmare carnival that is the Knicks’ season, there isn’t much to be happy about. Carmelo Anthony is good, I guess. But Stoudemire is old and overpaid, they have a lame-duck coach, Spike Lee exists, Chandler doesn’t care any more, they don’t have a pick this year in a stacked draft,…
Read MoreMarcus Thornton 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2014)
Marcus Thornton has been wildly inconsistent this year. With the Kings he had a 42 point outburst bookended by streaks of horrible games. And he hasn’t done much better with the Nets, alternating between good games like this and games where he scores under five. He’s always been a streaky shooter, so I guess this…

Read MoreAndre Drummond 18 Points/22 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/9/2014)
So apparently Andre Drummond is no longer going out with Jennette McCurdy. It escaped my notice that that relationship ended a long time ago. I can imagine the conversation: “Oh Andre you have so many good qualities but how am I supposed to tell my friends that I’m going out with a guy who can’t…
Read MoreJeff Green 27 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2014)
Whistling a made-up tune, Jeff Green once again consulted the cookbook. “Thinly” slice the potatoes? His hands were so huge that he doubted that he would end up with anything other than gigantic chunks, but he pressed onwards. His mom wanted him to learn how to cook, and by golly, he was going to learn…
Read MoreDeMarcus Cousins 28 Points/20 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/9/2014)
For the first time in a long time, the Kings appear to have a core they can build around: Cousins, Gay, and Thomas. These players all have deficiencies, but it’s a start. Cousins in particular is a big question mark. He kinda looks like this: ?. Does he contain within him the discipline necessary not…
