This my favorite type of highlights to make. Just a bunch of shots going in the bucket. No free throws, no assists, no defense. Just shots. Maybe some replays. Caron Butler is not usually a threat to do those other things. He likes to shoot. From the perimeter. If he’s not shooting a three than…

Giannis Antetokounmpo 8 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
“I don’t know, Nate, can’t we try something else? I don’t like the looks of this establishment.” The two Bucks rookies stood outside of the Refuge Smoothie Cafe in Milwaukee. “What’s wrong Giannis, it’s just a smoothie place. You’ve had smoothies before, right? It’ll be fine. Come on.” Nate Wolters pushed his reluctant teammate Giannis…
Read MoreAndre Drummond 16 Points/22 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Andre Drummond is the only good player on the Pistons. There. I said it. Here’s some other players on the Pistons that you might think are good, listed with the shortcomings that cause them to not be good. Josh Smith – Has no concept of a “good shot” and is played out of position so…
Read MoreAnthony Bennett 10 Points/11 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Anthony Bennett’s rise has been as meteoric as his initial downfall. After collecting his first career double-double two games ago, he has now accumulated the requisite 10 points and 10 rebounds for another one. Not only that, but he was only 8 assists away from a triple-double! Consider his rookie wall smashed into dust by…
Read MoreEvan Fournier Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
There was debate as to whether Evan Fournier was really a point guard or not. But that debate has ended, or at least been put on hold. Not because any resolution has been reached, but because Evan Fournier has to play point whether he likes it or not. The rest of the Nuggets guards have…
Read MoreChris Andersen 18 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (2/18/2014)
Chris Andersen lay flat on his back. The dirt from the ground in his backyard was dirtying his already grimy shirt. He stared at the sky in wonderment. How had he never noticed before? Above him were birds. He didn’t know what kind they were, other than “the little ones that sit on power lines…
Read MoreKendall Marshall 14 Points/17 Assists Full Highlights (2/13/2014)
I don’t know how he does it. The Lakers current lineup is 100 percent unfiltered sewer matter and Kendall Marshall still manages to wring 17 assists out of it. He must be one of the best passers of our generation. Or maybe he told his teammates to just shoot it as soon as he passed…
Read MoreWes Johnson 19 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (2/13/2014)
In the midst of a career year, Wes Johnson is slowly improving his game to the point where he might not be as big a bust as I thought. In a theoretical scenario where Wes is able to maintain his current production and efficiency numbers over the course of several years, he would not be…
Read MoreMichael Beasley 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2014)
One of the minor storylines earlier in the year was the redemption of Michael Beasley. You all know the deal with Beasley and his problems (drugs), so I’m not gonna rehash it for you. But Beasley was having a great start to the year while shooting great percentages. But everyone knew that his hot start…
Read MoreAlexis Ajinca 16 Points Full Highlights (2/12/2014)
Apparently conditioning is a problem for Alexis Ajinca? The commentators were going on about how tired he was looking out there in relief of the foul-plagued Anthony Davis. And he did look tired. Hands on knees, huffing and puffing, and, oh look, a huge jam off an inbounds play. Maybe he was faking it.
