Michael Porter Jr. 23 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

The good news: Michael Porter Jr. continued his run of high-scoring games with 23 points in a double-overtime Nuggets win over the Jazz. The bad news: Michael Porter Jr. was 7-of-18 from the field, 1-of-8 from three, and spent significant chunks of the game not scoring any points. The entire first half elapsed without him…

Jevon Carter 20 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: Jevon Carter once scored 32 points in an NBA game. In the final game of the 2018-19 season, his 32-point explosion against a Curry-less Warriors team raised his season field goal percentage all the way up from 27% to 30%. While you would never consider him a high-level scorer at the NBA…

Duncan Robinson 25 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

First off: I am seriously SUPER sorry that I didn’t include Duncan Robinson’s career-high two blocks in this video. Actually, that’s not exactly accurate. I MIGHT be sorry about that, but I don’t know how good they were. They could have been (and very likely were) lame strip-blocks. What I’m really sorry about is that…

Tyler Herro 25 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

The Heat didn’t have Goran Dragic available for this game. They also didn’t have Jimmy “You Need Me, You Can’t Win Without Me” Butler available for this game. So who was going to handle the ball for the Heat in this game? You’re watching a highlight video for Tyler Herro, so obviously the answer to…

Landry Shamet 19 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

For most players, a jump in production between seasons one and two is expected. The NBA is hard for a rookie to adjust to, but an off-season of refined workout techniques and a year of NBA games under one’s belt means that the second year is supposed to be significantly easier than the first. And…

Gary Trent Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (8/8/2020)

I’m not an expert on the psychological aspects of basketball since the things that are going through NBA player’s heads are so far removed from the things that are going through my head when I’m playing a game of basketball. I’m mostly thinking about how to get open for a midrange jumper (even though everybody…

Brad Wanamaker 15 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

As of right now, Brad Wanamaker is having the second-best free-throw shooting season of any currently active player, sitting at 93 percent, behind only Stephen Curry’s 93.4 percent back in the 2010-11 season. It goes without saying that he’s best free throw shooter this season, a full percentage and a half ahead of scrubs like…

Ish Smith 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Interestingly, every single Ish Smith assist in this video (all ten of them) was previously represented in either the Rui Hachimura, Thomas Bryant, or Troy Brown Jr. highlight videos I uploaded tonight. Meaning that if you watched all three of those videos, you’ve already seen much of this video (you DID watch all those videos,…

Alec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Remember when Alec Burks was on the Warriors as their de facto #1 scoring option? That seems like so long ago. Like it happened in a different reality, almost. Things were so innocent back then. If you had combined the words “NBA” and “bubble” in a sentence, people would have thought you were talking about…

Luguentz Dort 16 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

I’ve had four (actually more like five) months of very limited basketball activity to contemplate the very important question: which NBA player has the raddest name? The answer is still Luguentz Dort, in case you were wondering. I came to that conclusion after about two minutes of thinking and the subsequent five additional months of…
