Stanley Johnson Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (5/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/ZgklwduRKnE Last season, Stanley Johnson played sparingly for the Raptors. Up until the final game of the season, his highest point total was just seven points. Then, he dropped 23 in the regular season finale when the Raptors were presumably locked into their playoff seed. I made a highlight video where I expressed surprise at…

Justin Holiday 26 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (5/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/2oiMqvIkAAw It’s a rare treat for a trio of brothers to all appear in a single game. Since trios of brothers are already quite rare in the NBA (shout out to the Zellers), and it’s also relatively uncommon for two brothers to be on the same roster, the opportunity to have all three brothers playing…

Vlatko Cancar 14 Points Full Highlights (5/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/nGao2ykQy18 Astute observers will note that Vlatko Cancar’s total of fourteen points, while quite impressive for a player of his low caliber, is a full two points below my current MPT (Minimum Points Threshold) of sixteen. The MPT is supposed to provide a hard limit past which I will never make or upload a highlight…

Armoni Brooks 24 Points Full Highlights (5/12/2021)

https://youtu.be/qxLbovrPaj8 Prior to the start of the 2020-21 season, basketball-reference locked away their analytical tools behind a paid service called Stathead. I relied heavily on those services in past years when I needed to supply my video descriptions with a sprinkling of hard numerical facts, so it was a no-brainer that I would pay for…

Cameron Oliver 17 Points Full Highlights (5/12/2021)

https://youtu.be/y0ypYrztKdo Cameron Oliver: the next P.J. Tucker for the Rockets? After making this highlight video, which is well over a minute long, I think I am qualified to say that yes, Cameron Oliver is the next P.J. Tucker for the Rockets. The comparisons are there, people. First off, both of them are kind of stocky…

Talen Horton-Tucker 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (5/12/2021)

https://youtu.be/E9SkOxM2StI Talen Horton-Tucker has been a nice holdover for the Lakers while they deal with absence of LeBron “NoDefense SuckBalls” James AKA Jabroni Lames. Sure, the Lakers haven’t looked great in this LeBron-less stretch, but at least they have this twenty-year old combo guard making things exciting for them while they pray to God to…

Terence Davis 27 Points Full Highlights (5/11/2021)

https://youtu.be/ZUqJoTBoT8o Terence Davis is really doing his best to take advantage of his new circumstances in Sacramento after getting traded there from the Raptors at the trade deadline. Honestly, his surge in scoring reminds me of another Kings trade acquisition of yore, and if you don’t know who I’m talking about here, you should be…

John Konchar Career High 18 Points Full Highlights (5/11/2021)

https://youtu.be/bCHejMy8GL4 At the end of last season, I uploaded what many consider to be the magnum opus of my highlight-making career: a John Konchar bucketilation, showcasing all 23 of his field goals from the 2019-20 season. Over five thousand people watched that video. That expansive viewership only confirms what we already knew: that John Konchar…

Saben Lee 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (5/11/2021)

https://youtu.be/uPhXFUE3wtE Like many bad teams do at the end of a season, the Pistons have transitioned to a rotation of players that almost exclusively consists of players who could be considered to be part of their “young core”. The phrase “young core” is a sacred phrase that holds talismanic properties within its syllables. Simply uttering…

Kelan Martin Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (5/10/2021)

https://youtu.be/JI0eYcwlfqk You can put this one up there with the most unexpected scoring performances of the season. I don’t have handy the full list of most unexpected scoring performances, but my intuition tells me that Kelan Martin’s 25 points in 25 minutes, after having a previous season-high of just eleven points, is way up there…
