I don’t follow college basketball at all, but if I did, I’d be really wondering right now how the heck a guy who was so unproductive in college (note: his juco stint does NOT count) is managing to put up double-digit scoring games regularly in the NBA. Remember, the NBA is BETTER than NCAA ball….

Matthew Dellavedova 7 Points/14 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
I guess this is a new experiment in Cleveland now: start Matthew “Wacky Delly” Dellavedova at the point guard position and shift Collin Sexton to shooting guard. Makes sense to me, given that Collin “Mr. 3 APG” Sexton is really just an undersized shooting guard forced to play PG for most of the year given…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 16 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
What a time to be alive if you’re a Croatian basketball fan. First, Dragan Bender resurrects his career in Golden State (okay, “resurrects” is too strong a term, but he’s definitely getting minutes that he wasn’t getting in Milwaukee). Second, Dario Saric scores 16 and 24 points in consecutive games for the Suns. Third, Luka…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 27 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
Bogdan Bogdanovic, as he had made a recent habit of doing, stormed past the general manager’s secretary and directly into the office of Vlade Divac without so much as a knock or other warning of his presence. Vlade looked mildly at his player, who seemed incensed. “What’s on your mind, Bogdan?” he asked in Serbian….
Read MoreWill Barton 22 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
My last Will Barton video was over a month ago, for his performance on January 31st where he dropped in 24/8 against my beloved Buckos. At that point in the season, I was getting somewhat tired of making videos for Will Barton, as he is the master of accumulating enough stats to deserve a highlight…
Read MoreJosh Jackson 17 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
Josh Jackson scored seventeen points in this game, an eminently highlightable amount. However, it is my duty as a purveyor of highlight videos to provide some background context to this effort by Jackson so that viewers do not come away with erroneous impressions. Here are some notes from this game: -Josh Jackson was 6-of-15 from…
Read MoreJa Morant 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
Ja Morant is a young guy with a lot of money in a big (but not too big) city. Even though he has a squeaky-clean public image, aside from a beef with noted worthless pile of garbage Andre Iguodala, you just know that he’s getting up to some stuff that he would rather the media…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 27 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
I have a feeling that future people (who might not even be alive yet, how wild is that) are going to look back on the career stats of Jonas Valanciunas and wonder how such a beast of a player went so unnoticed both during and after his playing career. They’re going to see the solid…
Read MoreCedi Osman 20 Points Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
The stats don’t paint Cedi Osman as an impact player. In fact, they paint him as a negative-impact player. I don’t watch enough Cavaliers games to form my own opinions (nobody would willingly subject themselves to such inhumane torment), but I’m very good at putting blind faith in advanced stats when they match my preconceived…
Read MoreChristian Wood Career High 30 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (3/7/2020)
Christian Wood opened his eyes and, unexpectedly, saw another pair of eyes staring directly into his own. “Ah!” The other man was not perturbed by Christian’s surprise. He continued to hold his head directly over Christian’s. “I’m glad you’re awake. I was thinking you would never come around.” With those words, Christian immediately thought that…
