Shabazz Napier 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Shabazz “Shabazzledazzle” is one of the biggest chuckers on the Nets, although you wouldn’t realize it when you look at the stats because his minutes are low and kind of sporadic. Only when you look at the roster’s scoring per 36 minutes does the trend become apparent: Napier (19.6) is just slightly behind the high-scoring…

Aron Baynes 16 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Aron “Angry Australian Topknot Santa” Baynes is halfway through his seventh season in the league. Since he wasn’t a young rookie (entering the NBA at age 26 after spending his early twenties riding kangaroos around the Australian outback while yelling “crikey”), he’s a lot older than most players who are playing in their seventh season:…

Marcus Smart 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Since Marcus Smart is now a 36% three-point shooter (a percentage that will go up after this game), I should stop being incredulous when the three-pointers he takes actually go through the net. In past seasons, it was a forgone conclusion that most of the three-pointers Smart chucked up there were not going to in….

Nikola Jokic 24 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

Calling Nikola Jokic’s hook shot with 28 seconds left in the game a “game-winner” is stretching my credibility a little thin, but you know what? It was kind of a game-winner in the sense that it put the Nuggets in the lead for good. Also, if I put the words “game-winner” in the title of…

Kevin Knox 19 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2019)

After much struggle to make heads or tails of the stats.nba.com user interface, I was finally able to coerce it into disgorging the stat that I was looking for. A stat which paints Kevin Knox in a very unfavorable light. Out of all players who have attempted fifty or more midrange field goals, Kevin Knox…

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

After a string of low-scoring games before this one, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially dropped below 10 PPG on the season. Ten points per game is an arbitrary measure, sure, but it’s sort of a quick and handy reference to distinguish between “guys who will definitely be good in the league” and “guys who could be…

Wayne Selden 15 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Raise your hand if you, as neither a fan of the Bulls or the Grizzlies, realized that Wayne Selden had been traded from Memphis to Chicago. I’m expecting a lot of hands up here. I haven’t fully succeeded in purging my channel of casuals, but I have made great progress. I don’t want anyone watching…

Matthew Dellavedova 16 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Reports that Anthony Davis wants to be traded have surfaced, just an hour ago, from everyone’s favorite scooper, Wojnarooski. My first thought about the situation wasn’t, as you might expect, “how can the Bucks get him?”, but was instead “how can we get Matthew Dellavedova reunited with LeBron James?”. I think I’ve figured it out….

Alec Burks 18 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

I feel sorta bad about putting the “1 Game-Winner” in the title of this video. Burks did hit the shot to take the lead by one point with 17 seconds left, so I’m not totally lying, but that’s kind of a long time for some other stuff in the game to happen. Like, the Bulls…

Jerryd Bayless 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/27/2019)

Let us examine Timberwolves commentator Jim Peterson’s comment that Jerryd “Jerry Dee” Bayless “was an excellent player with the Milwaukee Bucks”. Honestly, I don’t disagree with the second part of the sentence. He definitely was a player with the Milwaukee Bucks. I remember clearly many specific instances of him basketballing while in a Bucks jersey,…
