If Jusuf “Nurk Dowitzki” Nurkic had managed to do anything in the fourth quarter other than commit four fouls and get an assist, he might have had a quadruple-double. By my count (which is hastily done and could be off by as much as two hundred in either direction), he only needed three rebounds, four…

Jalen Brunson 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
After the untimely death of one Jose Juan “J.J.” Barea, the more casual members of the NBA fandom may have wondered to themselves “who on the Mavs roster could possibly step in to fill the small-statured, but big-hearted hole that Barea’s departure has left in the team?” However, the more erudite NBA fan will have…
Read MoreAbdel Nader 16 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
Abdel “Mr. Fourth Quarter” Nader channeled the spirit of other clutch final-quarter performers like Isaiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, and Robert Horry to score 15 points in the last 12 minutes of tonight’s game against the Knicks. Those 15 points weren’t strictly necessary to win the game, but they did help the Thunder get a comfortable…
Read MoreDion Waiters 18 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
That one stretch of scintillating basketball Dion Waiters had a few years ago was maybe the most exciting Heat basketball that had been played since LeBron left. “Waiters Island”. I don’t even know what that phrase meant, but that’s what was going on and it was really fun. So many game-winners! Well, maybe not that…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 18 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
The best part about Derrick Jones Jr. getting real minutes (as opposed to garbage-time minutes) on the Heat is the possibility of a hyper-entertaining DJJ Dunkilation at the end of season gets more and more likely with each minute of on-court action. I couldn’t really care less if he’s helping the Heat or hindering them…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon 24 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
In previous video descriptions I have beseeched the people who run the Hawks television broadcast to give me more footage of Dewayne “Judge Dedd” Dedmon doing his “dialing long distance” three-pointer celebration. Well, it appears my beseechments have been acknowledged, because I was presented with several shots of Dedmon doing the celebration while I was…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 16 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
It is tough being at the forefront of the NBA nickname movement, but you know what they say about DTB…he doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. Unless the “spotlight” is him going outside and interacting with other people like a normal human being. Then he shies away from it a lot. Anyway, the challenge of…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 22 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
It’s easy to forget since he’s only in his second year in the league, but Bogdan Bogdanovic is already 26 years old. For reference, that means he’s 6 years older than Luka Doncic. And he’s a full decade (plus change) older than Giannis. You know Zion Williamson, that studmuffin who is going to be in…
Read MoreLuka Doncic Triple Double 18 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/21/2019)
Luka Doncic is now the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. He is 10 days older at the time of the triple-double than Markelle Fultz was. Now, I’m just saying, if Thon Maker can pretend to be like three or four full years younger than he actually is, it shouldn’t be too…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 17 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2019)
Taj Gibson carefully chiselled the last few bits of ice off of his sculpture, then took a step back to look at it fully. Here, in the frigid, yet sunny, expanse of lawn next to the Timberwolves’ arena, the ice-tulip seemed to glow with its own source of illumination. The curves of the petals were…
