Nikola Jokic 18 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2017)

Karl-Anthony Towns was mad in this game. Mad about all the attention Nikola Jokic has been getting recently, mad that he himself is not getting as much attention. KAT was so mad that he kind of dominated this matchup of young star centers, putting up 32-12-7-4-1 versus Jokic’s 18-8-4-1-3. It is with the resolution of…

Elfrid Payton 23 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2017)

Has Elfrid Payton been… kinda good this year? I was just so used to him being a bottom-5 starting point guard in the NBA that I never really considered that he could improve from that. I could be wrong. I don’t usually watch a whole lot of Magic games in my spare time (but I…

JaVale McGee 13 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/22/2017)

JaVale McGee sighed contentedly as he watched the sphere of Earth recede in the window of the spaceship. He had finally escaped the drudgery of terrestrial existence, at the ripe age of 153. A century and a half toiling on Earth, where no adventure nor excitement awaited him, was all worth it, for now, he…

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

Before I go all out and call Michael Kidd-Gilchrist a bust (one of my absolute most favorite pastimes), let’s clear something up: MKG is a good role player. Maybe even a great role player. The Hornets are significantly better when he is on the court. He might not ever score fifteen points per game, and…

Jason Smith 16 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

Jason Smith is currently leading the league in percentage of shots made from midrange, at 63%. So, three-fifths of the time he makes a shot, it’s a midrange jumper, most likely one that he shoots instantly without looking for an additional pass. Technically, Gary Neal possesses a higher percentage, but he doesn’t count because he’s…

Quincy Acy 14 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

In a move that surely saddened #1 pick fans everywhere, Anthony Bennett was let go from the Nets in order to make room for Quincy “Assy” Acy. On the surface, the two are similar players: they’re both undersized power forward-types, and they’re both rather bulky. But the comparisons end there: Bennett has no motor to…

Marquese Chriss 15 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

This game between the Suns and Knicks at MSG was the perfect setting for some serious beef resolution to happen. Remember, Marquese Chriss and Kristaps Porzingis have been in the midst of a major beef (extra beefy please) ever since Chriss tackled Porzingis and threw him to the ground earlier in the season. They didn’t…

Terry Rozier 15 Points/1 Clutch Shot Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

Terry Rozier was a very clutch dude last night, sinking a three-pointer to tie the game with eight seconds left, a game which eventually went into overtime. The Celtics went on to lose the game, but in the context of Rozier’s performance that doesn’t matter. He was a clutch mofo. The fact that his teammates…

Ersan Ilyasova 21 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

I’ve said it before (or maybe I haven’t, because I say so much stuff in these descriptions that I lose track of all my opinions sometimes), but Ersan “Arsen Ilyasov from Uzbekistan” Ilyasova is the second-best player on the 76ers, and it’s not even close. He would challenge for tops on the team if Joel…

Dejounte Murray 14 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/21/2017)

For the second straight day, I am undermined by the NBA’s lax allocation of assists. At 2:10 in this video, a player who is clearly not Dejounte Murray passes the ball to Kawhi Leonard, who takes a few dribbles and then shoots a three. The merits of even awarding an assist for that play are…
