Sometimes I joke about a particular player being so obscure that nobody has ever heard of them. Such comments, when I happen to make them, are always in jest. For every modern player, there is a significant amount of people who remember them from a stint on a favorite college or pro team. Most historical…

There are certain NBA players who are remembered mostly (or exclusively) for the less-than-great things that happened to them on the court. Tyronn Lue got stepped over by Allen Iverson. Kent Benson broke his jaw by slamming it into Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s fist. Gerald Green got his head wedged between the rim and the backboard…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson 40 Points Full Highlights (4/11/1997)
Ah, the offseason. The offseason… so tranquil. What more could an over-worked highlight maker want than months of repose? Ah, yes. The perfect antidote for a weary man. So peaceful. So relaxing. So… GOD-DAMN LONG. JESUS. What am I supposed to be doing right now? Sitting on my ass and watching my view-counts asymptotically increase?…

Read More2015-16 Season All Field Goals Full Highlights (2015-16 Full-ilation Part 2/447)
I don’t know why everybody thought I was joking when I made part one of my 2015-16 season fullilation. Why would I joke about a project with such a plainly admirable goal? The concept of “full highlights” has been expanded to its fullest possible extent. There could be no highlights more full than a series…
Read MoreDirk Nowitzki All 74 Fadeaway Jumpers Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Dirkilation)
Since learning of the free-agency curse which afflicted the Dallas Mavericks, due to the construction of the American Airlines Center defiling a 1600’s-era Catholic missionary, Dirk Nowitzki found that he could no longer sleep. His nights were restless, his days, groggy. Thoughts of the Mavericks’ free-agency failings persisted through any attempts to banish them, and…
Read MoreChris Paul All 208 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2015-16 Jumperilation Part II)
We now continue our series exploring why Chris Paul has never made a conference finals. (2011-12 Los Angeles Clippers, 40-26, lost conference semis 0-4 against San Antonio): Lob City is born. This is notable because everybody got tired of Ralph Lawler yelling “oh me oh my” and “the lob THE JAM” very quickly. At this…
Read MoreChris Paul All 208 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2015-16 Jumperilation Part I)
It’s an oft-repeated sentiment in online circles: Chris Paul is a loser. He can win in the regular season, but his teams never make deep playoff runs. If he really has been the best PG in the NBA for stretches of his eleven-year career, shouldn’t he have been able to drag one of his teams…
Read MoreDTB’s Top 100 Dunks of the 2015-16 NBA Season (2015-16 Season Dunkilation)
Compiling an end-of-season dunk highlight package presents its own unique set of challenges, the foremost of which is incompetent video editors putting a DeMarcus Cousins dunk (that looked like a poster but really wasn’t) at #14 on the list. The replay indicates that Taj Gibson simply got out of the way rather then receive an…
Read MoreKarl-Anthony Towns All 625 Field Goals Full Highlights (2015-16 Season Bucketilation Part V)
Karl-Anthony was first to reach the plateau. At its far end, there was indeed a fire burning in a pit, but now he could see that there was also a small wooden residence built along the one of the plateau’s sides. The full midday sun exposed its every detail even at this far distance. He…
