Al-Farouq Aminu – DownToBuck

Al-Farouq Aminu 19 Points Full Highlights (5/5/2019)

Even with this loss, we are currently being confronted with the very real possibility that the Trailblazers make the WCF Conference Finals. That possibility would have been realer had they won this game like they should’ve (can’t be wasting a primo 19-point game from Al-Farouq Aminu, come on now), in which case it would almost…

Al-Farouq Aminu 19 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2019)

The Trailblazers are a lot harder to beat when Al-Farouq Aminu is hitting a large amount of his catapaulted rainbow threes. This is his season-high in threes, with four, and the three other times he’s done that this season Portland has a record of… 1 win and 2 losses? Okay, well it SEEMS like the…

Al-Farouq Aminu 23 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

This is a season-high for Al-Farouq Aminu. Didn’t this guy used to be good? You can argue that he’s still good, but I feel like there was a time, a few years ago, where 23 points was not an especially notable performance for him. And now it’s a season high? Perhaps I, affected severely by…

Al-Farouq Aminu 22 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)

I previously came up with a term for a concept that had long gone termless, and that term applies very well to Al-Farouq Aminu’s performance against the Pistons. The term is “blibbum”, and it’s a neologism for a clutch shot that isn’t a game-winner. Now, you might say, “why create a whole new word to…

Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2018)

It’s a good thing that commentators told us all about it, or I would never have noticed that this is the first time in Al-Farouq Aminu’s illustrious career that he has had back-to-back games of 20 points or more. I definitely realized that he had the back-to-back 20-burgers, duh, because I made highlights of both…

Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2018)

After a problematic 1-of-13 shooting performance a week ago (which featured nine missed three-pointers and zero made three pointers), Aminu continued to struggle shooting the rock, but that all ended last night as he went 7-of-9 from the field for twenty points. Rather than shoot a ton of threes, Aminu scored his points on “creative”…

Al-Farouq Aminu 18 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

This video was ruined (RUINED I SAY) by the fact that the commentators never really wanted to talk about Al-Farouq Aminu. And by the fact that seven of his points were scored in what I would consider to be “The Time of Garbage”. But back to the commentary. These ESPN talking heads were too busy…

Al-Farouq Aminu 27 Points Full Highlights (4/21/2018)

I said in my last Al-Farouq Aminu vid (just two days ago!), that Blazers fans were “Going to turn on Aminu once he scores four points in game four and the Blazers get swept out of the playoffs”. As you can see from the video title, Aminu scored way more than four points, and so…

Al-Farouq Aminu 21 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2018)

How unfair that one of the Blazers’ role-players actually decided to show up for this game, yet the Blazers still lost big to the Pelicans thanks to the combined efforts of Lameian Brickard C.J. McChuckbrick. Al-Farouq Aminu’s 21 point in this game is by far the most of any non-Lillard, non-McCollum Blazer in this series….

Al-Farouq Aminu 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/20/2018)

Al-Farouq Aminu looks slightly less like a hobo now that he’s got hair constrained in braids of some kind, but he still mostly looks like a disheveled hobo who could have drunkenly stumbled into the arena and procured from the gift shop a jersey with his name blazoned across the back. Maybe security tried to…
