Al-Farouq Aminu 19 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2018)

Al-Farouq Aminu always looks like a hobo. His nickname is “chief” but no African chief would be so undignified in their appearance. They would either have a real beard, or they would keep a close shave. They wouldn’t have a patchy hobo beard that looks like it was the result of two weeks’ neglect +…

Al-Farouq Aminu 24 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)

It’s easy to forget that Al-Farouq Aminu was a top-10 pick once upon a time. I guess in a way he still is. There were reasons for why he was drafted that high, real reasons that were really reached by real NBA GMs. Those reasons are gone now. One of them might have been “defense”,…

Al-Farouq Aminu 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/26/2017)

It might seem like Al-Farouq Aminu is a grizzled veteran at this point. He’s been in the league eight years. To me, having that much NBA experience qualifies you for the title of “veteran”, and he’s definitely got the “grizzled” part down with his unkempt facial hair. The thing is, he might be a veteran,…

Al-Farouq Aminu 25 Points Full Highlights (4/24/2017)

The Blazers might have gotten swept, but there is one positive to take away from this string of four straight losses: Al-Farouq Aminu improved from his zero-point first game to score nine, fourteen, and twenty-five in the second, third, and fourth games. If the series magically extended to seven games, Aminu would probably drop 45…

Al-Farouq Aminu 20 Points/5 Assists/3 Blocks Full Highlights (4/3/2017)

This is the Al-Farouq Aminu the Blazers thought they were going to be getting this season after a career year last season. The Aminu who can shoot three-pointers and have them go in. I mean, the seven million dollars he’s getting isn’t just for his defense. It was for his nascent scoring ability, which has…

Al-Farouq Aminu 23 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)

I’m tired of Al-Farouq Aminu. He’s been in the league for 7 seasons now, and while he’s a decent player (not this year tho), he’s not very exciting. If he was a rookie or something I’d probably be hyped for him, but he’s not, so I’m not. The NBA needs fresh blood. Here’s what I’m…

Al-Farouq Aminu 26 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2017)

Al-Farouq Aminu truly got Al-Fareaky in this game, a welcome sight for Blazers fans who were getting just a little bit tired of him shooting below thirty percent from three and below forty percent from the field. He’s still mired in those awful percentages, but games like this give you hope that he will be…

Al-Farouq Aminu 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2017)

Al-Farouq Aminu suffers from “Jeremy Lamb Syndrome”: his droopy eyes always make him look like he’s sleepy and not giving 100% effort. He can be running at a full sprint down the court but his eyes will always be half-lidded like he’s getting ready to take a nap. He can dunk it with the power…

Al-Farouq Aminu 23 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2016)

Do you want to hear something terrible? Al-Farouq Aminu’s mega poster dunk on Bogut was listed as a layup in the box score. Not only is that an insult to the primal power contained in Aminu’s whamjams, but it also means that, were I to revisit every dunk of the playoffs in order to make…

Al-Farouq Aminu Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (4/25/2016)

How many threes does a player have to make in a game before they earn the title of “three-point specialist”? Is it six? Because Al-Farouq Aminu has now officially made six of them in one game. If the threshold is indeed six, then there can be no doubt: Al-Farouq Aminu is a three-point specialist. If…
