Alec Burks 23 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)

I’m currently reminiscing about Alec Burks’ surprisingly lengthy career and I just recalled how there was a stretch of seasons with the Jazz where Burks was never really healthy and was often missing extended stretches of games with some physical ailment or another. Honestly, at that time, I expected Burks’ career to be over; while…

Alec Burks 20 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)

In my last Alec Burks video description, which was written just two days ago, I had these words to say: “Now Josh Richardson is slumping hard but Burks is there to pic up the slack! This is exactly why they got him!” Boy, do I look foolish now or what? Josh Richardson broke out of…

Alec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Remember when Alec Burks was on the Warriors as their de facto #1 scoring option? That seems like so long ago. Like it happened in a different reality, almost. Things were so innocent back then. If you had combined the words “NBA” and “bubble” in a sentence, people would have thought you were talking about…

Alec Burks 19 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2020)

I wish I could put “Sixers Debut” in the title of this video, but Alec Burks’ first game with his new team already happened, and it sucked: 2 points in 14 minutes way back before the All-Star break even happened. How are people supposed to remember occurrences from that far back anyway? I could put…

Alec Burks 30 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2020)

Showcase games are a real thing that real teams really do to demonstrate to other teams that their players have value. Showcase games might not be as effective now, in the age of analytics and easily available game tape (I just bet that teams in the 60s would regularly trade for players who had dominated…

Alec Burks 33 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2020)

There is, apparently, a tentative return date set for Stephen Curry. Maybe it’s not even tentative. Maybe it’s REAL. His return probably won’t lead to a whole ton more wins for the Warriors at this point (gotta keep the tank rolling), but it does put his teammates on notice: if you’re going to score 40…

Alec Burks 25 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2020)

It seems like every team, even the bad ones like the Hornets, is making some kind of social media push to get players from that team to the All-Star game. The time-honored tradition of trying to rally the fans in support of any and all potential All-Stars is usually more pathetic than anything else, and…

Alec Burks 27 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (1/4/2020)

I put off making this video as long as possible, but I could put it off no longer. On the surface, Alec Burks scoring 27 points is an eminently highlight-worthy performance that should be compiled as soon as possible. But lurking just below the surface is a fact that is currently causing me great anguish:…

Alec Burks 28 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2019)

I can’t believe I passed up MULTIPLE New Year’s party invitations just so I could make frickin’ Alec Burks highlights. Maybe, just for tonight, to justify my decision, I should go and make a vid for whatever crazy performance Luka Doncic had tonight. Because right now, I looked up “regret” in the dictionary and all…

Alec Burks 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

The Utah Jazz recently (very recently, only a few hours ago) traded for Jordan Clarkson to bolster their bench scoring. I’m finding that extremely funny, because from what I can recall, they already had a primo 6th-man-type scorer on their roster for several years, almost a decade actually. And they marginalized him and marginalized him…
