Omari Spellman is what some circles would call a “big boy”. He’s definitely beefier than your average power forward. In fact, he might be the beefiest player in the league just going by raw beefage. He’s like a slightly skinnier love child of Glen Davis and Sean May. Picture two tall, chubby, naked men in…

Vince Carter 16 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2019)
I vaguely remember thinking that Vince Carter was washed back in the 2010-11 season when he got traded to the Suns. He had underperformed in Orlando and didn’t fare much better in Phoenix. Apparently the powers that be were in agreement with young, ignorant DTB (who hadn’t even adopted the moniker DownToBuck yet – he…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 19 Points Full Highlights (2/4/2019)
Kevin Huerter AKA Butthuert AKA Kevin Huerant was the darling of the league for approximately one day – the day after he scored 29 points. That game seemed like his “coming out” moment, in the sense of showcasing his skills to the NBA fandom at large, not in the sense of awkwardly telling his mom…
Read MoreTrae Young 27 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/2/2019)
At the beginning of the season, I may have been somewhat of a “Trae Young Hater” (I prefer the term “Trae Young Realist”, myself, since the only player I hate for no reason is Marcus Smart). However, his strong play in the past five games has me coming around him a little bit, and it…
Read MoreJohn Collins Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2019)
I feel like I’m the only one here who truly believes that John Collins was snubbed for the All-Star game. Maybe it’s because I’m sitting here making sick highlight videos for him pretty much every game, but it’s fairly apparent to me that Collins is ALREADY, in just his second year in the league, a…
Read MoreTrae Young 28 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (2/1/2019)
I’ve been paying real close attention, and I don’t think I’ve seen even one person complain that Trae Young was snubbled for the three-point shootout during All-Star weekend. There have been a lot of other complaints involving a lot of other snubs (I agree, Davis Bertans definitely should’ve been an invited), but not even one…
Read MoreTrae Young 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2019)
Repeatedly seeing the name “Trae” reminds me of the fact that, here in Wisconsin, there are no locations for the fast food chain “Cookout”, and thus, no opportunity to acquire what is known as a “Cookout Tray”. Allegedly one of the best deals in all of fast food, a Cookout Tray is an entree plus…
Read MoreAlex Len 19 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2019)
There are some teams in the league who just don’t have a point guard (or a system, in some cases) that allows bigmen to get free dunks whenever they want. The Hawks are not one of those teams. If you’re tall, have arms, and can catch a ball, you are allotted at a minimum one…
Read MoreTrae Young 26 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/28/2019)
Trae Young might be one of the worst point guards in the league going off ESPN’s “real plus-minus” stat (a stat that is calculated through some combination of Ph.D.-level mathematics, alchemic sorcery, and hard drugs), but he does occasionally have a “good game” where he looks like a legitimate point guard who is legitimately good….
Read MoreJohn Collins 22 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2019)
The writing on the wall is that John Collins won’t be an All-Star this season. He didn’t fare well in the fan voting (because Atlanta has no fans) and apparently the media and the players themselves hate him too. This is disappointing to me since I advocated so strongly for his cause; it’s like campaigning…
