The list of youngest foreign-born players to start for the Nets reads like a list of players I most want to make highlights for: -Rodions Kurucs, 20 years 312 days old (our hero!) -Yi Jianlian, 21 years 2 days old (there’s no way he didn’t lie about his age but whatevs) -Sergey Karasev, 21 years,…

Spencer Dinwiddie 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/14/2018)
Spencer Dinwiddie is getting paid 1.6 million dollars this year to do his basketball stuff for the Brooklyn Nets. Now, that’s a ton of money, but for a starter-quality point guard in the NBA, that’s pennies. The Nets gave him a three-year deal back in 2016, the kind of deal that you give to players…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 13 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2018)
Since I’m kind of in a euphoric daze right now from having eaten chicken wings last night (that’s what chicken wings do to me), I decided to go to Rodions Kurucs’ Twitter page to see if there was any content I could gank from there. Like, if he got a beef with Kristaps or posted…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie Career High 39 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2018)
Don’t get me wrong, this is a great performance by Spencer Dinwiddie, but it doesn’t feel like the almost 40 points it is, you know? I mean, it’s 39 points, not 40, but that’s still a ton of points and a highlight video showing that many points should feel like it needs epic film-score music…
Read MoreRondae Hollis-Jefferson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
I’ve been optimistic in the past that Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and his spastic, unorthodox scoring game can find a place in this league. But my optimism can’t help but me dampened when the stats present us with the following fact: RHJ has regressed across the board from last season to this season. From 14 PPG on…
Read MoreSpencer Dinwiddie 25 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
Spencer “Din-Dins” Dinwiddie lowkey shot poorly from the field last season (39%; in my book, anything below 40% is unacceptable), so I just sort of assumed that he was shooting poorly from the field this season too. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw that he’s shooting 47% from the field on a higher volume…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 29 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)
I know I’ve talked a lot of crap about D’Angelo Russell in the past, but when he’s smoothly hitting shot after shot from everywhere on the court, I can feel my position on him softening a little bit. And I hate that feeling. The entire point of having opinions is for them to be right….
Read MoreAllen Crabbe 22 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/5/2018)
Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe was afforded two chances at four-point plays in this game, but screwed them both up. The final margin of the game? Two points. The same two points that Crabbey Patty left on the court by not hitting his and-one free throws. To be sure, this was a tremendous chokejob by all…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 30 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/3/2018)
This video is yet another example of the inordinate power that highlight-compilers wield over the pablum-bloated populace. Watch it. It looks good, right? Real good. D’Angelo Russell did some good stuff, claims this video, and it even goes further and claims that he had a good game. He didn’t. Okay, that’s pushing it. But it…
Read MoreRodions Kurucs 12 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2018)
When I saw that Rodions Kurucs has 12 points, I was excited, but not too excited. That’s a lot of points for him, but not an insane amount. Don’t fall into the same trap I did: this is an exciting video! I’m hyped as heck and, just saying, Kristaps Porzingis never made me feel this…
