Just like that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope dude who’s a few videos back in my Big Ol’ List of Videos, Nic “I Hate Juan Carlos Navarro’s Balls” Batum suffers from serious consistency issues. He can have games like this one where he’s an effective shooter and a great passer, and then he can have games like the…

Johnny O’Bryant 15 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2017)
Johnny “Irish Kobe” O’Bryant has been working on his game since his stint with the Bucks. Even then, his main way of scoring was shooting midrange jumpers. Now, he shoots AND makes midrange jumpers, with the occasional three sprinkled in. At least in this game. I can’t speak for the rest of his time with…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 24 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
Take a look at the 0:50 mark of this video. More specifically, take a look at the clock. It’s just sitting there. Neither the game clock nor the shot clock are running down. Play continues like nothing is wrong, but something is obviously very wrong: Frank Kaminsky is using his powers of chronomancy, or time-manipulation,…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/26/2017)
I thought for sure that eight would be the most three-balls that Nic Batum had hit in a game. After all, Batum is a decent three-point shooter, but he’s never been one who takes a high volume of shots from out there. However, back in 2012 while was still on the Blazers, he hit nine…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 23 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2017)
At what point did it start being okay for Frank Kaminsky (the third, but first in my heart) to take all these shots? This is the second game out of the latest five where he’s been the Hornets’ leading shot-attempter, and he’s been second behind Kemba Walker in the other ones. Remember, this dude is…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (2/15/2017)
Say what you want about “he’s not really 7 feet tall because his head is so long so it doesn’t really count”, but a 7-footer should not be shooting under 40 percent from the field. Ever. Even if his wingspan is more like that of a shooting guard than a center. It’s just unacceptable. Stop…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 25 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/11/2017)
The NBA, earlier in the season, reached “Peak Nicolas”, where there were three separate dudes named Nicolas plying their trade for the association. Add in the four “Nikola”s, and I’m thinking what happened to dudes just named “Nick”? Nick Collison doesn’t count (too old). This is America, this isn’t some other heathen country, this is…
Read MoreNicolas Batum 15 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2017)
Nicolas Batum grabbed only 2 rebounds in the fourth quarter, leaving him 2 short of a triple-double. I appreciate his restraint in not mindlessly chasing an arbitrary stastical feat, but, uh, that’s kind of what you’re supposed to do. Especially if your team is losing. You crash the glass every time. No one’s gonna call…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2017)
How many career highs did Stephen Curry set tonight? That’s what I thought. Checkmate, Warriors bandwagoners. Frank Kaminsky – 1 Stephen Curry – 0. Hold this L. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even know what “Hold this L” means but people keep commenting it on my vids so I thought I’d try to be…
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 17 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/21/2017)
Before I go all out and call Michael Kidd-Gilchrist a bust (one of my absolute most favorite pastimes), let’s clear something up: MKG is a good role player. Maybe even a great role player. The Hornets are significantly better when he is on the court. He might not ever score fifteen points per game, and…
