J.J. Barea is a great backup point guard. One of the best. His pull-up midrange jimbos are among the wettest in the league. It doesn’t even matter that he’s way shorter than the average NBA player, because his lack of height doesn’t seem to stop him from getting his shot off or seeing the right…

Luka Doncic 32 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2018)
Astute viewers will notice something absent from the title of this video. That’s right: I neglected to include the qualifier “Career High”, even though 32 points is indeed Luka Doncic’s career high in points scored. After much introspection and soul-searching, I was able to accumulate in one place enough of the mysterious substance called “optimism”…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 23 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
Attention Luka Doncic: you’re still a totally rad dude, but you’re going too far down the James Harden road by drawing all these fouls. Harden is an elite player who absolutely deserved his MVP and helps his team wins tons of games, but does anyone actually watch his highlights? No, at least compared to other…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 28 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/16/2018)
We’re in game two of the Luka Doncic/Dirk Nowitzki experiment, and I still haven’t seen a single completed lob between the two of them. I’m not picky. I would accept either a Doncic-to-Nowitzki alley-oop connection, or a Nowitzki-to-Doncic alley-oop connection. Is that so much to ask? But not only have I not seen any lobs…

OFFICIAL 2018 DRAFTEES FROM VILLANOVA POWER RANKINGS 1. Jalen Brunson 2. Mikal Bridges 3. Donte DiVincenzo 4. Omari Spellman Two starts for Jalen Brunson, two huge (for him) games, two wins. There’s a trend here that I’ll give you some time to figure out. I’m ignoring the random start he had back in October because…
Read MoreJalen Brunson 14 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
There’s something about Jalen Brunson’s face that makes him look way older than he is. He’s sort of got that Malcom Brogdon thing going where he looks really stately and composed because of his square head. When I look at him it’s very easy for me to imagine that he’s a middle-aged, middle-management type working…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)
The demise of the Rockets continues apace as a previously-struggling Luka Doncic scores 11 straight points near the end of the fourth quarter to put the Mavericks over the top. If I was a normal person who hadn’t boxed himself into a corner by writing more and more outlandish descriptions for NBA highlight videos on…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 21 Points Full Highlights (12/4/2018)
Another game for Luka Doncic where he doesn’t seem to be doing that well and then you look at the boxscore at the end and what do you know, he has 20 points again. That’s how players average 20 points, you know. They don’t always do it in an exciting, in your face way. They…
Read MoreJ.J. Barea 24 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2018)
I want to thank J.J. Barea for, consistently, having among the best free-throwing shooting expressions of an NBA player. If the Mavericks camera people zoom in on him while he’s doing it, which they usually do, that means I don’t have to worry about finding other suitiable thumbnail images. The image you see today is…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 20 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (11/28/2018)
Luka Doncic’s dunk tonight will really spice up my end-of-season Luka Doncic Dunkilation which, up until tonight, was looking really, really lame. He’s an NBA player and kind of tall, so he can dunk, but that’s all you can say about him in that area. That he can do it. There was some power behind…
