If this is how the NBA is going to be from now on, I can dig it. The Mavericks lost this one against the Rockets 149-153 (at least it was overtime, so that total isn’t as redonk as it seems at first glance), and I don’t think a single cumulative possession of defense was played…

Trey Burke 31 Points/6 Assists/8 Threes Mavericks Debut Full Highlights (7/31/2020)
You can debate semantics all you want, but here’s the deal: this is the first game for Trey Burke with the Mavericks this season, after spending most of it with the 76ers. Thus, it is his “Mavericks Debut”. I don’t care that he was with Dallas at the end of last season. That fact is…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic All 96 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
King Marjanovic sat at the high throne of his kingdom and relished the feeling of power that was always present in him, even when he wasn’t actively exercising that power by sentencing disobedient subjects to death in the dungeons or raising an army to wage war on one of the lesser states nearby. In the…

The field of highlights theory is only just emerging as an area worthy of scholarly pursuit, but its basic tenets are already well-established. In highlights theory: a highlight video serves two purposes: 1. To entertain the viewer 2. To bring attention to the unique or exemplary skills of the player in question The ideal highlight…
Read MoreLuka Doncic All 156 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
Luka Doncic drove down a wide street in a Dallas suburb that he had never even heard of, much less visited. On either side of the road were a multitude of restaurant choices representing every cuisine known to man (or at least the ones that were a part of the average American’s culinary lexicon). It…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (3/11/2020)
An extremely tall, extremely naked man lay on the smooth marble floor of the Hall. He did not stir, for at that very moment, his consciousness was being transferred from his still-awake mortal body to this new clone, which was lying dormant until it was awakened by the first spark of intelligence sending electrical pulses…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 30 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
I specifically took Tim Hardaway Jr. OFF my exclusion list because he was sucking booty to start this season. During the months of October and November, he would regularly score in the single-digits, and if he did manage to stumble into a double-digit game, it would be in the low double-digits. He was, at that…
Read MoreSeth Curry 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
I’m SO done with Seth Curry. It’s been great seeing him undertake the long process to turn from absolute end-of-bench 10-day scrub to legit contributor on a playoff team, but I’m tired of him now. I need another Curry bro. I DEMAND another Curry bro. I’ll even take Dell Curry back in the NBA, he’s…
Read MoreDorian Finney-Smith 18 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
It would have been hella sweet if Dorian Finney-Smith’s six points in the final fifteen seconds of this game had somehow stolen a sure victory out of the hands of the Bulls. Alas, the deficit was too great, and Doncic’s half-court heave as time expired didn’t quite go in. Still, it was an exciting time…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 26 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
I have come to the regrettable conclusion that Tim Hardaway Jr. is at the forefront of the NBA when it comes to players who score 15 PPG per game but still have a hard time getting anybody, even fans of their own team, to care about them. I have done advanced machine-learning analysis on the…
