It seems to me that we can start using the term “legit” when it comes to Nikola “Jock Itch” Jokic. Here’s an example usage: “Nikola Jokic is seriously legit right now.” We can use that word when talking about Jock Itch because that’s what he is. After his first season, you couldn’t really call him…

Gary Harris Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
Explain to me why I would go to all the trouble of making a hashtag when no one is going to use it. Explain that to me. Because I can’t understand it. Gary Harris is playing well now, and there should be a lot of people excited for him. Even if there aren’t many fans…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/19/2016)
It’s a shame that Nikola Jokic fell one assist short of a triple-double tonight. A real shame. It would have been nice for one of the best passing bigs in the league to have his skill validated by an arbitrary statistical feat. Oh well. A tied career-high is pretty good too. And the Nuggets won,…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 22 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2016)
Emmanuel Mudiay hasn’t improved as much as I was hoping for. I know, I know, it’s usually the third year where you really see improvement with point guards, but if anything, Mudiay has regressed slightly. Sorry to sound like a dictionary but regression is, like, the opposite of improvement. Mudiay’s shooting is still not very…
Read MoreKenneth Faried 25 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (12/17/2016)
It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, but Kenneth Faried has been in the league for six seasons now. I guess that means it’s time to accept that he won’t ever develop a jumper? He’s basically the same player now that he was as rookie, the only difference being that Nikola Jokic is throwing…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari 27 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2016)
The “start Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari together and see what happens” experiment is returning promising results. The game prior to this, a twenty-point loss to the lowly Mavericks, saw Darrell Arthur get the start. That worked out rather poorly so a new lineup was attempted against the Trailblazers, and, guess what, the Nuggets dropped…
Read MoreGary Harris 18 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2016)
Gary Harris has been injured for a large part of the beginning of the season and, I admit, I haven’t been as #hypedforgaryharris as I should. It’s hard to get hyped for a player who hardly even plays, you know? That’s no excuse, though. As creator of the #hypedforgaryharris hashtag, I should be hyped for…
Read MoreJamal Murray 15 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
Jamal Murray stole my move. He STOLE my MOVE! That was my move, and he stole it! Check out 1:00 of this video. Pretty nifty, right? Right! It is very nifty! A nice left-handed drive to the basket with a slice behind-the-back dribble back between the legs to confuse the defender. Anyone who watches it…
Read MoreNikola Jokic Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (12/12/2016)
Before you look at the title of this video, and before you finish with the rest of this description, watch these highlights and after you’re done, tell me how many points you think Nikola Jokic ended up with. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t follow the circumscribed highlight-watching order of: 1. Click on…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 17 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2016)
Someone once told me that Bismack Biyombo was a good defender. And this wasn’t just any old bloke. This was someone who I respected, greatly, telling me this. A certain NBA writer… not going to name names or anything, but they have just been exposed as wrong, wrong, WRONG. Because Jusuf Nurkic abused Biyombo all…
