Derrick Jones Jr. apparently scored 23 points in the final game of the “real” regular season (before the “Bubb” regular season started) and I don’t remember it happening at all. That night was such a roller coaster (if a roller coaster only went down and down forever until you were TRAPPED FOREVER in the FLAMING…

Derrick Jones Jr. All 76 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
His phone was ringing. Derrick Jones Jr. didn’t feel like looking to see who was calling. If he went five days without saying a word to anybody, as had become the norm while he was quarantined inside his apartment in a Miami high-rise, that was fine by him. Then again, his phone was set to…

The Miami Heat jumped out to a 40-22 lead over the Charlotte Hornets in the first quarter of this game, partially on the back of an uncharacteristic amount of offensive contribution from Derrick Jones Jr.: He scored thirteen points in the first eight minutes of play. His unreliable three-ball was falling, he had some sick…
Read MoreDerrick Jones Jr. Career High 25 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (2/5/2020)
Games happening right around the trade-deadline are second only two end-of-year scrubfests in terms of entertainment value. Lots of players get moved around, the players that get traded are obviously gone and the players traded for haven’t passed the physicals or whatever, so teams are forced into constricted lineups featuring players who don’t normally get…

Derrick Jones Jr. is in the dunk contest again. This seems like a good decision by the NBA, to put one of the better in-game dunkers in a contest to showcase his dunking ability. Putting Pat Connaughton in the contest as well is probably less of a good decision. Better than the time they were…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)
I might need to recalibrate my view of Derrick Jones. 18 points doesn’t seem like a whole lot of points for him, but in reality, it’s only 1 off his career-high 19, which he set last game without me exactly realizing that it was a career-high. For some reason I’ve got this image in my…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/5/2020)
I am officially reserving the use of “Career High” when designating a performance by Derrick Jones Jr. for when he scores 20 points. This is the most points he has ever scored in a game, but a “Career High” I will not call it, because what kind of pathetic career high is a mere 19…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/20/2019)
Derrick Jones Jr. already has 25 dunks this season. In just fifteen games! He’s dunking at a much higher rate than last season (62 dunks in 60 games), which can mean only one thing: This year’s DJJ dunkilation is going to be the sickest thing ever. Normally I don’t sit around wishing for the regular…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 15 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2019)
All I want for Christmas is to be able to dunk like Derrick Jones Jr. can. Is that so much to ask? It is, because there are only a few people with his dunking ability and most of them are in the NBA solely because of that (even James White managed to get in eventually…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 17 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2019)
Just like the Jacob Evans 13 Points highlight video that I made and now am feeling large amounts of regret towards (YouTube makes it very easy to delete videos…), this Derrick Jones Jr. 17 points highlight video doesn’t sit well with me because he only made four shots. There were 57 players last night who…
