Elie Okobo 17 Points Full Highlights (12/21/2019)

Elie Okobo must certainly represent the best chance for another French player to become a star in the NBA. They’ve already got a couple stars in Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier (that’s right, I’m calling him a star, and not just because he’s on my exclusion list), one washed-up semi-star (Nicolas Batum the scrotum puncher),…

Elie Okobo 16 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2019)

I was thinking about things, and one of the things I was thinking about was how there aren’t really any NBA teams that have what could be called a “big three”. “Big threes” were the hottest and coolest trend in team-building a few years ago, but now it seems like a bunch of “big twos”….

Elie Okobo 15 Points Full Highlights (4/3/2019)

I understand completely that it’s not fair to judge rookies too harshly, given that, well, they’re rookies. They’re not used to the NBA. They’re not supposed to be good, except when they are.

I have been noticing for a while that French people aren’t doing a good enough job of flocking to my videos and increasing my view counts. Other European countries do just fine, and France used to do a better job of it, but now it’s like they don’t even care about basketball. Evan Fournier? Apparently…

Elie Okobo 19 Points Full Highlights (11/28/2018)

Did the Suns commentators just totally put Igor Kokoskov on blast at 0:42 of this video? It was said like a joke, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a home commentary person just straight up criticize a coach like that. Not by name, at least. Usually it’s like “I know it’s tough but you…

Elie Okobo 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (10/28/2018)

Before we get into how great it is that Elie Okobo (a second-round Euro rookie) put up 18 and 7 this early in his career, I want to apologize for two things. Thing numero uno: the Suns commentators are still apparently doing that “proud to own the three point zone” thing that Fulton Homes (who…

Elie Okobo 12 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2018)

Is this the guy who’s supposed to be a really good shooter? I’m not saying he isn’t; I genuinely don’t know, and since DraftExpress got paywalled into ESPN, I have no way to check. I could be thinking of Josh Okogie. Or Peter Jok. One thing’s for sure, though: this guy, named by official NBA…
