Bobby Brown 11 Points Full Highlights (5/7/2017)

Eleven points in five minutes? You know what I’m thinking because you’re thinking it too. Tracy McGrady. And Kobe. Combined. The only thing that would make this cooler (besides spiked death pits and a basketball made out of lava) is if Bobby Brown’s eleven points were part of some kind of heroic comeback by the…

Clint Capela 20 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (5/1/2017)

Trevor Ariza 23 Points Full Highlights (5/1/2017)

The Rockets would have had a much easier time in their first round series against the Thunder if Trevor Ariza had been able to hit his three-pointers. He wasn’t the worst offender; Ryan Anderson made three of them the whole series just like Ariza did, but needed eight more attempts to get there. So there…

Nene 28 Points Full Highlights (4/23/2017)

Say what you will about the questionable sequence of events that led to Nene’s 12th basket and 26th through 28th points, but the fact remains that the Thunder had let him score 25 points on 11/11 shooting prior to their endgame blunder. A team that lets a guy with gray in his beard put that…

Eric Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2017)

Here’s the narrative that ESPN wants you to swallow like a nasty child taking some foul-tasting medicine: Harden has teammates who are actually good shooters (Gordon, Anderson, Williams) while Westbrook doesn’t (Grant, Roberson, Oladipo), so that’s why the Rockets are up 2-0 over the Thunder right now. That’s the official narrative that the collective NBA…

Patrick Beverley 21 Points Full Highlights (4/16/2017)

“So this is how you prepare for the game, huh?” Trevor Ariza asked his teammate Pat Beverley, as the former observed the latter sitting in a corner of the locker room, hunched over a notebook. “I’m releasing my emotions through the power of charcoal drawings,” Pat answered. “It helps me stay focused.” Trevor’s eyebrows went…

Clint Capela 22 Points/3 Blocks/7 Dunks Full Highlights (4/12/2017)

I’m pretty sure that the only way I could ever get the NBA highlight viewing populace at large to watch Clint Capela highlight videos would be to blatantly lie in the video title. I could either embellish the stats (16 dunks? 42 points? 13 blocks? 5 assists? any of those would be outlandish enough to…

Bobby Brown 15 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2017)

Is Bobby Brown ruining James Harden’s already flagging campaign for MVP? He just put up fifteen points and nine assists, proving once again that any shooting guard in the D’Antoni system can put up pretty-looking numbers that include a lot of assists as long as they put their mind to it. Voters are going to…

Clint Capela 18 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Clint Capela is in the same class of centers as DeAndre Jordan, Rudy Gobert, and Tyson Chandler. All he does is soak up alley-oops like a coral sucking up polluted ocean water. The difference with Capela is that, somehow, nobody cares about him at all. He’s scoring 12 PPG (the same as DeAndre Jordan) on…

Bobby Brown 16 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2017)

Bobby Brown is an NBA player. He was apparently still in the league around the time I started actually caring about scrubs in the NBA, but I don’t remember any of his earlier stint. At all. Does anyone? He was on four different teams in his only previous two years, so maybe there’s a handful…
