James Johnson 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2020)

I don’t think most people realize that James Johnson is getting paid fifteen million dollars this season and has a player option for sixteen million dollars next season (if you’re like me and all these contractual concepts confuse you, a “player option” is when the player can just tell his team “you have to pay…

Behold: one of the sickest collections of layups you will ever see. So sick are they that I am forced to refrain my self-created term of LAMEups to refer to them. You know that they’re going to be good if even DownToBuck, hater of layups, thinks that they’re good enough to show in a highlight…

“Hey! Hey! KAT! Wait up!” James Johnson, jogging after his teammate as they exited the team plane, was gratified to see Karl-Anthony Towns slow down and turn around. “What’s up?” “You’ve been in Minnesota longer than anybody else. Do you know anything about…casserole?” Karl-Anthony immediately furrowed his brows in response to this query, which James…

James Johnson 15 Points/5 Assists Timberwolves Debut Full Highlights (2/8/2020)

Behold, the power of friendship! Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell are basically the two best bros in the whole NBA, and the strength of their bond overcame whatever feeble bonds the Clippers have (at this point, the bonding that is going on over there is attempting to bond fists with faces). Russell didn’t even need…

James Johnson, noticing the despondent mood in the Heat locker room after a discouraging loss to the Knicks, wanted to raise the down spirits of his teammates. “You know what tastes really great after a full 48 minutes of basketball?” he asked cheerily. Undeterred by the cold glances he was receiving from the rest of…

“Where’d you get that food?” James Johnson leaned back in his chair as he munched on nachos from a battered-looking, greasy Taco Bell box. “I snuck it in my bag,” he said smugly, interpreting the look on Kelly Olynyk’s face as one of jealousy. “Do you not remember how coach held you out due to…

James Johnson 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

I was all set and ready to not make any more highlight videos from the unholy night of April 7th, where fourteen games were played. All my highlight-making software was closed and I was getting ready to settle in for a night of ignoring the NCAA championship game (is it over yet?) and playing Factorio…

James Johnson 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2018)

This is why everyone with half a brain considers James Johnson to be the same as LeBron James but a little worse at everything (except not being a wimpy flopper). This game right here. Not an outrageous statistical performance by any means, but he made his presence felt in all areas of the game, and…

“James, come over here for a second,” Erik Spoelstra said to his player as the team prepared for the start of the first overtime. James Johnson raised one eyebrow. He figured his coach would give them all a peptalk, not just take one of them off to the side for some one-on-one coaching. But he…
