I have watched a fair amount of the Nets the season, and I am of the opinion that Jarrett Allen increases the funness of any game he enters by at least a factor of two. As soon as he checks in, maybe the game was a little boring, maybe dragging a little bit, but he…

Jarrett Allen 16 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2018)
Jarrett Allen must have taken some notes from Jahlil Okafor: take a look at the move at 0:20. That’s not a move he was doing earlier in the season, or even midway through the season. That is a brand new move for him, never seen before, and I’m pretty sure he lifted it straight from…

Jarrett Allen has scored in double digits each of the last seven games. The Nets are 1-6 in that span, but you know it’s not Allen’s fault because it’s not like this dude can go out there and get buckets for himself. Like many “dunk-only” centers, he relies on his teammates to get throw him…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 20 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2018)
This is one of the sickest highlight vids of the year, in my opinion. And my opinion is worth a lot, since I’ve made over a thousand of them this season. The reason? Jarrett Allen “have-it-all”ed tonight, and the Nets TV people accentuated his have-it-all-ness with plenty of replays. The Lakers bigs simply could not…

Jarrett Allen: in possession of an ever-expanding offensive repertoire? Yes! Watch this video and you will see that he is a one-dimensional dunk machine no longer. He has touch. He has moves. He has a jumper. He can still throw down when he needs to, but that is now plan D, only used when he…

You know, I’m a Bucks fan, but I would have been totally okay with Jarrett Allen dropping a twenty-burger on us, even if it meant we lost. Correction: I would only be okay with it if Allen dunked the ball six or more times. If he scored twenty points by way of layups (“LAME-ups”), then…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 12 Points/1 Three Full Highlights (1/23/2018)
Jarrett Allen is a 43% three-point shooter. His only problem is his extremely low, bordering on anemic, volume from the threezone: he’s 3 of 7 for the season. That hardly qualifies him as a “stretch five”, but then again, maybe it does a little bit. It’s hard to extract meaningful information from so few shot…

It’s somewhat perverse, don’t you think, that the Nets TV people showed replays of the two field goals Jarrett Allen’s afro scored that weren’t dunks, but didn’t show any for the four that were dunks. It’s cool that he can do things other than dunk, especially when he’s launching threes, but he dunks so ferociously…
Read MoreJarrett Allen 14 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/8/2018)
Jarrett Allen put on a slam-dunking festival (colloquially known as a “dunkfest”) tonight against the Raptors. He’s working on other parts of his offensive game, but that’s the one that’s getting him the most mileage: just slamming it through the rim with two hands or one hand but not usually zero hands. His proclivity for…

I just finished up my dunks of the month video for December, really great vid by the way, you should check it out, anyway, the most important thing that I learned from that video was this: Jarrett Allen really loves getting dunked on. It must be a fetish or something for him, because he was…
