The writing on the wall is that John Collins won’t be an All-Star this season. He didn’t fare well in the fan voting (because Atlanta has no fans) and apparently the media and the players themselves hate him too. This is disappointing to me since I advocated so strongly for his cause; it’s like campaigning…

John Collins 21 Points Full Highlights (1/26/2019)
It feels weird, but 21 points isn’t even that many points for John Collins these days. Only slightly above his average of 19. Still a highlight-worthy performance, but for how much longer? In only a few games, he’ll probably be above 20 ppg on the season, and then what? Do I just remove him from…

I’ve seen a lot of names bandied about for the “final” Eastern Conference All-Star spot. Apparently there’s enough consensus All-Stars this year to fill up the whole roster except for one spot. And who should that spot go to? I think I saw Zach Lowe say it should be Eric Bledsoe, which, while it’s great…

John Collins did not miss a shot in this game until there were eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. From the beginning of this vid to the end (which is that possession), you are seeing all of his field goal attempts, both makes and misses. Truly, I am redefining the meaning of “Full Highlights”….

We can now add “makes game-winners regularly” to the list of reasons why John Collins should definitely be an All-Star this season. The full list of reasons can be found below: -Makes game-winners regularly (or “clutch late-game shots”, which are different from game-winners; however, for the purposes of this list, they are the same thing)…

I’m so certain of a John Collins All-Star appearance this year that I pondered starting a bet: if Collins doesn’t make the All-Star game, I delete my channel forever. If he does make the All-Star game, everybody pays me five bucks. That’s five bucks from every subscriber. But then I thought, the stakes aren’t high…

If John Collins is just gonna keep scoring 20 points seemingly every game like this, I’m gonna have to put some tighter restrictions on his highlights. Because right now, he’s getting a vid every game. When that starts happening, I know I need to either be more selective (maybe he has to score 22 now…

The more games like this that John Collins racks up, the more I’m becoming convinced that he could be an All-Star THIS YEAR. Not sometime in the distant future, not next season, but this season. If he continues on this trajectory, he’ll be averaging 20/10 by the time mid-February rolls around. Just saying. Here’s a…

Look at the points/rebounds totals for John Collins in the month of December. Just look at them. Dec 3 vs OKC: 19/11 Dec 5 vs WAS: 26/14 Dec 8 vs DEN: 30/12 Dec 12 vs DAL: 20/17 Dec 14 vs BOS: 11/14 Dec 16 vs BRK: 29/8 Dec 21 vs NYK: 17/16 Dec 26 vs…

Hawks commentator Dominique Wilkins implored his team to get John Collins the ball more a bunch of times just in the parts of the game that are shown in the video. I wonder how many more times he said it that we missed. Probably every possession where Collins didn’t touch the rock. I would guess…
