Jordan Hill had 20 points and 6 blocks tonight, pretty good numbers for a guy who hasn’t been blocking shots with any sort of regularity this season or scoring all that many points. However, if you just pretend that all three of the Hills that are on the Pacers were actually just one person, his…

Jordan Hill 20 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2015)
It’s a good thing that I’m only nominally a Bucks fan, because getting your rear end handed to you by the Pacers in a 40-point blowout would be pretty annoying otherwise. Watching the undersized Jordan Hill dominate the paint on 9-of-10 shooting while your big men loaf around and pick up fouls, that would also…

In a way, Jordan Hill is the real hero in the saga of Kobe’s 17-assist game. If Hill didn’t have such a wet-bordering-on-soaked jumper that Kevin Love simply doesn’t respect at all, we’d be talking about how Kobe had nine assists. Instead, Kobe Bean assisted Hill on eight shots, most of them jumpshots. That brings…

Jordan Hill is second-last only to Brook Lopez in one critical stat: inches jumped per jumpshot. Brook Lopez averages 0.1 inches, with Jordan Hill not far behind at 0.6 inches.

The Lakers’ time is up. Their core of Bryant, Lin, and ???? is going nowhere other than the bottom of the standings. Randle is not going to win ROTY rolling around in a wheelchair. Nick Young, even if he does come back, will provide not wins, but $wag. Jordan Hill and his hair can shoot…

While making these highlights, all I could think about was “what happened to Jordan Hill’s hair?” It’s like he tried to turn his dreads into one of those “fancy” hairstyles, but he didn’t have a mirror or another person to help him so he just kind of piled and twisted his hair in every direction….

Eight of eight from the field. A perfect field-goal shooting night. A truly miraculous occurrence. What constraint, what modesty, to not take shots that cannot be reasonably made. I cannot overemphasize the import of such a feat on the game of basketball. We have reached a new peak, a higher state, where field goals need…

You always hear reports of so-and-so player taking thousands of jumpers a day during the off season, with promises that their mid-range or three-point game will be much improved. Jordan Hill is one of those players. And you know what? I can’t really tell any difference at all. He can make them, sure. He’s always…
