I sit at my computer desk, hungrily perusing the menus of various restaurants on GrubHub but knowing that all of them are out of my price range. The life of an NBA highlight maker is not an extravagant one, and to splurge on something other than Hot Pockets for dinner is a rare indulgence. Still,…

Chris Paul All 203 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation Part II)
The room’s small space was illuminated by three torches which obscured no details of the horrific sight before them: two human corpses that had decayed past the point of identification. One was a slightly overweight man whose most distinctive feature was a very large black beard. The maggots which had consumed the flesh of his…
Read MoreChris Paul All 203 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation Part I)
“Where did you say we were again?” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander asked. “Romania,” Chris Paul answered. He didn’t blame his young teammate for being unable to distinguish the landscape of one Eastern European country from that of another. Even the impressive castle that loomed in front of them was not distinctly “Romanian” in any way. It looked…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander All 66 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
This video was supposed to contain more than 66 midrange jumpers. While 66 is a fine total for a young up-and-coming scorer like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, it’s not enough for me, a self-professed midrange fetishist who is powerless to control his perverse urges for midrange jimbos. A quick peek at SGA’s shot chart this season shows…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram All 124 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
Brandon Ingram felt a draft of air rush across his body. This unexpected sensation roused him to a half-awake state. A few seconds passed before he realized that there was no reason he should be feeling a breeze; the windows of his brand-new apartment were perfectly sealed against the elements, and he never opened them….
Read MoreKawhi Leonard All 198 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-2020 Season Jumperilation Part II)
Ignoring the persistent knocking at his door, Kawhi focused on assembling a robotic arm that had three independently-moving fingers at the end of it. Mechanical engineering was another discipline that he had taught himself over the past two weeks of nonstop work. Whoever was trying to get his attention would just have to accept the…

“You got permission to bring a blowtorch in here?” Lifting up his facemask, Kawhi Leonard regarded his teammate Paul George with a blank expression. “You think Ballmer’s gonna say no when I ask him for something?” “I guess not,” Paul replied. He looked around the Clippers’ weight room, which had had all its weight machines…
Read MoreLaMarcus Aldridge All 173 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
LaMarcus Aldridge suddenly threw down his XBox controller, causing the player he was controlling in FIFA 20 to dive to the ground. “I just decided that I want a girlfriend.” “Now’s not the time,” Patty Mills said as he easily scored a goal. “We can talk about it after I’m done destroying you.” Grabbing the…
Read MoreKhris Middleton All 164 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation Part II)
This is continuation of my OFFICIAL REASONS TO LOVE KHRIS MIDDLETON POWER RANKINGS. We resume the list at reason #8. 8. 50/40/90 CLUB Okay, so Middleton wasn’t quite in the 50/40/90 club (50% FG, 40% 3P, 90% FT), but he was literally as close to being in the club as it’s possible to get without…
Read MoreKhris Middleton All 164 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation Part I)
Speaking not just as a Bucks fan but as a fan of the art of scoring, I love Khris Middleton. Is he my favorite player currently in the NBA? I have a lot of favorites so I can’t really say, but he’s definitely near the top of the list. There are just so many reasons…
