Kendrick Nunn 33 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Kendrick Nunn may not win the ROTY of the Year Award, but that’s not the only award the NBA has to offer. There are plenty of other trophies out there that could be his. MVP? If he starts chucking like we all know he wants to, I can see it. Finals MVP? That’s even more…

The situation around Kendrick Nunn reveals a truth about rookies that the NBA probably doesn’t want you to realize and that I had hardly thought about before: a lot of their eventual NBA hype is carried over from their college days. As an NBA fan first and foremost, who doesn’t give even one single hoot…

Finally, someone who agrees with me! Jeff Van Gundy is right: if you bank in a three, and you do any sort of celebration implying that you have skill in making three-pointers, you should get a technical. However, that doesn’t go far enough. In my opinion (which is basically fact at this point, considering how…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2019)
Kendrick Nunn’s career-high scoring performance might end up being overshadowed a bit by the simultaneous career-highs set by his teammates Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson. This is because most of Nunn’s scoring came in the “Heat are somehow losing to the frickin’ HAWKS” part of the game, while a bunch of Adebayo’s and Robinson’s scoring…

Kendrick “The Best And Most Famous Kendrick Of All Time” Nunn helped put the Bulls away early in this one, scoring 10 of the Heat’s first 15 points while the Bulls scored none. It was his way of showing the good people of Chicago (where he grew up) what they were missing out on. Since…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 22 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (11/16/2019)
For the first three quarters of the game, as far as I can tell, the only thing that Kendrick Nunn did besides shoot (successfully or unsuccessfully) was grab a rebound and notch an assist (with no time left in the third). No turnovers, no free throws, no fouls, nothing except shots. I’ve always thought that…

I feel like that when the Cavaliers and Heat play each other, they shouldn’t even be going into the game to win it. They should be going in with the collaborative, sympathetic spirit that can only be shared by two teams who were betrayed by LeBron James. That means there should be no defense. Just…

No matter what happens with Kendrick Nunn this season, we will always be able to look back fondly at his first five games where he was averaging 22 PPG per game and was a leading MVP candidate (at least stats-wise). Those five games might end up being the peak of his career, but what a…

I am totally losing track of all the records Kendrick Nunn is setting right now. If you told me, for example, that he has now broken Wilt Chamberlain’s single-game scoring record, I would respond “yeah I remember that, what a great game that was maybe the best ever by anyone” while nodding my head. Or…
