Ivica Zubac 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/23/2018)

The Lakers received a bunch of criticism from all corners of the Internet (even the weird parts where they don’t speak English) for choosing Ivica Zubac over Thomas Bryant when the decision had to be made this offseason. This was, of course, because Bryant scored 31 on a perfect 14/14, seemingly showing him to be…

Ivica Zubac 16 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (12/21/2018)

Laker fans have spent the better part of this season telling everybody how Ivica Zubac had regressed from a playable young big into an unplayable, yet still ambulant, pile of festering human trash. Up until this point, I had no reason to disbelieve them: Zubac is still young and developing, so it would make sense…

Lonzo Ball 23 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2018)

There are lots of mean people on the Internet who have mean things to say about Lonzo Ball. That he can’t shoot. That he has a weird-looking jumper. That his dad is stupid. That his brothers are stupid. That his face still looks like a pizza even after he cut his hair. That he’s a…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)

Don’t worry, Lakers fans: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope looks like he’s having a bad season, but he’s actually just the same old KCP that he always has been (which has never been all that great), only getting fewer minutes. So there’s no reason to be upset at him for demanding a trade. He just wants more minutes…

Moritz Wagner 12 Points Full Highlights (12/16/2018)

Fanbases are uniformly guilty of assuming that their rookies (no matter where they were picked, or even whether they were draft at all) are going to come in to their inaugural season ready to contribute right away. Every single fanbase does this, so I’m not singling out Lakers fans here for penciling in Moritz “Dajuan…

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (12/15/2018)

It’s been a long time since I saw that grainy footage in a nondescript gym of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk dominating his age-group over in the Ukraine. He was dunking on everybody, he was hitting deep threes, it was just a highlight video of course, but it made him look like a beast. He was probably 16…

JaVale McGee 19 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/15/2018)

This game was a never-ending highlight reel for the Lakers. An enterprising highlight compiler (which excludes me) would simply upload this game in its entirety (minus the free-throws) with a title like “SHOWTIME LAKERS FULL HIGHLIGHTS VS HORNETS! LEBRON AND ZO TRIP-DUBS!” and watch the views roll in. It seemed like the Lakers were scoring…

Lonzo Ball Triple Double 16 Pts/10 Asts/10 Rebs Full Highlights (12/15/2018)

Two triple-doubles in the same game from the same team. Lonzo Ball and JaBroni Lames. 16-10-10 and whatever garbage statpadded numbers JaBroni put up. It may sound impressive, because the last time a pair of Lakers did this was way back when Kareem and Magic were running the showtime Lakers. But I think it was…

Lance Stephenson 17 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2018)

Since I don’t much care for Lance Stephenson or his playstyle, this video description will instead be about Alex Stepheson, a similarly-named but little-known player whose entire NBA career consisted of eight games in the 2015-16 season. The main reason Alex Stepheson is on my mind is because he had a game with the Grizzlies…

Kyle Kuzma 24 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2018)

If LeBron can take this Lakers team to the Finals (which would be a miracle, but bear with me), people will talk about it like those Cavs teams he dragged to the finish line early in his career. “Yeah, MJ was great, but LeBron took a team with Kyle Kuzma as the second best player…
