Kyle Kuzma 33 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2018)

The question of “is LeBron holding Kyle Kuzma back” can now be definitively answered, and the answer is a definitive “no”. In a similar amount of minutes as last season, Kuzma is scoring more points, more efficiently. We are seeing right now how a player like Tristan Thompson was being held back by LeBron, and…

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 11 Points Full Highlights (12/8/2018)

Step aside, Alex Len. There is a new Ukrainian in the NBA, and he has a way cooler name: Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. He’s also in a way bigger media market and has way better teammates. With all these factors combined, Len is an afterthought to Ukrainians and Americans alike, while Svi has captured our hearts with…

Lonzo Ball 13 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

Lonzo Ball must be learning from Rajon Rondo when it comes to getting high-assist games without scoring a lot of points. In fact, I just came up with a new term for a statistical achievement, “The Rondo”: when a player gets a double-double with points and assists, but gets more assists than points. I could…

Kyle Kuzma 27 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2018)

By my (biased) count, out of Kyle Kuzma’s twelve made field goals, eight of them were floaters. Some of them were more like hook shots than floaters, but the way he shoots them is like a hybrid of both, so I counted them. And, honestly eight floaters is just way too many floaters for me…

Kyle Kuzma 23 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2018)

I was digging this Lakers team a lot more before LeBron showed up. Sure, I got caught up in some of the Summer League hype surrounding Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma, but there was a lot of young talent there, and I’m always down to… enjoy young talent. Then LeBron and his hand-picked collection of…

Brandon Ingram 24 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2018)

I totally thought that Brandon Ingram was getting marginalized this season, but I went out to my favoritest favorite website ever, basketball-reference, to check out the stats and it turns out that his stats are pretty similar to last year’s. He’s actually averaging .2 field goal attempts per game MORE than last season, in one…

Lance Stephenson 19 Points Full Highlights (11/17/2018)

I might have a low opinion of points scored in “garbage time” (they should be stricken from the record or at least put into a separate “garbage time” box-score so that they don’t sully the legitimate stats), but I don’t really care one way or the other if players want to score on the last…

JaVale McGee 20 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)

Whenever I think about JaVale McGee, I think fondly back to his days as a Nugget, when he was the preferred lob target of one Andre Miller. McGee had 175 dunks in the 2012-13 season, and, just eyeballing the list, it seems like about half of them were courtesy of old man Miller, and the…

JaVale McGee 16 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

When I heard that Tyson Chandler was getting moved from the Suns to the Lakers, I had one thought and one thought only: under no circumstances should JaVale McGee’s minutes be reduced as a consequence of this new roster addition. For the first time in a long time, McGee has been getting the minutes that…

Josh Hart 21 Points Full Highlights (11/7/2018)

I still suck at Fortnite. My brain isn’t meant for killing. It’s meant for love, and highlights, in that order. But my desire to be better at things than other people (which is all-encompassing) leads me to keep playing. Usually I just run around and chop down trees until someone sees me, then I start…
