The Lakers are still under .500 10 games into the season, so that means it’s time for LeBron’s favorite time of the year: trade season! As GM of the Lakers, he gets to decide which players stay and which players go. He also gets to handpick a new coach if he wants, but that’s not…

JaVale McGee 16 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (10/31/2018)
The Lakers might not be doing nearly as well as their fans want (they’re 3-5 at the time of this writing and barely beat a bad Mavs squad), but, hey, JaVale McGee is putting up monster numbers so I’m totally cool with it. I couldn’t care less if the new-look Lakers led by Jabroni Lames…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 24 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/29/2018)
I feel like I was misled in two fashions during the making of this video: First misleading thing: Brandon Ingram had three “blocks”, but, as my quotation marks indicate, the blockiness of these blocks is very much up for debate. The first one was sure, maybe a block, the second one was more a strip…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 21 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (10/25/2018)
Steve Kerr status: EXPOSED. I feel like I might be overreacting to JaVale McGee’s run of good play to start the season, but then again, I don’t think it’s overreacting when you get hyped for a guy who’s averaging 17/6 on 62% shooting after spending the past couple seasons as an afterthought on the bench….
Read MoreLance Stephenson 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (10/24/2018)
Here’s my hot take: when Lance Stephenson goes into “dance mode”, that’s not a good thing. Obviously, while watching this video, it seems like a good thing because the video only contains successful plays; the shot goes in, the crowd goes nuts, and Stephenson’s internal hype level raises slightly. But on a team with a…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 20 Points/4 Blocks/1 Three Full Highlights (10/24/2018)
My hope is that I get to make a highlight video for every game JaVale McGee appears in this season, hopefully 82 of them. Then, at the end of the year, I can stitch together all the vids into one McGee MEGAMIX that contains everything he did in the whole season and goes for like…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 16 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
The Lakers’ center rotation is so messed up right now. JaVale McGee is fine (back-to-back 16-burgers woooooo), but his asthmatic lungs limit his minutes. Ivica Zubac nearly fouled out in 5 minutes. Mo Wagner is injured, but even he wasn’t, how good could a rookie white Euro three-bomber be, really? Don’t even get me started…
Read MoreJosh Hart 20 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
The Lakers young talent is currently getting ruined by the ball-dominance of one Jabroni Lames and one Badjon Brawndo (at least until he spat on a guy and then punched him), but Josh Hart has resisted the attempts of those players to ruin him. He’s averaging 17 a game after this, which is more, not…
Read MoreKyle Kuzma 37 Points Full Highlights (10/22/2018)
Kyle Kuzma didn’t have great showings in his first two games, especially in terms of the long ball, where he shot a combined 2-of-12. I can be impulsive sometimes, so obviously I started thinking: what if Kuzma’s stellar rookie season had been a mirage? Four-year college players sometimes peak early, so you can’t blame me…
Read MoreJaVale McGee 16 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (10/20/2018)
This video features not just one but TWO jumpshots from JaVale McGee. Not only where they real-life honest-to-god jumpshots, but they were pretty much turnaround jumpshots. For a guy who has been considered nothing but a dunk factory for his entire time in the NBA, that’s not only a good omen for his development; that’s…
