Jemerrio Jones 11 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (4/9/2019)

Real fans of scrubs will have undoubtedly made the connection that I’m about to make, but, for the benefit of the casual NBA fan who might have accidentally wandered into this video while looking for videos about Kobe Bryant, I will repeat it: Jemerrio Jones reminds me of Jamario Moon. Never mind that their play…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 28 Points Full Highlights (4/8/2019)

https://youtu.be/ZaS4x1yQbjk It has been almost exactly two years since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored this many points. April 9, 2019, final game of the regular season, he dropped 32 (on 31 shots, NICE), following up another 32-point performance he had had the previous game. If there were any Lakers fans out there who were super optimistic about…

JaVale McGee 22 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

In the past, I have revered and cherished the unforgettable Andre Miller/JaVale McGee lob connection. Something about being in the formative years of my NBA fandom, watching a slow old man throw endless alley-oops to a bouncy young dude, was life-altering for me. So it is with great regret that I have come to the…

Alex Caruso 18 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

Alex Caruso was either inactive or a DNP for all but 6 of the Lakers’ first 60 games. While Rajon Rondo padded his stats and caused untold damage to the team (even LeBron couldn’t salvage lineups with Rondo in them), Caruso either balled out in the G-League or sat on the bench and clapped politely….

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 32 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)

Just in case there are people out there who don’t believe that contract-year pushes are a real thing, I present to you: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s numbers in the past few weeks. In the games that have happened since March 19th, he has scored 35, 7, 16, 29, 7, 25, 19, 23, 7, 25, and 32 points….

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 25 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope knows what’s up. He’s not a dummy. He knows that if he wants to get an unreasonably large payday this off-season, he needs to play well enough to trick GM’s into thinking that he’s some kind of go-to scoring shooting guard. That’s why, when you look at his monthly shooting splits, you see…

Alex Caruso Career High 32 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/5/2019)

Alex Caruso stood in front of the mirror in the visitor’s locker room. He sighed heavily. He knew he should be happy, but… Running has hand over the top of his head, he cursed his genetics for what had to be the fiftieth time that day. Sure, he could hang up thirty points on a…

Johnathan Williams 17 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (4/4/2019)

When the Lakers got outscored by the Warriors 39-12 in the opening quarter of play, I thought to myself “This isn’t gonna be pretty. Bring out the snacks!” While I did indeed bring out my snacks and consume them, I didn’t enjoy them any more than I usually do, because the Lakers actually outscored the…

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 23 Points Full Highlights (4/2/2019)

I have, in all my years of making Kentavious Caldwell-Pope highlight videos, never actually gotten hyped for him. Even on the few occasions where he scored thirty-plus points, I don’t remember ever feeling even a twinge of hype anywhere in my body. There’s nothing about him that excites me. Since the Lakers aren’t going to…

Alex Caruso 15 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (4/2/2019)

Russell Westbrook may have had a 20-20-20 game while matched up against Alex Caruso, but Caruso had something even better: a performance unsullied by blatant statpadding. He “only” had 15 points and 7 assists (and 2 rebounds), which at first glance seems way worse that Westbrook’s statline, but all of his stats came within the…
