Malik Monk 18 Points Full Highlights (12/29/2019)

The NBA really messed a golden (or should I say… TEALen! hahahahah) opportunity to have both teams in a game wear teal jerseys. My opinion on teal is well known and should not need to be restated, but I’ll restate it anyway: it’s the best color on the entire planet Earth as well as the…

Malik Monk 23 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2019)

You know a highlight video is good when it has a ton of replays in it. Well, you don’t know that yet, because you have to watch the video in the first place to find out how many replays it has in it and by that point you’ve already seen the whole and KNOW that…

Malik Monk 19 Points/1 Game-Winner Full Highlights (11/15/2019)

I am issuing a warning right now: if anyone comments “top 10 pictures taken before disaster”, referencing the thumbnail of this video, I will not hesitate use my constitutionally-guaranteed right to delete your YouTube account. I want to get that out of the way right now. The founding fathers put that provision in the constitution…

Malik Monk 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/13/2019)

Even though Malik Monk’s statline in this game was “only” twenty points and five assists, it still felt a little bit like a breakout game due to the following factors: Factor 1: Alley-Oop Dunkage. There was some seriously high-flying whammage coming from Monk in this game and it made his impact feel really big just…

Malik Monk 18 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019)

The Hornets are tanking this year, right? They’re 2-3 as of right now, but their point differential is in the toilet and I don’t see it getting better any time soon. Since we’re in agreement that the Hornets are done competing for the eighth seed, then there seems to be no reason that Malik Monk…

Malik Monk 20 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2019)

I don’t even know exactly what happened at the end of this Hornets-Grizzlies game, some bad stuff involving the refs, but why do Grizzlies fans care? They want to be losing at this point, so is it so bad that the refs blatantly cost them the game? No. It isn’t. Under a utilitarian model of…

Malik Monk 24 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2019)

Malik Monk had nineteen points in the fourth quarter of this game. That’s a good thing. Malik Monk also played the entire fourth quarter, and during that time, the Clippers scored 42 points. That’s a bad thing. I think those two statements, when combined, form the essence of Monk. He can score, but he’s not…

Malik Monk 21 Points Full HIghlights (12/31/2018)

I would like to apologize to Steve Clifford. I treated him unfairly, thinking that he was blatantly holding down Malik Monk (who I perceived to be a grade-A talent) to further his own nefarious goals of promoting Julyan Stone (the Chris Paul stopper). I was mad on all of Charlotte’s behalf, struggling to understand why…

Malik Monk 19 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2018)

Whenever I see a player fall into the trap of “do a bunch of meaningless dribble moves and then jack an 18-foot jumper” I despair for them. Maybe Malik Monk was just trying to catch the eye of Lance Stephenson, but getting a good shot for your team is infinitely more important than trying to…

Malik Monk 26 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (11/25/2018)

I am starting to wonder if it really was Steve Clifford holding Malik Monk down or if it was, in fact, the badness of Malik Monk holding Malik Monk down. Because last time I checked, the Hornets had a coach whose name wasn’t Steve Clifford, Monk’s minutes are way down from the beginning of the…
