Kendrick Nunn 33 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Kendrick Nunn may not win the ROTY of the Year Award, but that’s not the only award the NBA has to offer. There are plenty of other trophies out there that could be his. MVP? If he starts chucking like we all know he wants to, I can see it. Finals MVP? That’s even more…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 20 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2020)
The situation around Kendrick Nunn reveals a truth about rookies that the NBA probably doesn’t want you to realize and that I had hardly thought about before: a lot of their eventual NBA hype is carried over from their college days. As an NBA fan first and foremost, who doesn’t give even one single hoot…
Read MoreJames Johnson 19 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2020)
James Johnson, noticing the despondent mood in the Heat locker room after a discouraging loss to the Knicks, wanted to raise the down spirits of his teammates. “You know what tastes really great after a full 48 minutes of basketball?” he asked cheerily. Undeterred by the cold glances he was receiving from the rest of…

Bam Adebayo: 2019-20 NBA All-Star? That is the question I am posing right now. I don’t know the answer, no one knows the answer*, because the rosters for the All-Star game haven’t been decided yet. The point of the question is not to know the answer. The point of the question is to think about…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 18 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)
I might need to recalibrate my view of Derrick Jones. 18 points doesn’t seem like a whole lot of points for him, but in reality, it’s only 1 off his career-high 19, which he set last game without me exactly realizing that it was a career-high. For some reason I’ve got this image in my…
Read MoreTyler Herro 19 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)
I’m thinking about all the dudes who I think should be in the All-Star Weekend three-point contest, and the only conclusion that I can come to is that the NBA needs to expand the field. By a lot. They increased it to 10 last year, which is a nice start, and shows they’re willing to…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/5/2020)
The Heat have had a couple big losses to bad teams, so Bam Adebayo finds himself once again left off of the top 10 on basketball-reference’s MVP tracker, replaced by Kemba Walker. Talk about a snub, if I’m Adebayo, I’m on the phone with those dudes telling them to get their algorithms in order. Casual…
Read MoreDerrick Jones 19 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (1/5/2020)
I am officially reserving the use of “Career High” when designating a performance by Derrick Jones Jr. for when he scores 20 points. This is the most points he has ever scored in a game, but a “Career High” I will not call it, because what kind of pathetic career high is a mere 19…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)
This statline (18 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists) is almost identical to the statline he had last game against the Jazz (18 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists). The only difference is the rebounds, the fact that he had 3 steals and 3 blocks in that one, and that I didn’t make a highlight video…
