I think the thing that annoys me most about Cody Zeller is that, pre-draft, he projected as somebody who would generate exciting highlight videos. Nobody used those exact words of course, but the implication was that he would be a skilled, versatile scorer. If you’re a skilled, versatile scorer, your highlight videos are going to…

Nicolas Batum 27 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/25/2015)
“What are we goings to do?” Victor Claver yelled as he ran. “Shut up and keep running!” shouted Nic Batum as he ran alongside his teammate. Why had he been so stupid as to microwave a basketball? Such a juvenile stunt could never have a positive outcome, and now, here they were, being chased by…
Read MoreAnthony Davis 19 Points Full Highlights (3/27/2013)
Anthony Davis can’t really shoot long jumpers. But, just like nearly every other player in the NBA who had that same deficiency, that fact doesn’t prevent him from taking them semi-regularly. Just because he made a bunch of them this game doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
Read MoreDarius Miller Career High 16 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2013)
Darius “D-Mill” Miller can be summed up in one word. Basketball player. Okay, two words, but you get the idea. D-Mill is a basketball player. That’s what he does. How does he compare to other basketball players with the last name Miller? Mike Miller: Way better than D-Mill, but is old and stricken with back…
Read MoreRyan Anderson 23 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2013)
Stephen Curry is the best three-point shooter in the league. But who’s in second place? Since this is a Ryan Anderson video, we’re going with Ryan Anderson on this one. Not only does his range extend two feet beyond the arc, but he can shoot it in the face of any defender. When he gets…
Read MoreBrian Roberts 13 Points/Career High 18 Assists Full Highlights (3/25/2013)
This is a crazy performance. It’s right up there with Dalembert’s 35 points for the most unexpected, out-of-the-blue statline of the year. How does this even happen? And it’s not like the scorekeepers were preparing some nice delicious home-cooking. All of the assists were legit except for the penultimate one on the Miller layup. It…
Read MoreRobin Lopez 23 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/22/2013)
Robin Lopez has the best hair in the league. This is a fact and cannot be disputed. It looks like someone took the biggest popcorn ever, painted it brown, and stuck it on his head. Which is why his nickname should be “popcorn”. Think of all the cool stuff commentators could do with that one….
Read MoreAnthony Davis 17 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2013)
The New Orleans Hornets are the next San Antonio Spurs. Hear me out on this one. Anthony Davis = Tim Duncan. No surprises there. Greivis Vasquez = Tony Parker. Tony may be a bit better, but Greivis is Venezuelan. Can’t beat that. Eric Gordon = Manu Ginobili. This is a bit of a stretch. Replace…
Read MoreAnthony Davis 20 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2013)
The rookie of the year race is pretty close at this point between Damian Lillard and Anthony Davis. But the answer of who should win is obvious. Think of it this way: would you rather have the next Tim Duncan or the next Brandon Jennings? Yeah. Case closed. Davis may not put up the gaudy…
Read MoreJason Smith 22 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2013)
Boring name. Boring game. That’s Jason Smith in a nutshell. The most anonymous player in the league. He’s not very good, but he’s also not very bad. He plays on a mediocre team. His name sounds like a combination of other NBA player’s names. 22 Points is okay, but it’s not 50 or anything. Certainly…
