I was hesitant to make this highlight video for Elfrid Payton because his 18/9/8 line was almost a triple-double, but not quite a triple-double. A lot of “almost triple doubles” are actually mediocre from a statistical perspective; this one is okay, but Payton neither scored twenty points nor got ten assists, so my first thought…

RJ Barrett 17 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
The Knicks didn’t make their first three-pointer in this game until halfway through the third quarter when RJ Barrett (of all people) hit one. It wasn’t the most pathetic streak of misses by any stretch, just ten misses in a row to start the game, but it’s just one of many indicators that this Knicks…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 20 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
I don’t think there’s any way for me to look this up on basketball-reference, and it’s pretty obscure so Google isn’t helping at all, but Elfrid Payton having triple-doubles for four separate franchises has to be pretty close to the record, right? At least among active players? He’s only played for four teams so far,…
Read MoreBobby Portis 21 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2020)
Bobby Portis was a good player for Arkansas back in his college days. As such, one would expect him to still have some fans from those days. Right? I’m assuming that he had fans there in the first place, which is almost a certainty, unless that program simply doesn’t have any fans at all (I…
Read MoreRJ Barrett 27 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2020)
RJ Barrett had such a good first quarter in this one that I’m of the opinion that he should’ve been allowed to chuck whatever shots he wanted for the whole rest of the game (and the whole rest of the season, screw it, why not????). He was beasting. He was feasting. He was throwing no-look…
Read MoreRJ Barrett 19 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
RJ Barrett went 3/4 from three in this game. Considering that he’s shooting around 17% from the threezone in the month of February, the shooting performance depicted here is a sight for sore eyes. And there are no eyes sorer than those of Knicks fans right now. No amount of tears can assuage the soreness…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 23 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
Mitchell “Big Shot Mrob” Robinson just set a new career-high tonight by doing two things and two things only: -Catching lobs -Grabbing offensive rebounds and immediately going back up with the shot If that sounds rather limited to you, you’d be right. Certainly, most players who score 23 points will do so with more variety…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 18 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2020)
I wonder what the Knicks’ thought processes as an organization were when they decided to sign Elfrid Payton to a reasonable-on-the-surface two-year deal that pays him eight million dollars both years. Like, I legitimately wonder what kind of crazy meeting had to go on in a bland corporate conference room for them to come to…
Read MoreMoe Harkless 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/27/2020)
Having been witness to Moe Harkless’ entire career up to this point, and having likely made a highlight video for every one of his notable performances, I think I might be the most qualified person in the universe when I say what I’m about to say: Moe Harkless hitting five three-pointers in the span of…
Read MoreAllonzo Trier 15 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2020)
There must be something wrong with Allonzo Trier that prevents him from getting minutes even on the lowliest-of-the-lowly Knicks. He proved his mettle as an undrafted rookie last season, but his role has went from “minimal” that season to “non-existent” this season. You would think that the Knicks would be so desperate for scoring from…
