I always complain when I have to include a player’s steals in a highlight video. Always. The complaining is like the never-ending wails of my kitty Japurri Purrker when I get distracted by highlight videos and forget to feed him. I complain as much as I do because steals in the NBA are considerably more…

RJ Barrett 21 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2020)
With the Rockets happily utilizing their fancy new “no bigs at all strategy”, this seemed like the perfect night for RJ Barrett to go off. Him, along with every other big on the Knicks roster, but since this is an RJ Barrett highlight video, we’re going to focus on him. Early returns were positive, as…
Read MoreBobby Portis 19 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
It’s only been a few minutes, but I’m already really starting to regret making this video. YouTube has this fancy thing where it shows you realtime views per minute on stuff you uploaded (back when I started, the only way you found out about view counts on your videos was when YouTube mailed you a…

Read MoreFrank Ntilikina 14 Points Full Highlights (2/21/2020)
I’m not usually the guy who puts a lot of stock into concepts like “confidence”. The way I figure it, everybody in the NBA has confidence. They might have slightly smaller or larger amounts of it relative to each other, but they all have lots of it. My theory is vexed, however, by the existence…
Read MoreElfrid Payton 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/12/2020)
Elfrid Payton can put up all the statisticals that he wants, but there’s nothing he can do to make people care about him. The little amount of care (which could more accurately be termed “derision”) that people previously had for him went away when he lopped off his hair tower and started looking like a…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson 15 Points/5 Dunks/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Do you think Mitchell Robinson ever wistfully looks down at the opposing team’s bench and its preponderance of skilled point guards, then looks back at his own bench and feels barely-suppressed hatred for his teammates and his situation. I totally bet he does. How could he not? Witnessing first-hand the chemistry that Trae Young has…
Read MoreReggie Bullock 21 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Reggie Bullock was another one of those numerous Knicks players who had rumors swirling around him as the trade deadline drew closer, closer, and ultimately went by. He is a good shooter in theory, and he was inactive for enough of the season that his stats don’t necessarily represent how good of a player he…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 17 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
Wayne “The Man With The Golden Arm” Ellington was mercifully granted a small amount of legitimate (that is to say, non-garbage) playing time last game, and he responded by hitting a bunch of threes in the third quarter of yet another Knicks victory. That performance entitled him to a veritable minutes bonanza in this one,…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/6/2020)
Note how, in the thumbnail of this video, Taj Gibson’s head is glowing bluish green in spots. A casual observer might simply think that some kind of blue light from inside the arena, possibly the jumbotron, is reflecting off Gibson’s shiny, sweaty shaved head. However, a deeper look reveals this not to be the case….
