Bobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2020)

Bobby Portis is one of those few players who just absolutely has no fans. At least, no fans who are willing to watch highlight videos of him on YouTube. I don’t know what kind of a person you would have to be to be a fan of a player but not want to watch a…

RJ Barrett 22 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (1/14/2020)

The play-enhancing properties of the standard-issue NBA headband are well known. Carmelo Anthony’s seminal treatise on the subject, “On The Magickal Properties Of The Headband” (not to be confused with his later work, “The Latent Power Of The Hoodie And Other Related Garments”), is well regarded in NBA circles for its thoroughness in the study…

Reggie Bullock 16 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2020)

Normally a small amount of points such as sixteen would not qualify Reggie Bullock for a highlight video. However, I am making a one-time exception because Bullock just came back from injury at the beginning of the month and there are probably Knicks fans out there who want to see how their big free-agency acquisition…

Kevin Knox 17 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2020)

Last year, Kevin Knox was the worst midrange shooter in the league who had considerable volume. He was 42 of 173 on midrange attempts, good for 24%. This season, he is NOT the worst midrange shooter in the league. He’s pretty bad, but not the worst. Obviously, the raw volume of those shots is down…

RJ Barrett 23 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2020)

RJ Barrett has improved his ROTY of the year candidacy by contributing directly to an unexpected Knicks victory over the Heat. He could have contributed even more by hitting more of his free throws at the end of the game, but it was still a very good game for the rookie. However, the ROTY of…

Frank Ntilikina 16 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2020)

Frank Ntilkina has been hovering around an average of ten points per 36 minutes all three years he’s been in the league. This season, that puts him at 263 out of 287 players who meet the unknowable qualification criteria for appearing on basketball-reference’s per-36 scoring leaderboards (by the way, Kenrich Williams really sucks). Ntilkina’s shooting…

RJ Barrett 19 Points Full Highlights (1/7/2020)

The answer to the question “Who on the Knicks will step up in the absence of Marcus Morris?”: nobody. Nobody stepped up and the result was getting drubbed by the Lakers in a game that was essentially over in the third quarter and where the Knicks went 4-of-20 from three. But rookie RJ Barrett made…

RJ Barrett 24 Points Full Highlights (1/5/2020)

Advanced stats nerds will pull out all sorts of math-y mumbo-jumbo to try and tell unsuspecting fans that RJ Barrett isn’t a very good basketball player. That is their whole reason for existing, to “inform” people that good players are actually bad and, similarly, that bad players are actually good. They love it. It gets…

Bobby Portis 20 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

I just want to say something, maybe it’s not going to be about Bobby Portis, but this is my video, I can put whatever I want in the description and no one can stop me, so there: Red Gatorade isn’t even good. To clarify, since there may be multiple varieties of Gatorade that are a…

Marcus Morris 25 Points Full Highlights (1/3/2020)

Marcus Morris has cooled off from three, but he’s still sitting at around 45 percent from deep on the season, and we’re almost half-way through the season. The REALLY nerdy advanced-stat nerds will claim that even a full-season sample size is not enough to accurately judge the quality of a three-point shooter, but I remain…
