Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 23 Points Full Highlights (11/2/2019)

When the Paul George trade happened, there were a fair few people out there who were thinking to themselves “That’s actually not such a horrible deal for the Thunder”. Sure, they lost their superstar, but let’s look at the facts: Paul George has degenerative shoulders. His shoulders are like the opposite of Dwight Howard’s shoulders…

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 22 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2019)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander better watch out, or he’s going to find himself in a nice cozy spot on my exclusion list. I’ve been kinda busy with other stuff, so I haven’t yet publicized this year’s version of “the list”, which means I can add and remove names to it whenever I want. If I don’t want…

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Career High 28 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)

I’m starting to doubt the validity of the “Point Guard” designation that has been heretofore applied to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The idea of having a tall PG is something that all NBA general managers like the sound of, and for obvious reasons. Who wouldn’t want a small forward-sized guy with PG skills terrorizing the midgets that…

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Career High 26 Points Thunder Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)

It’s always kind of sad when a young player is touted by an organization as a big part of the future, their face is plastered everywhere, the commentators are instructed to hype them up as much as possible, and then the second a chance to make a superteam arrives, they’re kicked to the curb like…

Jerami Grant All 101 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)

The two brothers, one taller, one shorter but still quite tall, were sitting on the taller one’s couch, engrossed in a game of NBA 2K. As the differences in scores between their two teams got larger and larger, the shorter one became visibly frustrated. After the taller one executed a perfect alley oop between his…

Paul George All 292 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation Part II)

This is part two of my behind-the-scenes oral history of the epic Paul George/Kawhi Leonard saga that saw both stars wind up on the Los Angeles Clippers, defying the expectations of the entire NBA cognoscenti.

Paul George All 292 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Three-ilation Part I)

The entire power balance of the NBA was shaken when superstars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard went to the Los Angeles Clippers on the fateful day of July 10, 2019. In the 48 hours both preceding and following the acquisitions, many phone calls were placed, much strategizing was done, and many tears were shed. In…

Jerami Grant 18 Points Full Highlights (4/19/2019)

Nice of the Thunder role-players to make some threes in this game, after being a combined 0-for-94 in the first two games. If you listen closely, you can hear the home crowd sigh in relief when Jerami Grant hits a three 30 seconds into the game after (obviously, given the above stat) not hitting one…

Dennis Schröder 32 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2019)

Dënniß ßchrööder was a 29% three-point shooter last season, so the fact that he had the audacity to take fifteen three-point attempts in this game is both surprising and somewhat admirable. In a way. I guess. He’s a better shooter this season from deep (34%, which is more in line with his career average) but…

Jerami Grant 28 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2019)

If you had told me before the season that Jerami Grant would be far and away the better player between him and Markieff Morris, I would have considered your statement carefully for a few seconds and then said, “That is possible, I suppose, but I am very skeptical.” I also would have wondered what the…
