Is there anybody on this planet who considers Evan Fournier to be one of the better up-and-coming shooting guards in the league today? Anybody at all? Sure, he’s playing worse this season than he was last season, but come on. He’s like Victor Oladipo 0.6. There’s gotta be at least one mistreated Magic fan, or…

Michael Carter-Williams 15 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2019)
It’s shameful to admit it, but I think I’m coming full-circle on Michael Carter-Williams. While I am of the opinion that he isn’t a very good basketball player, his fall from grace (going from ROTY of the year to out of the league) saddens me. I think I can finally feel emotions other than agitation…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 20 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
D.J. Augustin has been on the same team for a long time now. He started his career off with a four-year stretch with the Bobcats, but then over the next four years he played with 6 different teams. By the end of that, I had an annual “Where Will D.J. Augustin Get Traded To” trade-deadline-day…
Read MoreEvan Fournier 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
While making this highlight video, I couldn’t help but be distracted by the mysterious red circle on the front of Evan Fournier’s shoulder. It was like a beacon to me. I watched it move across my screen every time I was supposed to be paying attention to the buckets and passes that Fournier was making….
Read MoreTerrence Ross 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/22/2019)
If the Orlando Magic make the playoffs (which still has a 40% chance of happening according to the inerrant basketball-reference), whoever’s the first seed should be very, very afraid of Terrence Ross. He’s turned it up a notch this season, becoming the premier off-the-bench shooter in the NBA. What if he has another notch to…
Read MoreMario Hezonja 23 Points Full Highlights (3/20/2019)
Am I…am I detecting some of that Croatian Swagger that Mario Hezonja was playing with at the end of last season while he was on the Magic? I think so! I think I am indeed detecting the Croatian Swagger once again manifesting itself in Hezonja’s play! Perhaps all that was needed to get him back…
Read MoreWes Iwundu 14 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (3/17/2019)
Fourteen points is Wes Iwundu’s career-high. Twice last year (his rookie year) he scored twelve points (both times receiving a highlight video from yours truly; sadly, both videos were lost in the termination of my previous channel). I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if twelve remained his career-high, because nothing about Iwundu’s game screams “capable…
Read MoreKhem Birch 13 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
Khem “The AlKhemist” Birch ended last season with a unprecedented streak of 6 consecutive double-digit scoring games. “Unprecedented” in that he had never come close to doing such a thing before, not in that no one ever in the history of the NBA had done such a thing. On the contrary, I can think of…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 20 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/14/2019)
Watching D.J. Augustin lay the ball up on an uncontested runout caused me to wonder: can D.J. Augustin dunk the ball? Has he ever dunked the ball? Has ever even ATTEMPTED to dunk the ball? My initial inclination was that, yes, D.J. Augustin must have dunked at some point in his NBA career. He’s short,…
Read MoreTerrence Ross 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
For the first time in his career, I would say that Terrence Ross has reached the greatly-desired status of “good”. Tons of players work their butts off for their whole career and never get there, and that’s what I thought Ross was going to be doing as well. He’s had single games of “good” (who…
