Mario Hezonja 14 Points Full Highlights (1/31/2018)

Mario Hezonja had a successful three-point excursion for the second straight game, nailing four of five triples in this one after hitting three of five in the previous game. Two games is a small sample size, too small to draw useful conclusions, but I’m sure all you optimists out there are saying to yourselves, “Hezonja’s…

Shelvin Mack 15 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2018)

I have lately developed a compulsion to have a highlight video for a player at each stop of their journey through the NBA. If some guy played for some team for a season or even half a season, I want a video of it so that future NBA enthusiasts can see with their own eyes…

Marreese Speights 17 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)

It seems like forever ago when Marreese “Mo Buckets” Speights was the Warriors’ 6th man chucker. Normally teams go for midget shooting guards when selecting their 6th man chuckers, but Golden State saw Speights’ chucking potential, and went for it despite him being a power forward. He basically chucked them to a championship, except for…

Mario Hezonja 17 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2018)

Mario Hezonja has definitely shown enough this season for some team to want him before the trade deadline. Definitely. The Magic, obviously, aren’t super interested in investing any more resources into him. He’s a relic of the past, already in his third year in the league. My theory is they’re only letting him play so…

Khem Birch 11 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)

Khem “The Alkhemist” Birch is already 25 years old, just in case you were thinking about getting hyped for him. You’re still allowed to get a little hyped, but that’s because he’s Canadian, not because of what age he is. If your first thought when you first saw him (which might have been right as…

Aaron Gordon 22 Points Full Highlights (1/27/2018)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player of Aaron Gordon’s size and build do those stepback jumpers that he does. He’s so SPRINGY on those, and he jumps WAY back. It’s starting to seem like that’s his go to move; he even does it from behind the arc. Stepback threes are an iffy proposition…

Elfrid Payton 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/23/2018)

There was a period of time last season when it seemed like Elfrid Payton was getting a triple-double every other game. I’m sure the frequency wasn’t that high, but that’s what it felt like to me, since I was the one who had to make all those damn highlight videos. This year, however, Payton has…

Elfrid Payton 22 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)

Magic fans are always complaining that Elfrid Payton doesn’t have a jumper, but he’s shooting acceptable percentages from both midrange and beyond the arc, albeit on a limited number of attempts. There are a lot of alleged “shooters” who have worse shooting percentage than his. He might pass up open looks because he’s not overly…

Evan Fournier Career High 32 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2018)

I could’ve sworn Evan Fournier scored more than this once upon a time. But I search “Evan Fournier career high” on YouTube, and it says 30. I guess that must be it, because I wouldn’t’ve ignored any higher total for him. As evidenced by this video. I’ve been ignoring Fournier for a lot of the…

Khem Birch 12 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/16/2018)

I guess you could say Khem Birch and the rest of the Magic are developing some… Khemistry! HAHA! HA! WOOOOOO! YES! I’ve been waiting all year to make that joke, and it’s just as great as I imagined it was going to be. I was beginning to worry that it would never happen, but the…
