I’m currently reminiscing about Alec Burks’ surprisingly lengthy career and I just recalled how there was a stretch of seasons with the Jazz where Burks was never really healthy and was often missing extended stretches of games with some physical ailment or another. Honestly, at that time, I expected Burks’ career to be over; while…

Raul Neto Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (8/11/2020)
The preferred method of watching this video is to unfocus your eyes and sort of gaze at the screen of your video-viewing device without actually looking specifically at it. If you follow these recommendations, you can pretend that the 76ers’ Raul Neto is one of the following players: -Steve Nash. Nash was known for his…
Read MoreAlec Burks 20 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
In my last Alec Burks video description, which was written just two days ago, I had these words to say: “Now Josh Richardson is slumping hard but Burks is there to pic up the slack! This is exactly why they got him!” Boy, do I look foolish now or what? Josh Richardson broke out of…
Read MoreAlec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)
Remember when Alec Burks was on the Warriors as their de facto #1 scoring option? That seems like so long ago. Like it happened in a different reality, almost. Things were so innocent back then. If you had combined the words “NBA” and “bubble” in a sentence, people would have thought you were talking about…
Read MoreBen Simmons All 98 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Sitting in the empty bleachers with a basketball sitting inertly between his feet, Ben Simmons idly browsed his phone. He knew he was supposed to be grateful that the 76ers had lined up an empty gym, completely free of COVID-19, for him to practice in, but he just couldn’t work up the motivation to actually…
Read MoreShake Milton 20 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I feel like 76ers fans have major beefs with pretty much every player on their roster. Ben Simmons: Can’t shoot, won’t shoot, will ignore pleading of coaches and teammates for him to please, please, please shoot the ball Joel Embiid: Inexplicably disappears in important games, Al Horford: Huge waste of money, old, can’t shoot, can’t…

I don’t want to alarm anybody, but I have to share this startling and worrying fact that I just learned about Raul “Brazilian Steve Nash” Neto: He’s already 27 years old. I guess this is what happens when your rookie year happens when you’re 23. You spend a few years adjusting to the league and…
Read MoreGlenn Robinson III Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2020)
Before he departed from Golden State, Glenn Robinson III was working on a stretch where he had 11 out of 12 games scoring double figures. In retrospect, it was clear that the Warriors were showcasing him for a trade, but that doesn’t invalidate the points he was putting up on a nightly basis. He still…
Read MoreShake Milton Career High 39 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Shake Milton opened his eyes, took one look at the unfamiliar surroundings, and wearily closed his eyes again. He knew he was dreaming, and attempted to will himself into waking up. However, when he next opened his eyes, the scene hadn’t changed, and there was still the hardness of stone against his back rather than…

In the absence of other subjects to base this description on, I decided to look up Shake Milton’s hometown of Owasso, Oklahoma. But first I’ll list out my preconceived notions of what Owasso might be like. The name of the town makes it sound like it was hit by a tornado in the movie Twister…
