The 76ers commentators clued me in to an interesting fact tonight: Hollis Thompson is the best rookie at shooting threes, at 39%. Out of all the highly touted shooters in this class, the best is some undrafted dude who plays for the worst team in the league. As if you needed more reasons as to…

Jarvis Varnado 9 Points/6 Blocks/2 Dunks Full Highlights (3/29/2014)
“Jarvis, I think you and I both know why I called you into my office today.” Jarvis looked at 76ers GM Sam Hinkie with a quizzical expression. Had he done something wrong? “I’m not following you,” he said. “Maybe this will jog your memory,” Sam said, hitting a button on his remote to turn on…

The never-ending series of experiments that has constituted the end of the 76ers season has not borne much fruit. Almost every player they’ve brought in has looked about as bad as expected. That’s not even counting the season-long Tony Wroten experiment, its hypothesis being “Does Tony Wroten not suck?” and the conclusion, found after much…
Read MoreJames Anderson 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/26/2014)
The 76ers have a streak going. You probably have heard all too much about it, so I won’t talk about that today. It’s not nearly as interesting as the individual streak one of the Philly players has. James Anderson’s 2-game streak of kicking his former team’s ass. He’s like a desperate ex who tries embarrassingly…
Read MoreElliot Williams 14 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2014)
I get inordinately excited when I’m about to make highlights of a player for the first time. It’s sort of like adding another piece of 70’s vintage McDonalds glassware to my collection, except instead of a glass with the Hamburglar on it, it’s a video of a basketball player scoring points. Elliot Williams’ four-year career…
Read MoreByron Mullens 15 Points Full Highlights (3/24/2014)
Watch these highlights and think about how good you have it. In this modern society we often fail to think about the unfortunate circumstances of others. An internet-connected device? Electricity? Be thankful for these things, and other luxuries that you may possess. But mostly, be thankful that you are not a member of the Philadelphia…
Read MoreHenry Sims 18 Points/15 Rebounds Full Highlights (3/22/2014)
Time for some thought exercises. I’m going to throw out a randomly-chosen assortment of current NBA big men, and you tell me if it would be the worst frontcourt rotation ever in NBA history. Henry Sims Brandon Davies Arnett Moultrie Byron Mullens Jarvis Varnado Fooled you! The above players weren’t chosen at random – they…
Read MoreHollis Thompson Career High 17 Points/3 Assists Full Highlights (3/17/2014)
Philadelphia’s “Armored Combat Vehicle” is unstoppable at this point. Hollis Thompson getting 40 minutes in a single game is probably beyond even Hollis’ own wildest fantasies. Other things that are in Hollis’ fantasies: -Playing for a good team -Scoring with that cheerleader Alexandria, she is so cute -Finally beating Super Mario Bros. on N64 -Taking…
Read MoreHenry Sims 10 Points/3 Assists/1 Dunk Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
Remember the basketball hoop you could buy in the original Sims video game? Where your Sim would do a little dance if they made a basket? That’s kind of what I imagined Henry Sims’ game to be like before making these highlights. Now I know I was dead wrong – Sims does not do any…
Read MoreTony Wroten Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2014)
If a player gets a career high while playing with the 76ers, does it make a sound? Well the Philadelphia faithful sure made a lot of noise when Tony Wroten scored his 29th and 30th points with a dunk that tied the game late in the 4th. Sure they only scored 1 more point after…
