How unfair is it that Kelly Oubre and Ricky Rubio are on the same team? Not only are they both skilled basketball players who most fans would want on their team, but they might be the most attractive teammate duo in the league. I was struck by this when I saw Oubre smiling at Rubio…

Cheick Diallo 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Cheick Diallo entered the locker room after the game and boldly walked up to where Deandre Ayton was sitting. “You should just leave,” Cheick said to his teammate. “It’s obvious you’re not needed on this team anymore.” “Don’t let two good games get to your head, man,” Deandre answered. “You make it hard to be…
Read MoreCameron Johnson 17 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
Cameron “Viva la Cam” Johnson is one of seven rookies currently shooting over 40% from three, excluding rookies who haven’t taken a meaningful amount of attempts from there (sorry Mfiondu Kabengele, your three-of-five shooting doesn’t qualify here). Johnson is, along with Kendrick Nunn and Ky Bowman, shooting a considerably higher volume than the other four…
Read MoreDario Saric 18 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2019)
Dario Saric came as he’s probably ever going to come to a 20-20 game in the NBA. If he goes back to Europe early, within the next few years, he’ll likely get one every game (to go with 10 assists), but in the NBA, he’s not going to be grabbing 20 rebounds very often. 20-20…
Read MoreElie Okobo 16 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2019)
I was thinking about things, and one of the things I was thinking about was how there aren’t really any NBA teams that have what could be called a “big three”. “Big threes” were the hottest and coolest trend in team-building a few years ago, but now it seems like a bunch of “big twos”….
Read MoreCheick Diallo 22 Points Full Highlights (11/24/2019)
Even with Deandre Ayton, the Suns starting center and probable franchise cornerstone, out of the picture because of steroids, Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo wasn’t getting regular playing time. It took the backup center, Aron Baynes, going down with injury before Diallo could finally crack the rotation and start doing Diallo-y things. Prior to tonight,…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 25 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
Kelly “The Oubremensch” Oubre is averaging a career-high in points, shooting career-high percentages from the field, from three, and from the line, and is also averaging career highs in assists in rebounds. By any standard that you can measure (and even some you can’t measure, like facial attractiveness and “goofy yet cute antics per 36”),…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 25 Points Full Highlights (11/21/2019)
Walking aimlessly around the lawns and gathering places of the local college campus, Kelly Oubre kept his eyes peeled for suitable interview candidates. He was holding his iPhone in one hand, capturing all the footage of his movements, and a GoPro was strapped to his chest to get a different angle of the same shot….
Read MoreKelly Oubre 20 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2019)
The first video in the new “DownToStatpad” era of my channel, an era where I statpad the content of videos/the amount of videos in order to increase exposure, is off to a rocky start. The video itself is not a statpadded video, because Kelly Oubre scoring 20 points is a totally legit performance that would…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 17 Points Full Highlights (11/19/2019)
In flagrant violation of the spirit of basketball, the concept of ‘sportsmanship’, and the explicit wishes of basketball inventor Dr. James Naismith, Frank Kaminsky made a three-pointer in this game with just two seconds left. The three-pointer cut the lead from seven to four, but had no chance of affecting the outcome of the game….
