The sounds from the backyard court were unmistakable. The bounce of the ball, the squeaking of sneakers, the swish of the net. The noises continued for a while, before a final whip of the nylon gave way to a whoop of triumph, followed by the sound of heavy breathing. Seth Curry stood on the court,…

Willie Cauley-Stein 15 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2016)
WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN JUMPSHOT ALERT! WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN JUMPSHOT ALERT! WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN MADE A JUMPER! ALERT! ALERT! This is a new era for Willie Cauley-Stein. No longer does he have to hang around the basket and beg for scraps from his more offensively-talented teammates. Those times are over! Now he can shoot jumpshots within fifteen feet whenever…
Read MoreWillie Cauley-Stein 16 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2016)
It’s been a while since a Kings rookie performed to expectations. You’d have to go back to Cousins in 2010 or Tyreke in 2009 to find one that wasn’t disappointing right out of the gate. Jimmer Fredette, Thomas Robinson, Ben McLemore, and Nik Stauskas were all either straight-up bustaroonis or are still trying to figure…
Read MoreDarren Collison 25 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2016)
I’m going to admit, I got a little pissed while making this vid. Like, I have only a finite time to live my life before POOF it’s all gone, and I’m spending it making a Darren Collison highlight package that will only get, at best, 10 or so views. AT BEST. Realistically, I’m expecting a…
Read MoreBen McLemore 26 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2016)
The best thing that can be said for Ben McLemore’s season so far is that he has not had many of his minutes taken away by Caron Butler. Every other comparable player on the Kings’ roster has, but not Caron. So that’s good. Caron really sucks.
Read MoreQuincy Acy 18 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (1/7/2016)
Quincy Acy has certainly been living up to his “assy” nickname this season, but it’s not his fault. Despite the absence of power forwards on the Kings roster (Rudy Gay doesn’t count), Acy rarely sees the court, and when his feet do hit the hardwood, it isn’t for very long. Here we see that if…
Read MoreMarco Belinelli 28 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2015)
Watching the Kings makes me sad. It’s like watching those turn-of-the-millennium Bucks teams except instead of Anthony Mason ruining everything it’s Demarcus Cousins, who is way more talented, which makes it worse, and way more of a nut, which makes it way worse. I try not to subject myself to their games too often. Only…
Read MoreOmri Casspi Career High 36 Points/9 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2015)
Omri Casspi reclined on his couch, tablet in hand, watching some trashy rom-com on Netflix, joined only by an empty carton that once contained General Tso’s chicken. He didn’t particularly care about the plot of the movie; there was a chick, there was a dude, and maybe, if he was lucky, they’d screw at the…
Read MoreDarren Collison 24 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2015)
Strap your butts in, everybody. DTB highlight making rationale coming through. Darren Collison had five assists in this game, which is right on the border for whether I show them or not. For a PG it’s a little low, but I can be swayed if it’s a lower-profile dude, a category that Collison might or…
Read MoreOmri Casspi 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/15/2015)
“You ask him,” whispered Darren Collison, shoving an envelope into Ben McLemore’s hands. Ben handed the envelope back to Darren as if it contained anthrax powdered. “No, you ask him.” “I said it first.” “Fine,” Ben snapped, grabbing the envelope and walking over to where Omri Casspi was sitting in front of his locker, perusing…
