I don’t see what’s wrong with the name Ogugua. It looks fine to me. Way cooler than most names in the league. So why would Mr. Anunoby abandon it in favor of “Oh Gee” and then spell it like you’re supposed to say “AWGG”? Is he embarrassed of his heritage or something? Too African? That…

Norman Powell 19 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2017)
These highlights aren’t really as good as I thought they’d be. That was what I was thinking throughout the whole process. Like, isn’t Norman Powell supposed to exciting and great and awesome? Raptors fans, those liars, led me to believe that he is a premiere young talent in the league. This video says otherwise. Yeah,…
Read MoreLucas Nogueira Career High 17 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (10/30/2017)
It’s weird. Whenever Jonas Valanciunas has a good game, I write a bunch of stuff pandering to his fans (who are mostly Lithuanians). Things like “Dwane Casey hates Jonas Valanciunas” and “Jonas Valanciunas would average 20/10 if he was used effectively”. But when I make a Lucas Nogueira highlight video, the opportunity arises to hype…
Read MorePascal Siakam 18 Points Full Highlights (10/27/2017)
Siakamania is in full effect! 20 points against the Warriors and 18 points against the Lakers in back-to-back games, I think Pascal Siakam has flashed more offensive skill in those two contests than he has in the whole rest of his career. Move over Ibaka! There’s a new African in town, and his true age…
Read MorePascal Siakam Career High 20 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2017)
How old is Pascal “Pascal’s Wager” Siakam supposed to be? Because I’m looking at the thumbnail, and I’m sure you looked at the thumbnail and had these same thoughts, I’m looking at the thumbnail and this dude looks 35 years old. And it’s not like the closeups you see of him in the vid itself…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
I know that this is a Serge Ibaka video and I’m supposed to write a description about Serge Ibaka. But I don’t want to write about Serge Ibaka. I want to write about Raptors commentator Matt Devlin and how he turns every made three-pointer into a geography quiz. We get it, dude. You know the…
Read MoreJakob Poeltl 14 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/21/2017)
The Raptors’ center situation can be viewed, not as a clash of basketball players and their respective talents, but as a geopolitically-charged morass that’s waiting to explode at any moment. With Valanciunas represnting Lithuania, Poeltl representing Austria, and Nogueira representing Brazil, you can bet that the embassies of these countries are watching the situation very…
Read MoreDelon Wright 13 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
Last year, Delon Wright scored this exact amount of points on two occasions, and in none of the other twenty-five games that he appeared in did he score more than that. Once the season ended, there was a small amount of regret that I had not managed to honor the legacy of departed highlights legend…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 23 Points Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
In a way, Jonas Valanciunas performance tonight was by far the most impressive one on the team, even more than the raw point totals indicate. All his other teammates were matched up against role-players who aren’t very successful as NBA roster material. But Valanciunas was matched up against Robin Lopez, who is definitely NBA-caliber, and…
Read MoreC.J. Miles 22 Points/6 Threes Raptors Debut Full Highlights (10/19/2017)
Historically, there has not been much interest in highlights of C.J. Miles. Not much at all. Basically zero. Interest for C.J. Miles the sexy Instagram model is way higher, but for some reason I don’t get to do highlights of Instagram models. I’m stuck with the lame C.J., the one who played for the Pacers…
