Ten points. Ten assists. Ten rebounds. Truly the worst triple-double possible. Who else has attained this embarrassing, shameful achievement? Only a few, and they all sucked: Penny Hardaway, Jason Kidd, and Andre Iguodala (twice). All horrible players who were certainly not all-star quality or even close. Only a moron would think that a triple-double of…

Landry Fields 15 Points Full Highlights (3/2/2013)
The Internet is a dark, disturbing place. Full of horrible memes, crappy blogs and their corresponding comment sections, and bronies. But the worst of all is certainly the fanfiction involving Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields. Yeah, I know. Who writes that stuff? I don’t even want to think about it. I blame Google’s autocomplete. It…
Read MoreJohn Lucas 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/10/2013)
Is John Lucas a “veteran”? That’s a good question. He is thirty years old, which usually would qualify one for veteran status. But this is only his fifth year in the league. Is Michael Beasley a veteran? How about JaVale McGee? Of course those guys aren’t veterans. They can barely lace up their sneakers without…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 14 Points/13 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/8/2013)
I like Jonas Valanciunas. I think it’s because he can make free throws. There is no excuse for an NBA player not to be able to shoot them, but bigmen especially often have a bad time with them. So it’s nice to see an otherwise raw center come into the league with NBA-caliber abilities at…
Read MoreRudy Gay 20 Points (Raptors Debut) Full Highlights (2/1/2013)
Rudy “Not This Guy” Gay has been having a pretty crappy season so far. That, combined with his ludicrous contract, would seem to make him an undesirable player to acquire. Tell that to Bryan Colangelo, who happily sent out Jose Calderon and Ed Davis for him. So by next year two-thirds of their cap will…
Read MoreAlan Anderson Career High 27 Points (19 in 2nd) Full Highlights (1/6/2013)
NBA highlights are funny things. The ones with the most views are, obviously, the superstars. Stuff like LeBron getting triple-doubles or Kobe scoring ridiculous amounts of points. But why? Everyone knows they can do that stuff. It’s no surprise when Griffin throws it down again or Carmelo scores 40. The real surprise is when the…
Read MoreTerrence Ross Career High 26 Points (6 Threes) Full Highlights (1/2/2013)
Raptors fans have been known to lament about Ross “What is the point of having a shooting guard who can’t shoot?”. Which is of course missing the point. He may not be able to shoot, but why shoot it when you can just run in and jam it? Silly Canadians. And it turns out they’re…
Read MoreEd Davis 24 Points/12 Rebounds Full Highlights (12/12/2012)
I’d hate to be a Raptors fan right now. They suck. It’s weird too, because you look at their roster and you think “Yeah, they’ve got some nice players, maybe they can make the playoffs in the weak East this year”. But no. No playoffs, just another lottery pick that turns out crappy like the…
Read MoreTerrence Ross Career High 19 Points/4 Huge Jams Full Highlights (11/27/2012)
Remember Vince Carter? Of course you do. He’s only the greatest dunker of all time. His tenure with the Raptors featured some of the greatest jams the world has ever seen. But after his acrimonious departure, a void was left in the hearts of Canadians everywhere. A void previously occupied by amazing slamma-jammas. But weep…
Read MoreJose Calderon 18 Assists Full Highlights (11/18/2012)
Assists are funny things. What is an assist? Per Wikipedia: “An assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score by field goal.” Okay, that’s great. Jose Calderon picked up 18 of the little bastards. No problem, right? WRONG. Calderon was the benefactor…
