The industry-standard best practice for making NBA highlight videos is to use the correct commentary whenever possible. In most cases, the correct commentary is provided by the broadcast team of the team that the player in question plays for. In the case of Pascal Siakam, that would be the Raptors’ broadcast crew which usually consists…

Matt Thomas All 35 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
Matt Thomas looked at his phone with scorn. He had, out of habit, opened his mobile banking app, and now the screen was showing him a checking account balance that was healthy but hadn’t increased at all over the past month. He knew that he should be grateful for the financial security that being an…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 27 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2020)
Since I wore myself out writing some other descriptions tonight, I present to you my latest low-effort drivel disguised as semi-serious journalism: OFFICIAL FAMILY-FRIENDLY EUPHEMISMS FOR SERGE IBAKA’S “THINGY” POWER RANKINGS: 1. “Thingy” 2. “Pants Python” 3. “Sweatpants Snake” 4. “The Congolese Crusher” 5. “(Not-So-)Little Serge” 6. “The Pipe” 7. “Meat” [POWER GAP] 9001. “Cockle-Doodle-Doo”…
Read MoreNorman Powell 31 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2020)
Since returning from injury, Norman Powell has been on a tear, averaging 28 points over the last 5 games. You could look at the last 5 games for a lot of the stars in the league, and I bet a lot of them aren’t averaging even close to that. That’s my way of saying that…
Read MoreNorman Powell Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2020)
I’m pretty sure that Norman Powell saw that he was playing the Warriors with Stephen Curry, saw all the TNT equipment scattered around the arena, saw the swarms of media members, felt the raucous energy of the fans, and decided that this was game 7 of the NBA Finals and he had to ball out…
Read MoreNorman Powell 26 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2020)
It turns out that Norman Powell is actually really good now, unlike previous years where he was just okay but Raptors fans were hyping him to high heaven. It’s too bad that, now that he’s a legitimately good player, Raptors fans seem to have stopped caring about him (I see the view counts on his…
Read MoreChris Boucher 19 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2020)
Who even wants Marc Gasol to come back? Nobody besides Marc himself and maybe his brother Pau (and their third brother who never made it to the league, Andreas or something). Other than that, I don’t know why you would want that old dude to come back to the court and be old when you…
Read MoreNorman Powell 24 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
Norman Powell is like the original success story of the Masai-era Raptors. They drafted him super late in the draft and he quickly developed into a serviceable player. After some ups and downs in his career, Powell is solidly on the “up” side of the equation this season, but his success has been overshadowed by…
Read MoreOG Anunoby Career High 32 Points/7 Steals Full Highlights (3/1/2020)
OG Anunoby realized that he was lying on a hard surface, and just as quickly realized that there was no reason for him to being on a hard surface unless something had gone terribly wrong. “This isn’t funny, guys,” he said without opening his eyes, assuming that some of his teammates, prone to juvenile practical…
Read MoreNorman Powell 22 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2020)
In the aftermath of the Raptors’ (good team) loss to the Hornets (very not good team), I decide to infiltrate their internet-based hideouts to capture some RAW, UNFILTERED emotion from crushed Raptors fans. Keep in mind that the following quotes are UNEDITED and TOTALLY RAW. I didn’t even correct their spelling mistakes. That’s how you…
