Tony Snell, man. This dude is one of a kind. He continues to put up numbers that no one else in NBA history can put up.
One moment he’s giving you one of the most historically unique NBA seasons you’ve ever seen. In the next, he’s quite literally giving you nothing. The variance is pretty wild with him, but it’s also very cool to see.
Snell has given us straight zeros across the box score a couple of times in his career so far. One time when he was with the Portland Trail Blazers in 13 minutes and another time with the Milwaukee Bucks in 28 minutes.
On Wednesday night in the Pelicans game against the Magic, he almost gave us another one of his patented Snell straight zero games. In 31 minutes, he did not score a point. He did not register an assist. He did not make a single shot or free throw.
We were one rebound and two steals away from getting what we wanted, folks. We were robbed.

Now, look. I know Tony Snell probably hates these games. I know he does. But me? I see them as a badge of honor.
I’ve never seen an NBA player do absolutely nothing statistically impactful in an NBA game as masterfully as this. I mean, it has to be masterful, right? After all, he’s still got a job.
But, hey, man. At least he grabbed that rebound. NBA fans were thrilled for him. They also had some pretty good jokes, too.
