I like that. If I miss a game then I can watch those videos and feel like I saw a lot of the game. Would be really boring if they showed fouls, missed shots, inbounds passes, turnovers etc.
But you don't get any of the defensive plays other than big blocks sometimes.
How would those be highlights? The point is it misses stuff like Conley's layup, steal, then 3, and many blocks and steals and other exciting plays. While including every layup regardless of circumstances. These are fine if you missed the game and want a condensed version, but they are supremely boring if you had hoped to wack it to the exciting plays of the game.
It isn't about quantity, it is about quality. Highlight videos used to take the best plays, the most exciting plays, and get them from various angles, and not include basic plays like standard layups and like a 15 foot jumper with no one around the guy. Those are scoring plays, sure, but by the very definition of highlight, they do not fit the bill. And often the defensive plays are bigger highlights than many of the scoring plays, like many of Gobert's dunks, and most if not all of those get left out of these "game summary" videos. I had hoped to see Bogey's pass off the backboard for Mitchell's dunk from 3 different angles and such, but it was in the "highlight" videos I saw once and from the regular angle. Not enough emphasis on the real highlights of the game for me. I was simply lamenting the fact that these kinds of highlight videos have been replaced with game summary videos which do very little to capture the excitement of the game, when much of it looks like layup or shooting drills.
