OAKLAND, CA — This moment never really got the proper amount of attention it deserved. On that day after practice in December of 2018, the Golden State Warriors had a bunch of special guests there and so the whole “Boogie-dunked-on-KD” event was well-covered and went viral quickly and easily on social media.
We had well more than this five minutes of footage and had to be careful with the background music for YouTube copyright purposes, not to mention the NBA’s rule of not posting more than two minutes of footage at any one time. So we hurried up that day and spliced the action as best we could, leading to three two-minute uploads — not the most ideal way to do it especially when you’ve got aggregators already reporting this moment and re-aggregators uploading that copied moment onto YouTube. All the while you’re still frantically editing your original content so that it adheres not only to YouTube’s but also the NBA’s protocols.
But during pandemic times now here in 2020 and no NBA events with which we’re usually credentialed, we’re re-uploading some full “stories” to get the proper context of covering the Warriors.
This 1-on-1 matchup between previous Team USA teammates Kevin Durant and DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins is so special because of how different their body types and games are. The jostling for position down low was epic! You can see KD try to employ a variety of fade-aways and fakes, while Boogie tried some finesse moves, but ultimately was better served going back to his power game. And KD’s buddy Quinn Cook checking to see if he was alive 😂
TheAthletic beatwriter Anthony Slater even gave us a pat on the back for capturing this moment, saying it was right up our alley for the type of content on this channel. You know, quite different than the traditional writer’s goal of chronicling the Warriors as no journalist was going to write an article about how Boogie beat KD in a 1-on-1 — this stuff isn’t covered in the San Francisco Chronicle or San Jose Mercury.
But I had to remind him that the number of media and guests at this practice, plus the fact popular Warriors fan pages that aggregate media’s hard-earned content, stolen — er, reposted — from the media that just post these quick five-second moments on social media for free (can’t really blame them, either, as they get the same paycheck every two weeks whether their video is posted for free or not), would render my clip a commodity. You win some, you lose some. Okay, actually you lose most and hope the big ones like Steph making 93/100 threes pay off in the end. It’s the good and bad of Instagram/Twitter aggregators; mostly bad for us because we’re in a sweet spot of subscribers and followers, trying to keep growing our niche. So if you’ve ever wondered why we treat aggregators with disdain, that’s why.
