https://youtu.be/WGdsFFXtrwI My semi-retirement, which started at the outset of the 2020-21 NBA season, was not quite as retirementful as I would have hoped. While my output of role-player-focused highlightage was significantly reduced from seasons past, the siren call of NBA role-players scoring twentyish points was too alluring for me to resist, and I ended up…

“DEE TEE BEE! DEE TEE BEE! ALL YOUR VIDEOS HAVE BEEN DELETED!” Yes, my dedicated fan, it’s true: my world-renowned YouTube channel was taken down due to multiple copyright claims made by “Aiplex Software Pvt Ltd.” on the morning of Monday, February 19, 2018. Since I know what you’re thinking right now, yes, I am…

https://youtu.be/fW7PewIuNng If you are a TRUE DTB acolyte, you skipped the other boring parts of my full-ilation and went straight to Part IV, where the true scrubs reside. And the TRUER acolytes jumped to minute eight of this video without me even having to command them. And the TRUEST acolytes will not only recognize every…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2020-21 Season Full-ilation Part III)
https://youtu.be/9jLo9zrBK0k Part III of my full-ilation is where things start to get scrubby. Dedicated NBA fans will know most of these players and will appreciate their marginal contributions to their respective teams. Casual NBA fans should proceed to Tik-Tok to watch single clips of LeBron making a juicy fart while fire emojis fly around the…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2020-21 Season Full-ilation Part II)
https://youtu.be/UzKl-LD9cjk Part II of my full-ilation is the installation of the series where more devoted NBA fans will smirk to themselves and think, “I know who that guy is but the casuals don’t” after every clip. But these aren’t the true scrubs. True DTB acolytes know that the true scrubs are still yet to come….
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2020-21 Season Full-ilation Part I)
https://youtu.be/ZSKdj5OOc5g It’s a tradition as old as time, if time only went back half a decade or so: renowned highlights purveyor DownToBuck waiting until the end of the off-season to upload his so-called “full-ilation”, which shows the first made field goal of every player who had the honor of actually making a field goal in…

https://youtu.be/ogx65J9yQM0 The Bucks are NBA champions and it’s making me feel feels that I don’t quite know how to process. I assume the pain coming from my chest and radiating down my arms is typical of the championship experience and not just a heart attack in progress. Anyway, to celebrate this occasion, I will give…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 27 Points Full Highlights (7/8/2021)
https://youtu.be/CyvDoD7W9a4 Not only is 27 points Mikal Bridges playoff career high, a statistic that perhaps lacks impact given that this playoffs is the first ‘offs of his career, but 27 points is also the second most points that Bridges has scored in ANY an NBA game. Now THERE’S a stat which drives home the impact…

https://youtu.be/lugPjNjSphg And so the season comes to a sad end for the Atlanta Hawks. They did what those 60-win Hawks couldn’t: make the ECF Conference Finals and not get totally dominated by LeBron. With a roster that, at the beginning of the season, was considered one of the weaker ones in the league, they stomped…
Read MoreBobby Portis 22 Points Full Highlights (7/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/XhZKhmWWRFk Bobby “Crazy Eyes” Portis was a DNP-CD in the final three games of the Bucks’ second-round series against the Nets. At the time I was befuddled by the decision to sit him, but, given the benefit of hindsight, I’m still a bit befuddled but not as befuddled as I was before. He had scored…
