John Lucas 19 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/10/2013)

Is John Lucas a “veteran”? That’s a good question. He is thirty years old, which usually would qualify one for veteran status. But this is only his fifth year in the league. Is Michael Beasley a veteran? How about JaVale McGee? Of course those guys aren’t veterans. They can barely lace up their sneakers without…

Alec Burks Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2013)

Is Alec Burks any good? That’s a good question. I guess we’ll never find out because Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin seems content to let him wither away on the bench while playing a bunch of useless journeymen ahead of him. At least that was the case until tonight, when Corbin decided to give the…

Jeremy Pargo 12 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/9/2013)

Last time you saw Jeremy Pargo on this channel, he was tearing it up with Cavaliers. Since then, he has been putting up some pretty poor numbers. So poor that he was waived by the Cavaliers. But did Jeremy give up? No! Well, kind of. He did spend a week doing nothing but watching Price…

Charlie Villanueva 21 Points/2 Blocks (2/8/2013)

Remember when Charlie Villanueva went crazy and chased Ryan Hollins all through the hallways of the Palace? I don’t even remember what Hollins did. Probably called him a cancer patient or something. Anyway, if my recollection is correct, Villanueva eventually cornered Hollins in the visitor’s locker room and slapped him in the nads, all while…

Greivis Vasquez Triple Double (21 Pts/12 Asts/11 Rebs) Full Highlights (2/8/2013)

Greivis Vasquez is leading the league in assists. He’s got more assists than anybody. Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, literally every other player in the NBA, all these dudes have fewer assists than General Greivis. That blows my mind, and it should blow your mind as well. With him averaging nearly 10 assists a…

Eric Gordon 27 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2013)

If Eric Gordon were a tree, what kind of tree would he be? I say oak, because oak trees are really good at shooting long, contested two-pointers. Wait, that’s just Eric Gordon. Let me think…is there any type of tree that’s good at shooting with a hand in its face? Or maybe there’s some kind…

Thabo Sefolosha 18 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2013)

I received this email from Thabo Sefolosha a few weeks ago: “Dear Mr. ToBuck, How come you don’t have any highlights of me on your world-renowned YouTube channel? I am a very good defender with a nice three-point shot who knows his role on a championship contending team. Please respond post haste. Thabo Sefolosha” I…

Jonas Valanciunas 14 Points/13 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/8/2013)

I like Jonas Valanciunas. I think it’s because he can make free throws. There is no excuse for an NBA player not to be able to shoot them, but bigmen especially often have a bad time with them. So it’s nice to see an otherwise raw center come into the league with NBA-caliber abilities at…

Daequan Cook 19 Points (and a dunk) Full Highlights (2/7/2013)

Okay, this is weird. Coach Thibodeau is well-known for not utilizing his bench players effectively, and Daequan Cook is one of the victims of Thiobdeau’s schemes. But in this blowout loss against the Nuggets, Rip Hamilton only played 17 minutes, and with Marco Belinelli not playing, Mr. Third-Stringer actually got to play meaningful minutes for…

Danny Green Career High 28 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/6/2013)

Would Danny Green look as good as he does on the Spurs with any other team. Probably not. The Spurs have a way of making role-players look like, um, not role-players. Like Danny Green. He really can’t do much besides get to open spots and shoot threes. But the Spurs don’t need him to do…
