DownToBuck is a man. A man who admits his mistakes. After Kemba’s first year in the league, I thought he was going to suck forever. An unconscionable chucker whose career percentage from the field would never eclipse 40%. Allen Iverson 0.5. I was mistaken. Kemba Walker is pretty bad, but he has shown the ability…

OJ Mayo 20 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/12/2013)
Remember at the beginning of the season, when everybody thought OJ “Ovinton J’Anthony” Mayo was going to be the savior of the Mavs? He was shooting 45% from three and everybody was freaking out. I admit, I was freaking out a bit myself. Spray-painting ‘OJ MAYO 4 LYF” on the side of my car was…

Luckily my newer model has patented TerraLocation technology, so I don’t have to worry about orbits and solar movements and such. Anyway, I had…

Josh “Don’t call me McBobs because I don’t really like that nickname” McRoberts is one of the league’s more anonymous players. I don’t know that much about him. He’s a pretty good dunker. Has a jumpshot. White. Looks like he’s gonna cry all the time. A pretty good player, maybe. If you watch these highlights,…
Read MoreDavid West 26 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2013)
David West is a nice player. He plays pretty good defense, though he likes to play the “tough guy” role a little too vigorously. He has a smooth jumper and some good post moves. One thing he doesn’t have, however, is fans. I’m a fan of his, so when I heard that David West would…
