Austin Rivers is probably the best current NBA player named after a fluvial landform. DownToBuck looks back on some of the other greats who shared this characteristic: Larry Lagoon: Playing for the Rochester Royals in the mid-50’s, Lagoon was known as a flashy dribbler, developing a type of proto-crossover known as the “Very Larry” which…

Tobias Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This video is 111 seconds long, with 60 frames per second (I swear). That means 6600 pictures are contained in this video, plus 1 for the thumbnail. If this description were to accurately describe the contents of this highlight package, I would have to write roughly…
Read MoreJabari Parker 10 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Someone obviously told Jabari that he only had one total assist coming into last night’s game. Not his fault, he’s a designated scorer on a team that needs it. Hard to pass when you can get a decent shot any time you want. Anyway, it was obvious because Jabari had an easy layup on a…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 11 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Turn on your mental machinery, ever rusted by the passing of time, and cast your mind all the way back to Giannis’ first preseason game with the Bucks. Or you could just watch the highlights to remind yourself. Either way, you will see a fadeaway stepback jumper in the manner of one Dirk Nowitzki being…
Read MoreKevin Seraphin 15 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2015)
Bonjour mes amis. Je sais que vous les Français ne peuvent pas obtenir assez de vidéos de Kevin Séraphin, si je fait celui-ci pour vous. Je vous souhaite, et je me souviens de manger beaucoup de fromage qui pue! -Votre Vrai frère dans cette vie et la prochaine, Down To Buck
Read MoreGerald Green 26 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Gerald Green, dressed as a banana, walked into the costume party with dread. It was well-known that Miles Plumlee threw the best holiday-themed bashes, but the prospect of scores of hot girls walking around in “naughty nurse” costumes didn’t do much to brighten his mood. He hated Halloween. Why should the concept of hiding your…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 25 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
The Thunder injury situation has bypassed “ludicrous” and has now ventured into “Chris Kaman laying supine on bench chairs” territory. Do you hear that? It’s the siren call of Washington DC, beckoning to Kevin Durant. Even without the reigning MVP and scoring champ, the Thunder are now showcasing their true depth. Which is Serge Ibaka,…
Read MoreIman Shumpert 19 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
If someone who has watched the Knicks more than I have could let me know how the triangle offense is working out, that would be cool. My impression is that it’s not working well at all right now, but keep in mind that I think Phil Jackson is super overrated and Derek Fisher is not…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
I should know by now never to get excited about a good scoring performance in progress. Doug McDermott had 12 in the first half against the Magic. Things were going well, balls were going in holes. It was a prime opportunity to record his first career twenty-burger! I even tuned in for a bit to…
