Tarik “Tarrick Rose” Black once caught the attention of Aaron Rodgers for his potential as a tight end, despite never having played organized football at any level. In honor of this, DownToBuck takes a look at what sports some other members of the Lakers might be good at: Ryan Kelly: Hurling Robert Sacre: Any sport…

Mike Muscala 17 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Mike Muscala reclined on his couch, eager for another night of ESPN. There was always the chance that his name would get dropped at some point, given that he had been the game’s leading scorer. And if there was even a chance that the name “Mike Muscala” would escape a reporter’s lips, it was his…
Read MoreRichard Jefferson 24 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Not one, but TWO dunks in a game for Richard Jefferson? Not just regular dunks, but posterizing whammers? Forget about Gallo’s 47. Hell, forget about Kobe’s 81 and Wilt’s 100. This is some next-level stuff right here. It would take Dirk a whole season to accumulate that many slams, and ancient RJ is doing it…
Read MoreEnes Kanter 25 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Another good game for Enes Kanter. He really was misunderstood in Utah, I guess. Let this be a lesson to all haters on the internet (including me!): never call a player a bust until they suck for at least two teams. With just one team played for, it could just be a matter of them…
Read MoreDanilo Gallinari Career High 47 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
“Hey man, great game tonight, too bad about the loss, huh?” Wilson Chandler wandered over to Danilo Gallinari’s locker. Danilo looked up, startled, as he hurriedly packed up his stuff. “What? Oh, yeah. I was really feeling it, and the guys kept finding me. I Liked the way they played tonight, lots of hustle, it…
Read MoreBeno Udrih 20 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
This is a very Beno Udrih-esque performance by Beno Udrih. He has done one thing well since entering the league: hit midrange leaning-forward jumpers. His range can extend to the three-point line, but he really prefers to do his damage in the normally-least-efficient section of the court. I was hoping that he wouldn’t hit a…
Read MoreMarcus Smart 19 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
Normally, when a player is a horrible shooter, percentage wise, he gets called out on it by every possible source. His team’s fans, other team’s fans, the general NBA punditry (I include myself in this category), fans from his college days, his mom, everybody. So why is Marcus Smart not receiving any flak for shooting…
Read MoreBojan Bogdanovic 22 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
I’m sure you guys all like Bojan Bogdanovic just fine. Maybe even more than that, given that you’re all either Croatians or Croatian sympathizers. Every time he has a good game, you think about all the residual glory he is spreading to your section of Europe, and thus to yourselves. But I’m tired of him,…
Read MoreTroy Daniels 15 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2015)
DownToBuck: worst talent evaluator ever? If you’ve read even five or ten of my descriptions, you have probably asked the above question, and answered with a resounding “Yes!”. It is true; I pretty much have no idea what I’m talking about, and that’s when I don’t run the self-coded scripts that auto-generate descriptions. A glaring…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 17 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2015)
C.J. McCollum’s good performance is this game might as well have not even happened, as it was completely overshadowed by Steph Curry scoring 45 and breaking his own record for made threes in a season. But what if I told you that McCollum was Curry-lite? Stay with me on this. McCollum shoots threes really well….
