When I saw Devin Booker take that hard fall during tonight’s game against the Pistons, one thought immediately popped into my head: “He dead” Like, I was freaking out because I just saw a dude DIE during an NBA game, not just a fan either, but a player, a player in the god-damn PRIME of…

Kristaps Porzingis 17 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (12/2/2015)
If you couldn’t tell from my recently uploaded October/November dunkilation, I am officially on the Kristaps Porzingis bandwagon. I don’t know how any NBA fan couldn’t be. A hypothetical person who could hypothetically find it within themselves to hypothetically not root for a three-point shooting, putback dunking, beanpole rookie from Latvia would hypothetically be a…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (October/November 2015 Dunkilation)
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DUNK To understand how the modern dunk came to exist, we must first go back. Far, far back. Back before Dr. Naismith first nailed a peach basket to the wall of his gymnasium, back even before the first human was pitted against another in a sporting contest. Before the dawn…
Read MoreMeyers Leonard 23 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2015)
Meyers Leonard heard the telltale chime his phone made when it received a text. This sound used to fill him with excitement as he would wonder which one of his friends wanted to hang out. However, in the past few weeks, this wonder had been ousted from his mind, only to be replaced by dread….

Plays next to an inferior center of the opposite skin color? Check. Has “Captain Hook” nickname: He does now! Check. Benched for no reason for way too long? Check. Burned down an…
Read MoreShane Larkin 11 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/1/2015)
It seems like so long ago since Shane Larkin was a relevant basketball player. His three years so far in the NBA have been marked by no notable occurrences, no outstanding performances, and a whole bunch of butt splinters. I guess there really isn’t a market for a tiny point guard who can’t shoot and…
Read MoreBrandon Knight 27 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2015)
Things are pretty bad over here in Buck-land. This season’s slow start combined with MCW’s total ineffectiveness has people pining for the days of Brandon Knight. Brandon Knight! By the time he was traded, Milwaukee fans had achieved unanimity in their animosity towards him. How soon they forget. To be fair to the Knight in…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 27 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2015)
After an uneventful evening that was mostly occupied by Andrew practicing his jumpshot with a slightly-less-than-inflated basketball, he returned to his room to find Dooby already asleep. Being as quiet as possible, he slipped into his own bunk, thankful that Dooby, as cool as he seemed, wasn’t awake to call him a fag. The next…
