Justin Harper 9 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

When I saw the name “Justin Harper” on a Pistons boxscore a few nights ago, I thought to myself, “Why does that name seem familiar?” After some intrepid internet sleuthing, I determined that Harper had indeed been in the NBA once before, all the way back in the 2011-12 season, when he played with the…

Shabazz Muhammad 24 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

The pacing of this video is so screwed up that I honestly can’t even recommend that you watch it. That’s right: I’m uploading this video despite being unconvinced of its watchability. The reason? The entire second half of the video is free throws. Free throws and a goaltended shot. It’s not my fault though. I’m…

Nikola Vucevic 28 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Yesterday saw a clash of two of the league’s premiere offensive bigmen, Nikola Vucevic and Jahlil Okafor. Coincidentally, neither of them play very much defense, thus we were treated to a scoring exhibition with a final score of 130-116, quite impressive considering that neither the Magic nor the 76ers are considered powerhouse scoring teams. It’s…

Gerald Henderson 19 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Meyers Leonard sat down next to Gerald Henderson’s locker. “Hey Gerald,” he greeted wearily. Gerald, who was used to Meyers being perkier when talking with his teammtes, could tell something was amiss. “Something on your mind, man?” “Neil really liked LaMarcus, didn’t he?” Meyers asked rhetorically, referring to Blazers GM Neil Olshey. “I think I…

Meyers Leonard 17 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Meyers Leonard is one of a rare breed: the true center who can shoot threes. Not content to be pigeonholed as a stretch-four, he is a pure stretch-five. He is also soft as tissue paper, but that’s not the point right now. Back to threes-pointers. Boy, is he shooting a lot of them. A little…

Delon Wright 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Attention aspiring highlight makers: the channel name “delon15” is still available! Perfect if you want to pay homage to both Delon Wright and the immortal YouTube NBA highlight deity dorell15. dorell15 made highlights of all players, but he enjoyed most of all making highlights of Dorell Wright (Delon’s brother, but you knew that already). If…

Jahlil Okafor 26 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

While watching this video, I advise you to not think too hard about how Jahlil Okafor actually looks. I don’t mean in comparison to the average human. I mean how he looks AS a human being. Like, if you start paying attention, it all starts seeming very weird. A lump of meat with four spindly…

Mario Hezonja 13 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Another case of “DownToBuck sees that such-and-so player has a good amount of points in the first quarter and gets way too excited, imagining point totals for said player that end up being laughably optimistic”. This keeps happening, but can I be blamed for wanting to see Mario Hezonja score 25 or even 30? I…

Aaron Gordon Career High 22 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Aaron Gordon showed us lots of stuff in this game. Lots of GOOD stuff. Pretty much his full arsenal of abilities was on display, so much so that it would be quicker to list the stuff he DIDN’T do: Pullup midrange jumpers Any midrange jumpers Free-throw line dunks Windmill dunks Dunks involving the mascot Everything…

Terrence Ross 27 Points Full Highlights (2/28/2016)

Every time I try to write something even vaguely critical of Terrence Ross or even the Raptors as a team, I get a flood of angry Canadians commenting, telling me that I’m wrong and that even if I wasn’t wrong, my team (the Bucks) really sucks so I am not in a position to criticize….
