The Internet is a strange place. No matter how completely underwhelming an NBA player is, there will always be supporters of that player scattered around message boards and comment sections, waiting to defend their player’s reputation against “haters”. You cannot call someone a bust without a bunch of angry responses attempting to refute your point….

Frank Kaminsky 16 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2016)
In any other draft class, Frank Kaminsky’s rookie year would be just fine for most people. Not amazing by any means, but fine. But this is not any other draft class. This draft class has Towns, Okafor, and Porzingis. Three rookie bigs who came out of the gate ready to dominate. And their collective performances…
Read MoreJohnny O’Bryant 12 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
Johnny “Irish Kobe” O’Bryant is a rare feature on my channel. There is a very clear and obvious reason for this: he kind of sucks. Bad. Relatively speaking, that is. I’m sure he would dominate HARD in Europe. But in the NBA, he just doesn’t offer much. He has a jumper, sort of, which helps…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to deliver this breaking news bulletin: Giannis Antetokounmpo can shoot threes now. Last night marked the first time since the final contest of his rookie season that he hit multiple threes in a game. Would a player who wasn’t able to shoot threes be able to do that? Of…
Read MoreMaurice Harkless 20 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
I can say “5 dunks” in the video title as much as I want, but that’s not going to change the fact that none of the dunks was especially heart-pounding in nature. Moe Harkless has been a very frequent dunker when he gets minutes (JACQUE VAUGHN I’M COMING FOR YOU) but the quality of his…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
Shabazz Muhammad heard his doorbell ring. Hustling to see who it was, he opened the door only to see a UPS driver walking back to the familiar brown truck parked on the street. Looking down on the porch, there was a medium-sized cardboard box. This surprised Shabazz, since he had not ordered anything online recently…
Read MoreC.J. McCollum 30 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
DownToBuck is a man of honesty. When he is proven to be wrong, he admits it. So it is with that in mind that he offers you this statement: I’m sorry I called Damian Lillard “The next Brandon Jennings”. Yeah, I know, this is a C.J. McCollum vid. But I’m not ever going to get…
Read MoreMetta World Peace 17 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
The answer to the question “How long would DownToBuck last in a fistfight with Metta World Peace who once went into the stands and punched fans while performing under the alias ‘Ron Artest’.” depends on many factors. One such factor: how long I could run away from him before he’d track me down and deliver…
Read MoreSeth Curry 17 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
I am getting some pretty legitimate C.J. McCollum vibes from Seth Curry. This makes sense, because I have previously stated my reception of Stephen Curry (Seth’s brother you dummy) vibes from C.J. McCollum. Anyway, am I the only one receiving these vibes? They seem very obvious to me. Both players are older than usual for…
Read MoreCarl Landry 22 Points Full Highlights (4/5/2016)
It’s well known that fans from Philadelphia are the worst in the league. From throwing batteries at opposing players to puking on little girls to pretending that a meat-and-cheese sandwich is in some way a unique and admirable cultural symbol, they have proven that they have no respect for the purity of sports or its…
