Al-Farouq Aminu 24 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)

It’s easy to forget that Al-Farouq Aminu was a top-10 pick once upon a time. I guess in a way he still is. There were reasons for why he was drafted that high, real reasons that were really reached by real NBA GMs. Those reasons are gone now. One of them might have been “defense”,…

Lauri Markkanen 19 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)

Attention: the move at 0:10 of this video is one of the sickest rookie plays of the year. So smooth, so under control, and we didn’t even get a replay of it. That’s one bad thing about these new timeout rules: not as much time for sick replays! I wanted several angles of Lauri Markkanen…

Thon Maker 16 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)

For one of the few (only?) times this season, Thon Maker did a significant amount of positive stuff on the court, enough to outweigh the negatives. He could have had even more points if he could catch a pass in any sort of traffic, but I’m going to take the handful of three-pointers and the…

Jarrett Allen 16 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2018)

I just finished up my dunks of the month video for December, really great vid by the way, you should check it out, anyway, the most important thing that I learned from that video was this: Jarrett Allen really loves getting dunked on. It must be a fetish or something for him, because he was…

DTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (December 2017 Dunkilation)

Greg slung his gym bag over his shoulder. “I’m heading out to the park, honey. Time for some hoops.” He hoped that his voice sounded convincing. His wife, Lisa, looked up over from the government-produced soap opera that was on the TV. “I ran into your buddy Travis at the store yesterday and he mentioned…

J.J. Barea 12 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

One of my new year’s resolutions was to retake control of my life by ceasing the production of marginal highlight videos. That resolution lasted all of eight hours because I’m uploading this piece of garbage to my channel with only a small amount of regret. J.J. Barea getting a double-double is cool and all, and…

Dennis Smith Jr. 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

Caris LeVert 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

How well does Caris LeVert have to play to permanently unseat DeMarre Carroll from the starting small forward position? He’s already averaging a similar amount of points (12 PPG) in fewer minutes, and gets way more assists. Carroll’s got that whole “gritty defensive mindset” reputation going for him, but the dude’s not even shooting 40%…

Ben Simmons 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

Ben Simmons needs to get back to regularly having 10 assist games/triple-doubles if he wants to guarantee his ROTY of the year trophy. As proven last year with the MVP voting, voters are easily swayed by arbitrary statistical accolades. 10-assist games and triple-doubles are simply compelling in a way that averaging a flat 20/3/3 isn’t….

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/31/2017)

I know it’s working better for him this year, but man, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s shooting form is still one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on an NBA court. And that’s coming from a guy who watched Andrew Bogut turn his arm into a mixture of bone shards and muscle jelly. Does he…
