To honor Alex “Oleksiyiykiy” Len’s career high against the Bucks, I have compiled a list of players/people/places/things that Len dominated tonight: -Brook Lopez. Len dunked on him like four times. It was brutal. Usually ‘Nique’s exaggerated commentary is factually wrong, but when he said that Lopez couldn’t guard Len, he was completely right. -Ersan Ilyasova….

Delon Wright Triple Double 20 Pts/13 Rebs/12 Asts Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
The good news: Delon “Wright as Wrain” Wright had his second-straight triple-double tonight after not having any triple-doubles at all in the first 193 games of his career. That’s not strictly good news for me (since I am currently overburdened by highlight videos that need to be made), and it’s not strictly good news for…
Read MoreSalah Mejri Career High 19 Points/4 Blocks/2 Threes Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
I don’t want to sound hyperbolic, but this game from Salah Mejri is perhaps the most unexpected occurrence of a role-player (or sub-role-player) taking over the game and completely dominating it. Viewer discretion is definitely advised for this highlight video because Mejri did some things that are too sick for any but the most depraved…
Read MoreDwyane Wade 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
I still don’t quite believe that Dwyane Wade will be retiring at the end of the season. Given that this loss to the Raptors removes the Heat from playoff contention, Wade just has two more games left before he rides off into the sunset. That’s sad and all that, but I just have one question…
Read MoreDanny Green 21 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Danny “Trade Throw-In” Green is having the best season of his career in terms of scoring efficiency. It’s also the third-best season of his career in terms of raw PPG per game. His defense is probably still good as well, although it’s hard for me to make that determination given the amount of fricks I…
Read MorePascal Siakam 23 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
When Pascal Siakam wins the MIP Improved Player award, which everybody seems to think he’s a lock for, he’d better reward me in some way for tirelessly making highlight videos for him, even after it became clear that he was too good a player to appear on my channel. Whoever the voters are for the…
Read MoreNorman Powell 23 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Norman Powell is playing well enough this season that I feel comfortable announcing my new nickname for him. This nickname has positive connotations, which means that it can only be applied to Powell when Powell is having a positive impact on the court. This is in contrast to my many nicknames for players that are…
Read MoreFrank Kaminsky 24 Points Full Highlights (4/7/2019)
Frank Kaminsky hasn’t gotten a lot of accolades or awards in his NBA career up to this point, which is fair because he hasn’t had an especially good career up to this point. However, that trend might be changing for him as he has just received a very prestigious and esteemed award for his performance…
Read MoreJaKarr Sampson Career High 29 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2019)
I love April in the NBA. When a certain amount of teams stop caring about winning, that means that the lineups they put aren’t necessarily the lineups that are most likely to win games. But they ARE the most likely lineups to feature scrubs who need to increase their videographic representation on the DownToBuck highlights…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 24 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/6/2019)
As I mentioned in the Jared Dudley highlight video that was uploaded just before this one, I attended this Bucks/Nets game live. Overall, I would characterize my game-day experience as “good but flawed”, and when I say “flawed”, I don’t mean the outcome of the game was flawed. The Nets won and Caris LeVert kicked…
