A season of dunks-of-the-month videos culminates right now with the ultimate videographic display of dunking prowess: DTB’s Best 100 Dunks of the 2018-19 Season. One hundred sick slams curated by, perhaps, the one highlight maker who is not swayed by stardom or view counts. You know the NBA’s version of this video would be 90%…

Mitchell Robinson All 128 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)
The reception area in front of James Dolan’s office consisted of a few small chairs that were not nearly large enough to accommodate the size of the man sitting in them. For the tenth time in the past ten minutes, Mitchell Robinson nervously checked his phone for nothing in particular, but this attempt at providing…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Playoffs (2018-2019 Playoff Dunkilation)
This year’s playoff dunkilation can be described in one word: “underwhelming”. I think this is mostly LeBron’s fault, because LeBron was always good for five or ten sick dunks during the playoffs. I also blame the last dunkilation I did, which was combined for March and April. That one was so sick that this one…
Read MorePascal Siakam 26 Points/1 Championship Full Highlights (6/13/2019)
My game six viewing experience was interesting to say the least. Most of the time I’m a solitary basketball watcher. I don’t go to bars or restaurants to watch the games because those places are loud and the TV’s are usually too far away. The few times I’ve been in one against my will while…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 22 Points/1 Championship Full Highlights (6/13/2019)
I don’t know if there’s ever been a player who, in the course of one playoff run, went from team scapegoat and complete negative to team hero and fanbase darling. Through the first two series, and the first three games of the third, VanVleet was playing like an absolute turnip. Every time Nick Nurse subbed…
Read MoreAndre Iguodala 22 Points Full Highlights (6/13/2019)
DownToBuck has always been a proponent of giving credit where credit is due, except in cases where I want to take the credit for myself or assign it to some scrub role player who didn’t actually do anything. But in this case, I’m giving lot of the credit is going to Andre “Retirement Home” Iguodala,…

There are many talking points that I could bring up in this description. Among them: -Kevin Durant’s Achilles injury -Raptors fans’ response to Kevin Durant’s Achilles injury -Serge Ibaka’s role in the play where Kevin Durant injured his Achilles -The Warriors now having an outside chance to win this series -The fact that Warriors fans…

Read MoreTrae Young All 156 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Threeilation)
When the demonic, high-pitched laughter began to emanate from the walls, Trae Young’s heart sank. This had been happening for months now, but it never got any easier. Each visit from the hair gremlins was a uniquely terrifying experience. There was no point in running, either to another room or out of his apartment entirely….
Read MorePascal Siakam 19 Points Full Highlights (6/7/2019)
I’m upset with Pascal Siakam right now because he’s forcing me to occupy my own time (which is a precious commodity that I cannot acquire more of) making marginal-quality highlight videos for him. When he’s scoring in the mid-twenties and above, I don’t mind the task, because the end result is a compelling highlight video…
