Tyler Herro 17 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

OFFICIAL REASONS TO MAKE THIS VIDEO POWER RANKINGS 1. Tyler Herro was sort of clutch by scoring three straight buckets with four minutes left in the game 2. I had gone an entire week without making a Tyler Herro highlight video, which is way too long a period of time to go without a Tyler…

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 13 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

This highlight video of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk hitting four three-pointers compares favorably to a classic DownToBuck highlight video which only true DTB acolytes will remember: Chris Johnson 12 Points/4 Threes Full Highlights (1/28/2014). You don’t get to watch it because my whole entire old channel got deleted (god damn it), but I still have access to…

Trey Lyles 17 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

One of the biggest surprises of the last few years was Trey Lyles somehow managing to turn himself into a decent scorer for the Nuggets. His peak lasted a few weeks from December of 2017 to January of 2018, after which he kind of went back to being the same old Lyles as before, but…

Jaren Jackson 22 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

If Jaren Jackson doesn’t watch out, he’s going to be looking in a mirror in a few years and not recognize the pure three-point specialist staring back at him. Shooting threes is fun, I get that. Personally, I’d prefer dunking it, but if I had been dunking for as long as Jackson has, I’d get…

De’Andre Hunter 23 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

De’Andre Hunter is a pretty good player already. This game in particular I was getting serious Kevin Durant vibes from him. But what if you took Hunter and combined him, through some kind of illegal (or at least unethical) scientific experiment, with the similarly-last-named Kevin Huerter? You would end up with a superplayer named De’Andre…

Kevin Huerter 19 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

Kevin “Butthuert” Huerter just had his best game of the season, scoring 19 points, but it doesn’t even seem like that much because a.) his scoring was all spread out over the course of the game, which diluted its emotional impact (even the commentators didn’t seem to realize that Huerter was having anything other than…

R.J. Barrett 18 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

Sources within the Barrett family have furnished me with a full copy of R.J. Barrett’s christmas wish list, which I am now posting here with no edits or commentary: -An authentic NBA Rookie of the Year trophy -A real Snuggie (not the weird off-brands that you get from Chinese sellers on Amazon) -Get Bobby Portis…

Damyean Dotson 19 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

As if Knicks fans don’t have it bad enough, it turns out that the shoulder surgery that Damyean Dotson had over the off-season has completely destroyed his jumper. After he developed into a decent role-player in his second season, I’m sure Knicks fans had hopes that Dotson’s development would continue into his third year, but…

Tomas Satoransky 20 Points Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

“Sato, why do you look so down?” Tomas Satoransky realized that he had paused halfway through taking off his shoe, being too lost in thought to continue his postgame routine. Did his facial expression really make his sadness that obvious? “Oh, just homesick I guess,” he said, putting a smile on his face even though…

Fred VanVleet 21 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/23/2019)

I thought that when Kyle Lowry came back, Fred VanVleet wasn’t supposed to play forty minutes per game anymore. But Nick Nurse has such a bone-on for this dude that he can’t bear to not start him, so FVV starts at the shooting guard position while Lowry starts at point guard. If Nurse doesn’t watch…
