The decision to make this video or not was a true test of my commitment to highlightical integrity, and I have to say, I have failed…
Zion Williamson only made five shots in this game. He was 5-of-19 from the field. Is that the worst shooting performance that I’ve ever turned into a highlight video and uploaded to my channel? Probably. The large amount of free throws, shot with impressive accuracy for Zion (10-of-14) doesn’t change the fundamental fact that this video is extremely lean on buckets. It’s a little-known fact that the “B” in DTB stands for “buckets”, so to forsake the bucket-driven focus of my channel is almost blasphemous. DownToBlaspheme, they should call me.
I regularly disregard players who don’t shoot well enough from the field in a particular game, but, in the end, the allure of view counts (and thus, potential patrons on my Patreon) was too great. Also, that stolen rebound from Giannis was pretty impressive and drags up the subpar quality of this video by quite a bit. Not many players can bitchify Giannis like Zion did there. Still, one impressive rebound shouldn’t be enough to negate the fact that Zion was out there bricking the whole game.
It will take years to wash the grime of shame off my skin, if it ever comes off at all. Maybe this is my curse…to be forever marked as a fraud…a lowest-common-denominator highlights-peddler who will upload whatever video the seething, tumultuous masses want fed into their eyeballs…please grant me your forgiveness, however undeserved.
