JaVale McGee stepped out of the taxi and, after collecting his luggage from the trunk, gave the driver a sizable tip. In one of the carriers, a trio of restless penguins stared out at the unfamiliar surroundings with distrust, then back to JaVale, as if demanding an answer to their silent question, “where are we?”….

Lonnie Walker All 116 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
Lonnie Walker IV is, as far as I can tell, the player on the Spurs who is most beloved by Spurs fans. While every other player on the team ranges from completely reviled (Bryn Forbes) to begrudgingly tolerated (LaMarcus Aldridge) to fondly accepted (Dejounte Murray), none of them enjoy the universal fan support that Walker…
Read MoreShai Gilgeous-Alexander All 66 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
This video was supposed to contain more than 66 midrange jumpers. While 66 is a fine total for a young up-and-coming scorer like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, it’s not enough for me, a self-professed midrange fetishist who is powerless to control his perverse urges for midrange jimbos. A quick peek at SGA’s shot chart this season shows…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson All 183 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Mitchell Robinson hesitantly approached the unmarked, but sturdy looking, door. He knew that behind that door waited the owner of the New York Knicks. Every previous trip he had made to this office had ended very strangely, and he had no reason to believe that this occasion would be any different. He had half a…
Read MoreDzanan Musa All 50 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
If there’s one thing that you should know about DownToBuck, it’s that he loves pandering to the citizens of the Balkan states. If it was once part of Yugoslavia, you can bet your bottom dollar (or your bottom dinar/kuna/mark/lek/euro) that I’m going to make videos of the players from that country no matter how good…
Read MoreBoban Marjanovic All 96 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
King Marjanovic sat at the high throne of his kingdom and relished the feeling of power that was always present in him, even when he wasn’t actively exercising that power by sentencing disobedient subjects to death in the dungeons or raising an army to wage war on one of the lesser states nearby. In the…
Read MoreDoug McDermott All 118 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
“We are gathered here today to honor and remember the life of one of the NBA’s greatest sharpshooters…” The assembled group of mourners stood solemnly as the minister paid a final tribute to the man who was, at that very moment, lying in a casket that was waiting to be lowered into a six-foot-deep hole…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram All 124 Midrange Jumpers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Jumperilation)
Brandon Ingram felt a draft of air rush across his body. This unexpected sensation roused him to a half-awake state. A few seconds passed before he realized that there was no reason he should be feeling a breeze; the windows of his brand-new apartment were perfectly sealed against the elements, and he never opened them….
Read MoreChris Clemons All 51 Field Goals Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Bucketilation)
Everybody knows that size matters in the NBA. Short guys are often overlooked because their scoring almost never makes up for the extreme size disadvantage that makes effective defense an impossibility. You know this is a real issue for short guys because I myself am 5’9″ (roughly) and my defense is awful. The blame falls…
Read MoreMontrezl Harrell All 134 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Montrezl Harrell got out of his car and walked up the long walkway to the front door of the mansion. He had been invited to this house before, but it never ceased to impress him with its size and grandeur. It was the kind of place that would have pet tigers roaming the lawn. He…
