Brad Wanamaker 15 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

As of right now, Brad Wanamaker is having the second-best free-throw shooting season of any currently active player, sitting at 93 percent, behind only Stephen Curry’s 93.4 percent back in the 2010-11 season. It goes without saying that he’s best free throw shooter this season, a full percentage and a half ahead of scrubs like…

Ish Smith 18 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Interestingly, every single Ish Smith assist in this video (all ten of them) was previously represented in either the Rui Hachimura, Thomas Bryant, or Troy Brown Jr. highlight videos I uploaded tonight. Meaning that if you watched all three of those videos, you’ve already seen much of this video (you DID watch all those videos,…

Alec Burks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Remember when Alec Burks was on the Warriors as their de facto #1 scoring option? That seems like so long ago. Like it happened in a different reality, almost. Things were so innocent back then. If you had combined the words “NBA” and “bubble” in a sentence, people would have thought you were talking about…

Luguentz Dort 16 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

I’ve had four (actually more like five) months of very limited basketball activity to contemplate the very important question: which NBA player has the raddest name? The answer is still Luguentz Dort, in case you were wondering. I came to that conclusion after about two minutes of thinking and the subsequent five additional months of…

Dillon Brooks 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

This is not really a notable highlight video. Dillon Brooks goes out there and hits some swaggy shots (ten of them to be exact) and then the video ends. That’s it. Just another middling DownToBuck highlight video to throw into the pile of unwatched and forgotten videos. But if you listen deeper, there is something…

Tyler Johnson 14 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Tyler Johnson has not been very good lately. That’s about as charitable a sentence as I can come up with to describe his quality both in the bubble and in the games preceding the bubble when he was still on the Suns. The Nets only acquired him because they needed bodies to fill out their…

Troy Brown Jr. 20 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

I’m salty right now because this video was made under FALSE PRETENSES. I thought that Troy Brown Jr. had five assists in this game, and in fact the box-score still says at this moment that he has five assists, but he really only had four. The first TBJ assist depicted in this video is clearly…

Thomas Bryant 22 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Is Thomas Bryant unironically the Bubble MVP right now? Peep these statlines: 10 points, 7 rebounds 30 points, 13 rebounds 20 points, 11 rebounds 19 points, 10 rebounds 22 points, 8 rebounds In those games, he is 10/25 (40%) from three and 42/79 (53%) from the field. He also may have played defense on one…

Rui Hachimura 23 Points Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

I’m not an anime watcher, but my impression is that most animes take place in high schools or high-school-like atmospheres. I also seem to remember that there’s an anime which features a basketball team featuring members who have various superhuman abilities (probably also in a high school setting). While I might not be an expert…

Tony Bradley 15 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (8/7/2020)

Here’s a list of fanbases that I would somehow like to antagonize in this video description: -Los Angeles Lakers fans -Houston Rockets fans -Boston Celtics fans The problem is, I can’t figure out how to antagonize any of those groups while still maintaining a connection to Tony Bradley somehow. This is, after all, a Tony…
