The COVID-19 lockdown resulted in a lot of questionable hair decisions from all members of the general public, but, most noticeably, professional basketball players. Head hair, facial hair, maybe even “hair down there”, no area of the body was safe from dubious hair stylings. The head hair, I can get. Barbershops and salons were closed….

Boban Marjanovic 20 Points Full Highlights (8/10/2020)
Basically every video I make for Boban Marjanovic, I pose the same question: why doesn’t this dude get more minutes? Not even a lot of minutes. Just SOME minutes. Just a consistent role from game to game. That’s not an unreasonable thing to ask for but none of his coaches have been able to provide…
Read MoreRayjon Tucker 17 Points Full Highlights (8/10/2020)
I have this vague notion that Rayjon Tucker (who by the way is getting his first-ever DownToBuck highlight video, CONGRATULATIONS RAYJON!) once played for the Wisconsin Herd, who are the Bucks’ G-League affiliate based in a city you’ve never heard of called Oshkosh. I won’t bother fact-checking myself (because facts are less entertaining than conjectures)…
Read MoreMikal Bridges 18 Points Full Highlights (8/10/2020)
To this point, Mikal Bridges has not been shooting very well in The Bubb. Before this game, he was at just under 40 percent from the field and 22 percent from three. But, as Suns fans will happily tell you, what he does on offense doesn’t really matter because he’s the best defender in the…
Read MoreCameron Johnson 18 Points Full Highlights (8/10/2020)
The low amount of 20-burgers Cameron Johnson has this season (1) continues to vex me. How can this dude, this ROOKIE dude, have only a single 20-burger to his name? Sidenote: if you go to Wendy’s and ask really nicely (and have a bro-ish rapport with the drive thru dude), they’ll make you a “20-burger”,…
Read MoreDarius Bazley 22 Points Full Highlights (8/10/2020)
I’m trying to figure out how to craft a nickname for Darius Bazley that somehow corresponds to the name of Blaze Bayley, you know, that dude who got to be lead singer of Iron Maiden for a few years and no one knows why. I’m thinking, Bazley isn’t really that good, and neither was Bayley,…
Read MoreGarrett Temple 19 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
If you are watching this video, congratulations! You have displayed uncommon commitment to the plight of scrubs across the NBA. Your devotion to the role-player cause is laudable. That said, I really recommend that you watch another video. ANY OTHER video. Don’t want this one. If there is joy to be derived from watching Garrett…
Read MoreTerance Mann 14 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
While editing the thumbnail for this video, it struck me that Terance Mann has a somewhat feminine jawline. That’s not, like, a problem or anything, but it stands out in a league where most of the players have jawbones that jut out more. The mammoth square jaws of the NBA can usually be attributed to…
Read MoreTyler Johnson 21 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
The Tyler Johnson redemption tour continues! Found lying motionless on the slopes of the mountains surrounding Phoenix by Nets officials, they first took the opportunity to shave off his horrible facial hair, then brushed him off, bundled him, still unconscious, onto a plane, and turned him into a reasonable player for their Bubb Squad. It’s…
Read MoreJoe Harris 25 Points Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
Joe Harris has made 171 threes this year. A decent amount of threes, not an incredible amount of threes. What’s really surprising is that he’s made 201 twos. I’m staring, mouth agape and eyes bulging, at the stats in front of me. How is it possible that Harris, three-point contest champion, has made more buckets…
