I have yet to watch an episode of Serge Ibaka’s cooking show. That’s not a brag, I’m just pointing out that the culinary experimentations depicted in his webseries are of lesser interest to me than his frightening ability to hid a midrange jumper anywhere at any time (as long as “anywhere” is somewhere between the…

Fred VanVleet 30 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (8/17/2020)
It’s a widely-known fact that Fred VanVleet ascended into a new level of basketball-playing beastdom when his son, Fred VanVleet Jr., was born into the world. But that was just a temporary boost. The glow of being a new dad doesn’t last forever (I don’t have personal experience with this, but I asked my dad…
Read MoreJoe Ingles 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/17/2020)
OFFICIAL DTB REMINDER: It is codified in the constitution of Australia (a document which is known simply as the “Australian Constitution”; nobody ever accused Australians of having much in the way of creativity) that all Australian citizens must watch at least one (1) NBA highlight video featuring an Australian-born player per day. The penalty for…
Read MoreJonas Valanciunas 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/15/2020)
The Grizzlies’ season is over. As we speak they are packing up their stuff and being forcibly ejected out of the bubble. With no international competition to look forward to this summer, Jonas Valanciunas will probably just work out by himself until the league starts back up (whenever that is). Maybe he’ll come back with…
Read MoreBrandon Clarke 20 Points Full Highlights (8/15/2020)
Unlike Ja Morant, who witnessed his DTB eligibility expire as soon as the buzzer sounded in this game, fellow rookie Brandon Clarke should be good for another couple of seasons, if not his entire career. While he did have an outstanding rookie season for a player drafted later in the first round, he doesn’t really…
Read MoreJa Morant Career High 35 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (8/15/2020)
This career-high performance from Ja Morant cements him as the single player in the NBA who is even in the conversation to win ROTY of the Year. And that’s not even a hot take. Actually, that take I just made is the coldest possible take you can make about the ROTY of the Year race….
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points/21 Rebounds/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/15/2020)
With the Blazers’ season on the line (well, partially on the line, since they needed two lose two straight in order to miss the playoffs), Jusuf Nurkic unleashed his inner Bosnian Beast with a supremely gritty, supremely BOSNIAN display of scoring, rebound, passing, and overall domination. And he did it right after finding out that…

Final DTB video tally for the 2019-20 NBA regular season: 2034 Final DTB worth-watching video tally for the 2019-20 NBA regular season: 1 (this one) Forget about all the other crap I made this season. Just forget about it. Actually, I’ve given you no choice, because I just took all the other vids I made…
Read MoreDevon Hall 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (8/14/2020)
So does the play-in game for the playoffs between the Blazers and Grizzlies count as a regular season game or playoff game? Or neither? Both???? I need to know, because if it’s a regular season game, we’re good. If it’s not a regular season game, I have to get all sentimental about this being the…
Read MoreTerance Mann Career High 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/14/2020)
Terance Mann was shooting around several hours before the game. There were a few NBA staff members milling around, but no players. That was for the best. Terance didn’t want to be disturbed. He did a few dribble moves before pulling into a midrange jumpshot. Swish. Just like the last ten. But he wondered if…
