https://youtu.be/Qtnw2YDWVq4 Undrafted rookie Jae’Sean Tate made a name for himself early in his basketball career, not by performing particularly well or for having an insane vertical leap, but for throwing a basketball at a notable teammate of his who had moobs and a beard and really, really wanted to be traded really bad. Getting into…

Jakob Poeltl 19 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/sr8Y836Q2Sk OFFICIAL DTB STATISTICAL FINDING OF THE DAY: Jakob Poeltl, who has averaged 17 MPG per game over the course of his career, is sixth in his draft class in TOTAL win shares. Not win shares per 48, but raw absolute win shares. He’s tied with Jamal Murray on the list, and he’s ahead of…
Read MoreKenrich Williams 19 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/2TvwTYWhBec Let it be known that DownToBuck actually watched some of this contest between the Thunder and the Rockets, and let it also be known that DownToBuck was surprised and, honestly, dismayed, to find that Kenrich Williams was actually doing a few productive things on the court during that span of time. This is dismaying…
Read MoreTyrese Haliburton 21 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/TBead9rLBkQ I think this video represents the first upload that the Sacramento Kings have gotten on my channel this season. That seems like an oversight until you remember that Nemanja Bjelica is getting DNP’s. If we’re being honest about the situation (and you know that DownToBuck is all about honesty), Richaun Holmes had a couple…
Read MoreBryn Forbes 20 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/SM1FBE2vq_g The Bucks made a lot of moves during the offseason. Some of them major, like trading a whole bunch of everything for Jrue Holiday, some of them minor, like signing Mamadi Diakite to a two-way deal, and some of them middling, like giving Bryn Forbes a two-year, 5-million dollar deal. If you disagree with…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 24 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2021)
https://youtu.be/Y8hHivh8Aco I was initially surprised by the factoid which I about to present to you, but as I thought about it more deeply, I realized that there was no reason for it to be so surprising. And that factoid is this: Rui Hachimura is the third-leading scorer on the Wizards right now. If your first…
Read MoreMax Strus Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/Qdf7J8Hl5N0 I was saying Max Strus’ last name wrong this entire time and that fact is greatly upsetting to me. Who knew it was “stroose”? I was saying “struss”. And when I say “saying”, I mean “thinking”, because I don’t have any occasion to say his name (none of my IRL acquaintances share my passion…

https://youtu.be/KVa7bcscj0U “Dear Diary, My life has becoming a waking nightmare. Every time my situation deteriorates further, I hope against hope that soon I will wake up from this torment, to find it nought but a dream, but alas, there is no such respite. This is a nightmare from which escape is impossible. Every minute of…
Read MoreNassir Little Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/gmVfSM-GKsY Nassir Little was sitting on a stone bench, strangely not feeling any sense of panic even though the situation definitely called for it. Many minutes prior, he had awoken in this strange place that seemed to go on forever. It was like a grand hall with no beginning and no end. The golden sunlight…
Read MoreKeldon Johnson 25 Points Full Highlights (2/1/2021)
https://youtu.be/WorFSMbSoMY My feeling is that I’ve already made too many Keldon Johnson highlight videos this season. Spurs fans will probably be quick to tell me that I have NOT made too many Keldon Johnson highlight videos this season, and that, in fact, I have not made ENOUGH Keldon Johnson highlight videos this season, but Spurs…
