Patty Mills sat behind the wheel of his rented SUV, parked inconspicuously in the parking lot of a strip mall in Lubbock, Texas. Astros cap on his head and sunglasses obscuring his eyes, he read the local paper with amusement. “BED BATH & BEYOND BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN!” Beneath this urgent, front-page headline was a picture…

C.J. McCollum Career High 19 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Be honest. How many of you get CJ McCollum and Ray McCallum confused? Because before I made these highlights they were basically the same player in my mind. Don’t lie. DownToBuck knows when you are lying. Unless you are a Blazers or Kings fan it’s unlikely that you’ve seen either play at all. I watch…
Read MoreShabazz Muhammad Career High 12 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2014)
Anthony Bennett sucking at a historic level has deflected a lot of criticism from a bunch of under-performing rookies. Take Shabazz Muhammad. He hasn’t done anything this year; as the 14th pick, you would expect at least a little something. But I haven’t heard a peep regarding the Wolves wasting their pick. This is surprising….
Read MoreAnthony Davis 26 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
I’ve watched a lot of Anthony Davis free throws throughout the course of my highlight making. So as you consider what I say, know that I am the voice of experience. There is no funnier camera angle/NBA player combination than that baseline shot of Anthony Davis as he gets ready to shoot his throws. His…
Read MoreChris Kaman 17 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Did you know that Chris Kaman was misdiagnosed with ADHD at the age of two? The medication he was given damaged his basketball career all through high school. It just goes to show that not every behavioral problem needs to be attributed to a brain disorder. But a much more grievous misdiagnosis occurred later in…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Amar’e Stoudemire still has it! If you watch this video you will see it all: dunks, jumpers, and a layup. The component parts of Stoudemire’s game which served him so well in Phoenix. The dunks may not be as high-flying or as powerful, but the jumpers look pretty much the same. If you mess with…
Read MoreSerge Ibaka 26 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (2/7/2013)
Serge Ibaka has a lot of nicknames, but all of them are really stupid. Any person who utters the phrase “Serge Iblocka” is pretty much announcing to the world “I have no creativity or passion for life.” But it’s going to be okay, friends, because I have a new nickname for Ibaka that will knock…
Read MoreDion Waiters 24 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
If you want to understand why Dion Waiters isn’t a good player, this would be a good video to watch. He is just so confident in his jumper that he will take it no matter what the situation is, with no effort to get a better shot for himself or his teammates. This game it…
Read MoreJared Sullinger Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Jared Sullinger and DeMarcus Cousins found themselves matched up on the battlefield, and fought to an even draw: 31 points and 16 rebounds for each. I don’t even know how to search basketball-reference for other times that has happened. Maybe if I had direct SQL query access. Anyway, yeah, Jared is looking like a legit…
Read MoreSteve Nash 19 Points/5 Assists/1 40th Birthday Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
The two men sat across the table from one another. The older was wearing a long white gown, matching his long white hair and beard. He observed a pocket watch held in his hand. The younger was donning a modern outfit of purple and orange, adorned with numerals. The younger spoke. “I would like to…
