Michael Porter Jr. strode into the locker room with an aura of earned confidence to find a gathering of jubilant teammates. After graciously accepting their whooping applause and numerous slaps on the back, things quieted down. The assembled Nuggets players seemed to be waiting for their rookie to make some sort of acknowledgement. “You guys…

Frank Ntilikina 9 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
Another glimmering flash of potential before another string of games of bland mediocrity. Yawn. Wake me up when Frank Ntilikina puts together a serious run of nice performances and then I’ll get excited. For now, I’ll leave it to the Knicks fans among us to get excited. I won’t even blame them; their team just…
Read MoreMitchell Robinson Career High 22 Points/0 Missed Field Goals Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
Mitchell Robinson went a perfect 11-of-11 tonight, which, according to my calculations, is the best shooting performance, considering percentage and volume, of the decade. Note: as of the time of this writing, the current decade is approximately .02 percent complete, so it is likely that by the end of it, Robinson will not have the…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 18 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
There was a time where I clowned Avery Bradley for his overreliance on midrange jumpers. That time was before I started this channel, I think, because I can’t find any evidence of me dissing him for shooting too many of those things in my comprehensive description archive. That’s good. I wouldn’t want my old opinions…
Read MoreKelly Oubre 26 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
Okay, so apparently the new thing that Kelly Oubre does is blow kisses to everyone and everything after he makes a bucket. That’s cool. Going for the Gorgeous George shtick, acting vaguely effeminate while antagonizing the crowd. People already almost seem to care more about the personalities than the actual game, and if that’s going…
Read MoreJaylen Nowell 12 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
The Timberwolves are really getting some use out of their end-of-bench players, much to my (and your, presumably) delight. First it was Kelan Martin, then Jordan McLaughlin, then Naz Reid, and now, Jaylen Nowell. I’ve gotten to make a vid for all of them now, and I’ve had a smile on my face the entire…
Read MoreShabazz Napier 22 Points Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
The Timberwolves used a balanced scoring attack consisting entirely of role-players and scrubs, with the only real outlier being Shabazz Napier with 22 (the points being the outlier, not the role-player status), to narrowly lose to the Bucks by 2. Sometimes I don’t really like having to make vids for other teams while the Bucks…
Read MoreD.J. Augustin 25 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
I know Magic fans got used to 2019 D.J. Augustin, and I don’t think they were really happy with what they were getting from him, but this is no longer 2019 D.J. Augustin. This is 2020 D.J. Augustin! He’s way better, he still doesn’t play any defense but he can basically average 25 and 10…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz 16 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/1/2020)
New Year’s Eve is usually a quiet time for DownToBuck. Since I have a responsibility to my subscribers to provide high-quality and timely NBA highlight videos, I will usually turn down MULTIPLE invitations to fun NYE events in order to spend time alone in front of my computer. This year I got slightly more festive…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (December 2019 Dunkilation)
Full disclosure: I had to delete two minutes’ worth of dunks from this video in order to get under the mystical 9:45 threshhold that makes the difference between my video staying up and my video getting removed for copyright infringement. Having to purge such a large amount of primo dunk footage has made me very…
