Markelle Fultz looked down at his hands. They were bloody. That was to be expected after one had committed acts which Markelle had just committed. He wiped his hands on his pants, leaving bloody streaks which would have plainly implicated him in the deed, were anybody around to do the implication. Slipping out of the…

Luka Doncic All 156 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
Luka Doncic drove down a wide street in a Dallas suburb that he had never even heard of, much less visited. On either side of the road were a multitude of restaurant choices representing every cuisine known to man (or at least the ones that were a part of the average American’s culinary lexicon). It…
Read MoreMarquese Chriss All 99 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Marquese Chriss could hear seagulls squawking and waves crashing. That was the first sign that something was wrong. The second sign was that he could feel himself lying on sand. Apparently, he was on a beach. He was not, in general, opposed to beaches, but his bedroom was not a beach, and his bedroom was…
Read MoreDavis Bertans All 200 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
The sounds of a sawblade grinding against metal filled the improvised workshop. Soaring sparks cast a red glow in the windowless room which was otherwise lit only by a flickering bulb swinging from the ceiling. A very tall man impatient wiped sweat away from his brow as he bent in concentration over his latest electro-mechanical…
Read MoreTrae Young All 205 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation Part II)
This is part two of my tell-all oral history which goes into the gritty, unsavory details of the NBA’s most polarizing hairstyle. To support this kind of hard-hitting journalistic excellence, consider a donation to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/downtobuck — RAY YOUNG: When Trae was a junior in high school, I caught a glimpse of his scalp…
Read MoreTrae Young All 205 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation Part I)
The subject of Trae Young’s hair has always captured the imaginations of the public. However, rumors and hearsay often obscure the truth. The astonishing facts of Young’s hairstyle have only ever been known in tantalizing fragments…until today. After spending months interviewing those closest to the rising star for the Atlanta Hawks, the hard-hitting NBA journalist…

https://youtu.be/wmn5ZutjFTo There is a very real possibility that when all is said and done, when the fat lady has sung (am I still allowed to use that turn of phrase in 2021????? please don’t cancel me), Reggie Jackson will have been the starting point guard on a championship team. I can hear the wails and…
Read MoreMatt Thomas All 35 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation)
Matt Thomas looked at his phone with scorn. He had, out of habit, opened his mobile banking app, and now the screen was showing him a checking account balance that was healthy but hadn’t increased at all over the past month. He knew that he should be grateful for the financial security that being an…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Month (March 2020 Dunkilation)
It’s pretty obvious that we’re not going to get any more regular-season basketball this season. That sucks. Luckily, there was enough basketball played in the month of March to be able to put together a dunkilation which isn’t totally pathetic. Sure, I included some dunks here that would have normally gotten cut, but are you…
Read MoreNikola Jokic All 15 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
Nikola Jokic checked his phone for perhaps the twentieth time that day, and was again disappointed that there were no new voicemails for him. Despite the expensive device not having left his side for even one second during the past two weeks, he was paranoid that he had somehow missed an incoming call, a call…
