I was hoping that this performance would end up being the rare and desired “Double Career High” where a player sets a career high in both points and assists in the same game. Note that rebounds do not count for the “Double Career High” achievement. Rebounds are worthless. Anyone can acquire any amount of rebounds…

Luke Kennard Career High 30 Points Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
While the Pistons were getting BTFO the frick out by the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs last season, I came up with some ideas for how the Pistons could do to me more competitive. I intended for those ideas to be used in that particular playoff series, but there’s no reason for…

We should have seen this coming. We should have known that Zion Williamson’s knees would disintegrate before his first regular-season game. We should have begun preparations to have R.J. Barrett be the NBA’s most hyped rookie several weeks, if not months, ago. Now we’re playing catch-up. Narratives need to be rewritten. Merchandise needs to be…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 24 Points Heat Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
This one should come as no surprise. In fact, the surprising part about this 24-point NBA debut by Kendrick Nunn is that he didn’t score MORE points. If you were in a state of willful obliviosity during the preseason (I don’t blame you; there’s a reason I don’t do preseason highlights), let me give you…
Read MoreP.J. Washington 27 Points/7 Threes Hornets Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
Listen to how happy the Hornets commentators are. Just listen to them. Hearing that broadcast, one would have no way of knowing that the Hornets are the most booty-licious (the bad kind of booty, not the good kind of booty) team in the league, with no hope, no future, just a bunch of crying Jordan…
Read MoreDanny Green 28 Points/7 Threes Lakers Debut Full Highlights (10/22/2019)
In his first game donning the iconic purple and gold (or purple and school-bus yellow since Nike took over jersey duties), Danny Green exceeds all expectations by dropping 28 points and splashing seven triples (well, six; one wasn’t a splash). 28 points isn’t a lot when you’re comparing to the scoring luminaries he shares the…
Read MoreFred VanVleet Career High 34 Points/7 Assists/1 Injury/1 Return Full Highlights (10/22/2019)
After having to reject two stunningly beautiful women in the span of two weeks, I was starting to feel like something was amiss. To have one very attractive woman show interest in me, sure, I could pass that off as a fluke. But two in such a short period of time? That’s going beyond fluke…
Read MoreNicolo Melli 14 Points Pelicans Debut Full Highlights (10/22/2019)
The past few weeks have been very eventful for your pal DownToBuck. The good news is, I’m back and I’m making highlight videos. The bad news is, well, it’s not really bad news, but there’s a lot of crazy stuff that has led up to this point. So I’m going to start at the beginning….

Or: “DownToBuck’s Favorite Part” You thought the players in part III were scrubs? They’re like goddamn All-Stars in comparison to the barely-in-the-league scrubnuggets that comprise this video from start to finish (with a few notable exceptions). I will admit some of these players are new to me, and if you can honestly say that all…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2018-19 Season Full-ilation Part III)
Or: “[Scrubbiness Intensifies]” Part III of this series features a lot of players who casual fans have never heard of, or have only ever heard of in an ironic context. Many of the players here were only inconsistently part of their team’s regular rotation. However, true DTB acolytes will recognize all these players because almost…
