https://youtu.be/9_J_PccYkEI When I semi-retired from the daily NBA highlights grind, I was looking forward to a gleaming and gilded future free from the players that had tormented me in the past. I would create only the videos that I wanted to create, unburdened from the ceaseless uploadment of repetitive and barely-consumed vids of players that…

James Wiseman 19 Points Warriors Debut Full Highlights (12/22/2020)
https://youtu.be/VQcqRrqBz-I What better way to kick off the new era of DownToBuck (the era where I’m semi-retired and only make videos when I feel like it) than with an opening-night outburst from a highly-touted rookie getting his first real taste of NBA action? I can only think of a few better ways to usher in…
Read MoreRetirement Announcement (…sort of)
https://youtu.be/RaecEPbhwwo When I started DownToBuck, the goal was simple: to make the highlight videos that nobody else was making. To shine a spotlight on the role-players and scrubs who play important roles on every roster. To show the world that these lesser-known players can be just as entertaining and dynamic as the high-paid stars whose…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2019-20 Season Full-ilation Part IV)
https://youtu.be/I-6zTvpvEp0 Part four. Year after year, this part is consistently my favorite out of all the parts. In five years you’ll be able to go back and watch this video and only be able to remember ten of the players. That is the true beauty of Part IV. Enjoy. — 0:08 My third-grade math tells…

https://youtu.be/g5XW6KJWb5E Part three of my NBA full-ilation and we’re still okay…kinda. The players shown in this part aren’t good, but they’re not terrible either. Many of them are the types of players that will get significant minutes for only small stretches of the season, to step in for teammates’ injuries or simply because the coaches…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2019-20 Season Full-ilation Part II)
https://youtu.be/fexptvAGt6A Part two of my NBA full-ilation is already chock-full of players who weren’t even considered to be average role-players by their respective fanbases. Can you believe there’s an entire TWO VIDEOS full of players who are worse than these guys? If you’re not feeling a tingling sensation in your “special zone”, you need to…
Read MoreEvery NBA Player’s First Field Goal This Season (2019-20 Season Full-ilation Part I)
https://youtu.be/WvP3f2WsEPU The 2020-21 NBA season bears down upon us with unexpected swiftness. The Finals finished nary a month ago, and here we are getting ready to start up again in just a few weeks? Where has the time gone? Does time mean anything anymore, or is it simply another one of mankind’s feeble mental constructions,…
Read MoreDTB’s Top 100 Dunks of the 2019-20 NBA Season (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
https://youtu.be/l3pvW0qY3oc One of the high points of every NBA season is the release of my “Top 100 Dunks” video. It’s the closest I ever get to making a video that broadly appeals to humanity at large (rather than the small subset of humanity that is enthusiastic about NBA role-players scoring pitiful amounts of points). Is…
Read MoreDTB’s Best NBA Dunks of the Bubble (2019-20 Bubble Dunkilation)
https://youtu.be/lrSqR118SHQ The NBA Bubble (or, as I unsuccessfully attempted to dub it, “The Bubb”) was a true success no matter how you look at it. A champion was determined in a mutually agreed-upon fashion, and nobody caught COVID while doing it. Now the NBA’s Disney campus lies empty, its only occupants being the ghosts of…

In the months that followed my hiring as “janitorial shift manager” at the NBA headquarters, I laid low and did my assigned work without complaint. During all those lonely evenings, where I supervised a crew of four janitors but also selflessly undertook any cleaning projects that were exceptionally distasteful or onerous, I engaged in discreet…
