I silently sneak past the guard station at the entrance to the NBA’s video archive. Inside the small structure the guard himself is a sleep, his helmet pulled over his eyes and his assault rifle dangling by its strap on the back of his chair. By doing deep packet sniffing on their unencrypted wireless communications,…

Taj Gibson 23 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
I’m fully aware that Taj “Taj Maball” Gibson had five assists in the game just as you’re fully aware that I probably am not going to show them in this highlight video. One thing I’ve learned in the course of making thousands of highlight videos is that big man assists are the worst assists out…
Read MoreSam Dekker 17 Points/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
DownToBuck as a rule does not divulge too much personal information about himself. The main two things that have been established are that I am white and I am from Wisconsin. Imagine my delight when I discovered that I would be able to make a highlight video featuring someone similarly pigmented and with a like…
Read MoreNorman Powell 16 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
I’m so happy that Norman Powell got the start tonight for the Raptors. It’s great! My brain is producing so many happy chemicals. God. Absolutely ecstatic right now. Really really great. I can’t imagine being happier. Only one problem. There’s this guy on the Raptors, they drafted him a few years ago, and they’ve been…
Read MoreDennis Schröder 17 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
Another game, another puzzling Atlanta Hawks loss. Bob Rathbun and Dominique Wilkins don’t seem to be taking it very well. Rathbun has already freaked himself out by thinking about the Chapecoense plane crash too much (mentioning something about how easily it could happen to them in his commentary for last game), and Wilkins is always…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
We all suspected it at the time, but now our thoughts are confirmed: Nemanja Bjelica’s 24 point outburst a few weeks ago was nothing more than a mirage, a random aligning of the planets to produce a far above average scoring output. It wasn’t an indicator of Nemanja turning a corner, or getting more confident,…
Read MoreKyle O’Quinn 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
Kyle “Irish Black Santa” O’Quinn, once upon a time, drew the ire of the Knicks fanbase for not being nearly as good as they had hoped when they signed him. Like, they weren’t happy at all. He was touted as being a stretch-four type after a semi-successful final year in Orlando, then came in and…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 17 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
The prevailing narrative around Brandon Ingram said that he was a raw rookie who would not be able to contribute meaningfully right away. And, if you ask Lakers fans, they would echo those sentiments. They would claim that his current production is what they expected, maybe even that he is surpassing their expectations. I have…
Read MoreJoel Embiid 25 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
What do you think Joel Embiid is thinking about in the thumbnail? He looks quizzical, almost bewildered. Context: he had just canned a three that ended an 8-minute scoring drought for the 76ers. Seeing as I am an expert in sports psychology, I think I have a few ideas: -Shirley Temples -How he is holding…
Read MoreAaron Gordon 20 Points Full Highlights (12/2/2016)
What’s going on with Aaron Gordon? Is active neglect at the hands of Scott Skiles better or worse than the ill-suited role Vogel is awkwardly jamming him into? Is he taking too many jumpers? I bet he’s taking too many jumpers because Frank Vogel wants him to be Paul George. Just take a gander at…
