This is what Jason Smith does. He makes midrange jumpers. Probably not the best skill to be elite at, but it’s better than my elite skill (heating Hot Pockets). His unexciting skill set combined with what has to be a top-10 most common name means that these highlights will go unwatched by everyone but this…
Read MoreKentavious Caldwell-Pope 20 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a really good game to end the season last year, something like 30 points. That was not a good time to have his best game of the season; Pistons fans had the whole offseason to think about how good he was and his current woes can be chalked up to a slump….
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 18 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)
Kelly Olynyk knocked on the door of his parent’s house. It looked much the same as it did when he left, five years ago. The paint was a little chippier perhaps, the trees in the front yard a little less vibrant. The welcome mat, in all its threadbare glory, had, as ever, the opposite of…
Read MoreAndrew Wiggins 17 Points Full Highlights (11/5/2014)
Now this is what I’m talking about! I’m tired of all these rookies taking balls and enveloping their lips around them, I want 15-point performances and reasonable shooting percentages. I want aging veterans shaking their heads in disbelief as a new generation of superstars romp through the league! I want them to take the “neo”…
Read MoreAustin Rivers 12 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Austin Rivers is probably the best current NBA player named after a fluvial landform. DownToBuck looks back on some of the other greats who shared this characteristic: Larry Lagoon: Playing for the Rochester Royals in the mid-50’s, Lagoon was known as a flashy dribbler, developing a type of proto-crossover known as the “Very Larry” which…
Read MoreTobias Harris 21 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This video is 111 seconds long, with 60 frames per second (I swear). That means 6600 pictures are contained in this video, plus 1 for the thumbnail. If this description were to accurately describe the contents of this highlight package, I would have to write roughly…
Read MoreJabari Parker 10 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Someone obviously told Jabari that he only had one total assist coming into last night’s game. Not his fault, he’s a designated scorer on a team that needs it. Hard to pass when you can get a decent shot any time you want. Anyway, it was obvious because Jabari had an easy layup on a…
Read MoreGiannis Antetokounmpo 11 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Turn on your mental machinery, ever rusted by the passing of time, and cast your mind all the way back to Giannis’ first preseason game with the Bucks. Or you could just watch the highlights to remind yourself. Either way, you will see a fadeaway stepback jumper in the manner of one Dirk Nowitzki being…
Read MoreKevin Seraphin 15 Points Full Highlights (11/4/2015)
Bonjour mes amis. Je sais que vous les Français ne peuvent pas obtenir assez de vidéos de Kevin Séraphin, si je fait celui-ci pour vous. Je vous souhaite, et je me souviens de manger beaucoup de fromage qui pue! -Votre Vrai frère dans cette vie et la prochaine, Down To Buck
Read MoreGerald Green 26 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (11/4/2014)
Gerald Green, dressed as a banana, walked into the costume party with dread. It was well-known that Miles Plumlee threw the best holiday-themed bashes, but the prospect of scores of hot girls walking around in “naughty nurse” costumes didn’t do much to brighten his mood. He hated Halloween. Why should the concept of hiding your…
