Over the following weeks, Marc Gasol developed a routine. When the guard would enter the dungeon, bearing Marc’s daily, meager meal, Marc would position himself to be leaned against the cell wall closest to the mysterious inscription which was present on a stone near the floor. When the food was pushed through the bars of…
Read MoreLauri Markkanen 22 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2019)
You could tell, watching this game, that Stacey King was starting to lose it. When things are going bad for the Bulls, he gets antsy and starts saying weird things. Case in point: with the Bulls down by double-digits to the Hawks (who are not a good team), he suggested, multiple times, that Lauri Markkanen…
Read MoreJahlil Okafor 17 Points/6 Blocks Full Highlights (1/23/2019)
If I went back in time and told the past version of DTB who was alive in 2016 that, in the year 2019, I would not only be making a Jahlil Okafor 17-point highlight video, but I would be excited about it, the past version of me would laugh in my face. Straight up laughter….
Read MoreAllonzo Trier Career High 31 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2019)
Allonzo Trier lurked in the shadows of the poorly-lit parking garage. Dressed in an all-black outfit, including a black ski mask, he was practically invisible. Already, several people had walked by him without noticing his presence. Any minute, the Rockets’ team bus would come pulling up and the players would come piling off. Then, and…
Read MoreJohn Collins Career High 35 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2019)
I’ve seen a lot of names bandied about for the “final” Eastern Conference All-Star spot. Apparently there’s enough consensus All-Stars this year to fill up the whole roster except for one spot. And who should that spot go to? I think I saw Zach Lowe say it should be Eric Bledsoe, which, while it’s great…

The great thing about highlight videos on YouTube is that it means you don’t have to slog through depressing games played by the team your favorite player is on to enjoy said favorite player. Like, imagine you’re in a country, I don’t know what that country is, maybe it’s more like a region, whatever, but…
Read MoreFred VanVleet 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2019)
Fred “Vleetwood Mac” VanVleet isn’t as good as last year, in terms of on-off numbers, but at least he’s still in the positives. Last year, the Raptors were good based on the strength of their bench, with VanVleet and Pascal Siakam leading the way. This year, they’re good because they have Danny Green and Kyle…
Read MoreJusuf Nurkic 22 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2019)
Fan voting for the NBA All-Star game has ended. You have no more chances to try and get your second-favorite Bosnian sportsperson (after Edin Dzeko) into the NBA’s premiere showcase of talent. If you want, I can show you the secret backdoor I made into the NBA’s voting systems (I’m still casting thousands of votes…
Read MoreJerryd Bayless 14 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/22/2019)
I’m certain I didn’t realize it at the time, but back when I was watching Jerryd “Baysed God” Bayless on the Bucks back in the 2015-16 season, I was actually watching PRIME Jerry Bayless. The Bayless experience was never better before or since, unless you count that time he was Summer League MVP (I don’t…
Read MoreDragan Bender 13 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2019)
I hate the feeling of optimism entering my body. It feels like aliens probing my mind, that’s how uncomfortable and foreign the concept of optimism is to me. I thrive on pessimism and darkness. Positive thoughts to me are like candles in the wind: briefly aflame, then snuffed out quickly before providing any but the…
