This is it. This right here. Forget about all the other crappy vids I’ve made for this night of games, this is the one that you should watch. This is the essence of DownToBuck. The point is to highlight the un-highlighted, to honor scrubdom. Marcus Derrickson isn’t a good NBA player (but probably a great…
Read MoreJordan Bell 13 Points/4 Jumpers Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
The Bulls received a lot of criticism for trading the second-round pick that became Jordan Bell for straight-up cash. Remember when the Nets (of New Jersey) traded Kyle Korver for a copy machine? This is like that, except with the 3.5 million that the Bulls got, they could buy many, many thousands of copy machines….
Read MoreRoyce O’Neale 17 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
Royce “John Salmons 2.0” O’Neale had two games of this caliber in the playoffs last year. All the way back in early May, if you can remember back that far. He was even the leading scorer for the Jazz in one of them (the Jazz did not win that game against the Rockets). Those were…
Read MoreTrevor Ariza 20 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
I hold no particular animus towards Trevor Ariza for breaking out of his three-game, 0-for-15 from three shooting slump against the Bucks. If I had actually been watching this game, maybe things would be different, but I wasn’t. And even I was, in the end, the fault lies with the Bucks for leaving him wide…
Read MoreT.J. McConnell 16 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
It must be kind of cruddy to be the best midrange shooter in a league where the majority of fans think midrange shots are stupid and dumb and inefficient. Here’s the deal, stats nerds who haven’t even seen, much less touched, an unclothed female heinie: those shots are only inefficient if it’s not T.J. McConnell…
Read MoreEmmanuel Mudiay 21 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
Whose idea was it to put this Knicks versus Pacers game on ESPN? I know, I know, you don’t want to show the same few teams over and over again, not every game should be Warriors versus Rockets, you want to show the entire league even if they’re not that good or exciting. But this…
Read MoreDewayne Dedmon 19 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
If Dewayne “Judge Dedd” Dedmon had gotten a triple-double this game, it would have ranked as one of the unlikelist triple-doubles of the season. Actually, scratch that. It would have been the undisputed least-likely triple-double of the season, ahead of Kyle Anderson’s by a significant amount because Dedmon isn’t known as a passer. As it…
Read MoreDomantas Sabonis 22 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
I was all ready to go with a theme for this video description: how Domantas Sabonis completely dominated Enes Kanter because Kanter can’t handle somebody with the size and skill near the basket that Sabonis possesses. That narrative went out the window when it became apparent to me while compiling this video that Kanter didn’t…
Read MoreJosh Okogie 15 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
I remember making some determination as to whether Josh Okogie can be called “Okobie” or if Eli Okobo can be called “Okobe” or if both of them can use that nickname, or if neither of them can use that nickname. However, I am too unmotivated to actually go back and check DTB’S OFFICIAL NICKNAME RECORDS…
Read MoreJohn Collins 25 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2019)
We can now add “makes game-winners regularly” to the list of reasons why John Collins should definitely be an All-Star this season. The full list of reasons can be found below: -Makes game-winners regularly (or “clutch late-game shots”, which are different from game-winners; however, for the purposes of this list, they are the same thing)…
