So, over the off-season, there was kind of a big change in DTB-land. No, I didn’t get married or have kids or experience any other kind of major life event. And I’m not being ironic here by framing something trivial like they opened a new KFC near me or they discontinued my favorite flavor of…

For years, DTB fans (and even DTB himself) have struggled with the question: who is too good to appear on the channel? Who is on “the list”? Now, for the first time ever, “the list” has been codified and the doubt can be eliminated. With the NBA regular season fast approaching: I present to you:…

Or: “From the Abyss of Scrubs there is No Escape” The part you’ve been waiting for. The part I’ve been waiting for. The end of the journey. Part 4. This part features the absolute lowest bottom-dwellers of the NBA, the ones for whom each made shot is a discrete event in their memory. These are…

Or: “Scrubbiness Intensifies” I don’t mean to imply that the players depicted in part three of this four-part epic journey through the catacombs of the NBA are “scrubs”. A few of them are, but what I meant was that the players in this part are definitely on a lower tier than the players in part…

Or: “A Dreadful Hodgepodge of Mediocre Role-Players” Part two of my series chronicling every NBA player’s first basket is a slightly dispiriting affair: it starts with role-players who already kinda suck, and it doesn’t really get better. Not much worse, either. You knew this was coming after E’Twaun Moore appeared in the first half of…

“Hey Devin, we got a big problem here,” Josh Jackson said into his phone, trying not to panic. Devin Booker, answering the call on the other end, paused for a second before replying. “Okay, first, I don’t know where ‘here’ is, second, what the heck even are you talking about?” Josh felt like he was…
Read MoreBam Adebayo All 91 Dunks Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Dunkilation)
Impatiently, Bam Adebayo checked on the status of his new YouTube channel for the sixth time that day. However, just as the fourth and fifth times he had checked, he had just two subscribers. Why? Why did nobody want to watch his hilarious pranking videos? Why hadn’t he gone viral yet? He was so far…

“Thanks for inviting me over, man,” Dennis Smith Jr. said as he walked into the impressive entryway of Dirk Nowitzki’s suburban-Dallas home. “I like your place.
