Alexey Shved – DownToBuck

Alexey Shved Career High 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/20/2015)

The Knicks. Hoo boy, the Knicks. I don’t think even one thing has gone right for them this season, unless you count “actually having their own draft pick this year”. They lack nearly entirely players who are willing to score the rock; it seems most everyone is content to not ever shoot. Enter Alexey “The…

Alexey Shved 19 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2015)

What a fortunate year for Shvedophiles! Alexey started off the year with the 76ers, one of the few times bad enough for him to find a significant role. He even had some good games amidst the tanking sadness! Then, he gets traded to the Rockets! A perfect opportunity to witness from the bench how a…

Alexey Shved 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2015)

Alexey excitedly punched the familiar number into his phone and waited with a big smile as it rang. After much ringing, it was answered. “Hi Shabazz! This is Alexey!” he greeted to his best friend Shabazz Muhammad. “Oh hey man what’s up, you actually kinda got me at a bad time, I really can’t talk…

Alexey Shved 19 Points Full Highlights (12/1/2014)

The full force of how bad that 76ers are is hitting me squarely in the noggin. My head is spinning, my limbs feel tingly and I’m sweating like a maniac. I’d better hurry this up, I can barely type… Look at the list of players Alexey assisted tonight: Jakarr Sampson Jerami Grant Hollis Thompson Brandon…

Alexey Shved 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/29/2014)

Alexey Shved sat happily in his downtown Philadelphia apartment. He had eschewed the normal trappings of an NBA player; his residence looked like it was dwelt in by a lonely Russian with an alcohol problem and no money. Only the first part was true, as evidenced by the extremely expensive bottle of vodka he was…

Alexey Shved 15 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/21/2014)

You know your team’s season has gone down the tubes when your commentators talk about an inferior sport in the middle of game action. During last night’s blowout loss, Mark Zumoff and Malik Rose actually discussed FOOTBALL (not the European kind) during the game. Not during timeouts or breaks. During the actual game. Not just…

Alexey Shved 14 Points Full Highlights (11/9/2014)

I’m sorry. So, so sorry. These aren’t full highlights. Not even close. A layup and subsequent free throw are missing, through no fault of my own. A forgivable offense, right? “Oh DownToBuck, it’s okay, NBATV missed almost a whole 30 seconds of action, not your fault!”. And that may be true. But despite the problems…

Alexey Shved 18 Points/5 Assists 76ers Debut Full Highlights (10/29/2014)

Alexey Shved was not a great player last year for the Timberwolves. And when I say “not great” I mean “quite awful, as if he had been navigating the seedy drug underworld of Yakutsk during timeouts”. Despite not building on the semi-successes of his rookie year, there was some optimism for him coming into this…

Alexey Shved 11 Points/1 Huge Dunk Full Highlights (2/10/2014)

Alexey, despondent during a blowout not in the Timberwolves favor, walked back onto the court with sadness. Suddenly, his teammate Ricky Rubio approached him with some words of advice. “Change this face, be happy, enjoy!” Ricky urged, patting him on the shoulder. After glaring at him for a second, Alexey couldn’t help but smile at…

Alexey Shved 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2013)

I’m going to get crucified for saying this, but our Russian friend Alexey “Shveddy Balls” Shved has been, aside from a few games, pretty awful this year. He’s shot below 40% from the field in well over half his games, and while he’s a good passer and plays the game smartly, he really shouldn’t be…
