De’Andre Hunter Career High 34 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2021)
https://youtu.be/M7XqenULlyA I still haven’t quite figured out what the cut-off points for various players are under my new highlight-making protocol, which is basically “I make highlights when I feel like it and if I don’t feel like it then I just do something else instead.” De’Andre Hunter is a perfect example. He’s a young player…
Read MoreJohn Collins All 116 Dunks Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Dunkilation)
John Collins chewed thoughtfully as he relaxed at his locker. They had just lost a game to the Heat, but at least they were in the middle of a homestand, so he could go back home and sleep in his own bed rather than get crammed into a plane with a bunch of teammates who…

This is part two of my tell-all oral history which goes into the gritty, unsavory details of the NBA’s most polarizing hairstyle. To support this kind of hard-hitting journalistic excellence, consider a donation to my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/downtobuck — RAY YOUNG: When Trae was a junior in high school, I caught a glimpse of his scalp…
Read MoreTrae Young All 205 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2019-20 Season Three-ilation Part I)
The subject of Trae Young’s hair has always captured the imaginations of the public. However, rumors and hearsay often obscure the truth.

Remember how Paul George was really butthurt that one time when he didn’t get to take the last shot in some important playoff game? “I gotta get the last shot” he said. His butt was so inflamed from pain that no amount of extra-strong opiates could soothe it. His hatred for C.J. Miles was palpable…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 14 Points/11 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
First off: Kevin Huerter actually only had 10 assists, not 11. He was credited with one where he passed the ball to De’Andre Hunter on a fast break who then quickly dropped it off to John Collins for a score. It was kind of a tight sequence, so I can see how the scorekeepers would…

While perusing NBA box-scores at my desk, my diligent study is interrupted by an urgent knock at my door. I get up with an urgency that matches that of the one who is knocking, for I know exactly who is waiting on my doorstep: A GrubHub delivery driver bearing my latest culinary indulgence of assorted…
Read MoreKevin Huerter 19 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
I am looking at the Hawks roster right now, and I am seeing all the young talent that they have, and I am freaking out right now. Someone needs to give me some reasons right now as to why they won’t be competing for a championship in 3 years, otherwise I’m going to go ahead…
Read MoreDe’Andre Hunter 22 Points Full Highlights (2/29/2020)
While I was browsing through De’Andre Hunter’s basketball-reference profile, searching desperately for any scrap of statistical insight that I could puff out into a full-length video description, my eye happened to fall on his minutes per game this season: 31.2. Since he played 38 minutes tonight, maybe his average will go up to around 32…
