DownToBuck is a man. A man who admits his mistakes. After Kemba’s first year in the league, I thought he was going to suck forever. An unconscionable chucker whose career percentage from the field would never eclipse 40%. Allen Iverson 0.5. I was mistaken. Kemba Walker is pretty bad, but he has shown the ability…

Josh McRoberts 17 Points Full Highlights (4/12/2013)
Josh “Don’t call me McBobs because I don’t really like that nickname” McRoberts is one of the league’s more anonymous players. I don’t know that much about him. He’s a pretty good dunker. Has a jumpshot. White. Looks like he’s gonna cry all the time. A pretty good player, maybe. If you watch these highlights,…
Read MoreBen Gordon 27 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2013)
Remember when Ben Gordon won the NCAA championship with Connecticut? I don’t, because I hate college basketball, but I bet a lot of you do. Seems like just yesterday, doesn’t it? Here’s something that will cause cerebral matter to seep from your cranial cavity: That championship was almost a whole decade ago. And now he’s…
Read MoreMichael Kidd-Gilchrist 21 Points Full Highlights (3/30/2013)
If Michael Kidd-Gilchrist wants to be an impact player in this league, he has to fix his totally borked jumper. That’s just the plain truth. You’re not frickin’ Shawn Marion man, just shoot the ball normally like everyone else. That hitch is disgusting. And that little jump on his free throws? UGH. I utilized my…
Read MoreJannero Pargo 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/16/2013)
Jannero Pargo has bounced around the league so much that it’s impossible to keep track of him. It doesn’t help that his brother, Jeremy, has a similar tendency to play for half the teams in the league. It’s nuts. So now he plays for the Bobcats. That might come as a surprise to many people….
Read MoreJeffery Taylor Career High 18 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (2/23/2013)
Does anybody remember Jermaine Taylor? He was a 6’4” guard, played for the Rockets for a while and last played for the Kings in 2011. Don’t lie to me! You have no idea who I’m talking about, and for good reason: he was a scrub. But I’m sure your remember 6’11” Jeff Foster, who was…
Read MoreBJ Mullens 25 Points/18 Rebounds Full Highlights (2/11/2013)
Did Thunder GM Sam Presti make a big mistake letting Byron Mullens go for basically nothing? Would this sweet-shooting center take the Thunder to the promised land and beyond? Probably not. He’s kind of an inefficient chucker, and there is no room for more shots on the Thunder. He’s best suited on a team like…
Read MoreKemba Walker Career High 35 Points (6 Threes) Full Highlights (1/21/2013)
Remember when Kemba Walker had a historically bad rookie season in terms of shooting? Yeah. That was a blast. Except for Bobcats fans. But everyone else loved it. But now he is, get this, an actually good player! I didn’t really expect this. I mean, yeah, he’s still a total chucker, but now he shoots…
Read MoreHakim Warrick 16 Points Full Highlights (1/14/2013)
Hakim Warrick’s claim to fame is that he once teabagged another basketball player in college. No, it was not part of some bizarre hazing ritual. Warrick actually rubbed his private parts all over Royal Ivey while jamming on him. Since that glorious moment, which most commentators agree is the most vicious dunk-teabagging of all time,…
Read MoreBen Gordon 29 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (12/3/2012)
Okay, so maybe Ben Gordon thrives in the “sixth man scorer off the bench” role. That makes sense given that he’s averaging 15 PPG without a single start. But it doesn’t explain why he was so bad in Detroit. Perhaps Rip Hamilton gobbled up too many minutes? In any case, Gordon does everything in his…
