Ben Simmons 21 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2018)

“Dear Mr. Simmons, Consider this letter to be official notification of your continued eligibility to appear on my YouTube channel.

Willie Cauley-Stein 17 Points/7 Dunks Full Highlights (12/26/2017)

“Dear Santa, I know it’s the day after Christmas and that you want to be done giving out presents until next year, but I thought I would write this letter anyway. Santa, I don’t know if you forgot my address or what but I totally didn’t get any presents from you this year. If I…

Joffrey Lauvergne 14 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2017)

I hear the rapping of knuckles on my door. Not expecting visitors and fairly certain that I hadn’t ordered any pizza deliveries lately, I walk to the door and open it in confusion. Outside it there is nobody waiting for me, and my confusion is heightened until I look down and see an envelop waiting…

James Ennis 15 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (1/30/2015)

Dear ESPN, If James Ennis dunks the basketball, you need to show replays of the occurrence. I had high hopes after you showed multiple replays of his putback layup, but those hopes were smashed under the relentlessly marching boots of incompetent video work. If you do not show these replays, how am I supposed to…

Goran Dragic 24 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2014)

Hello Goran Dragic, DownToBuck is a man of brevity, so I’m going to get straight to the point: please curtail your attempts to produce facial hair. It just looks straight up bad, sorry homie, gotta call it like I see it. I know having luxurious beards and funky mustaches is the new hip thing for…

Lance Stephenson 17 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/23/2014)

“Dear LeBron, I hope that this letter finds you in good spirits. I know both of our new teams are struggling at the moment, but what’s life without a little adversity? I know you don’t consider me a friend, and I certainly feel the same way, so you may wonder why this letter arrived in…

Amar’e Stoudemire 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/11/2014)

Amar’e Stoudemire, alone in his dingy one-bedroom apartment, sat down at his rickety desk. Even this small amount of movement caused him to wince in pain and clutch his back. The sand in his life’s hourglass was quickly running down to nothing, and there was important business to attend to. “Dear Steve,” he wrote. “I…
