Marquese Chriss sat alone in his lightly-furnished Phoenix apartment. A small desk-sized Christmas tree was the only outward sign that the holiday was being celebrated there. That, and the large amount of Christmas cookies that were currently in his kitchen. The last batch of cookies was presently baking in his oven; they would be finished…

Dragan Bender 10 Points Full Highlights (12/28/2016)
This game from Dragan Bender is what is called “progress”. You might not be familiar with that concept since you have yet to make any of it towards any of your personal goals, so you’re going to have to trust me on this one. Even if you do understand the abstract concept of “progress”, you…
Read MoreDragan Bender 11 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2016)
The “11 Points” in the title of this video doesn’t do justice to the kind of performance Dragan Bender had tonight. Not even close, but if I put everything he did up there then I think YouTube would get mad at for it being too long. So I’ll put it here instead: 11 points, 13…
Read MoreDevin Booker 28 Points/7 Assists/4 Dunks Full Highlights (12/21/2016)
Right after I started making these highlights, after I saw his first two weak jams, I got to thinking: could Devin Booker poster someone even if he wanted to? I was uncertain. I couldn’t recall any particularly good dunks from Booker’s rookie season, nor could I recall any evidence that he could really jump at…
Read MoreDevin Booker 31 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2016)
The court of public opinion has revised its earlier judgment on Devin Booker. That judgment being “wow this kid is such a studmuffin hes going to be a star look at his shooting form wow”. Their new judgment is “wow what an inefficient chucker look at these advanced stats that show him to be one…

DownToBuck can be somewhat of a hype junkie. I admit it. When I see good performances in progresses I just can’t help myself. I get hyped very quickly with little provocation. Here’s the hype timeline of my experience watching Marquese “Markweezy” Chriss against the Knicks last night: First Quarter: I get hyped when Chriss scores…
Read MoreLeandro Barbosa 18 Points Full Highlights (12/11/2016)
Hey, guess what everybody! I just got off the phone with Steve Nash, and he said he’s totally down to come back to the NBA! I know, I couldn’t believe it either! We were just chatting, and I mentioned that Leandro Barbosa was back on the Suns, and he was like “You know, I could…
Read MoreLeandro Barbosa 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (12/9/2016)
This is now the third separate stint for Leandro Barbosa on the Suns. What is it about that organization that they are so desperately nostalgic for players that were around during their glory years in the mid 00’s? They also went out and got Jared Dudley so they could pretend that everything was the same…
Read MoreDragan Bender 10 Points Full Highlights (12/3/2016)
Eventually, Dragan Bender is going to have to score more than 10 points, or I’m going to have to stop making highlights of him. There. I said it. I hate to put my foot down(toBuck) like this, but I can’t keep devoting primo channel space to a guy who can barely crack double figures. I’ll…
Read MoreJared Dudley 17 Points Full Highlights (11/30/2016)
Longtime readers of my descriptions may remember that, three years ago, I was putting together a pitch for a new television show I was working on called “Jared Dudley’s Cornrows A-No-No.” The premise was simple: as a former owner of ugly-ass cornrows, Jared Dudley would find similarly afflicted people and give them hair makeovers so…
