Rodions Kurucs was one of the more fun stories of last season. Everyone loves a random second-round Euro coming in and defying expectations by doing anything at all. He came in and right away started playing quality minutes (at least until he got injured or whatever, I don’t remember very clearly anymore) and eventually earned…

Rodions Kurucs 16 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
I am making a decent amount of money through my new Patreon page ( https://www.patreon.com/downtobuck – donating even one dollar a month will fill my cold heart with an emotion that roughly resembles happiness), but it’s still not enough to fund my lavish lifestyle of Hot Pockets, PopTarts, and extremely high-end computer equipment to facilitate…

Rodions Kurucs hasn’t been doing a whole lot on the court for the last month or so. I don’t know if it’s because players returned from injury or what, but I do know that I don’t like it one bit. I need Kurucs to play well for two reasons: one, there’s a surprising amount of…

It is tough being at the forefront of the NBA nickname movement, but you know what they say about DTB…he doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. Unless the “spotlight” is him going outside and interacting with other people like a normal human being. Then he shies away from it a lot. Anyway, the challenge of…

With around 9 minutes remaining in the game, Rodions Kurucs hit a shot to put the Nets up by 27 (!!!) against the Celtics. As I always say while watching the Bucks choke huge margins, “that’s why you get big leads”. You get big leads so you can go the whole rest of the game…

Rodions Kurucs is in the enviable position of being good enough to start while also being scrubby enough to play the final minutes of blowouts. How many players in the NBA can you say that about? With this being the case, it seems like he should get a highlight video every night. He gets to…

I must say, that is a really good stinky face by Rodions Kurucs. I’ve seen the master at work (Giannis, if you couldn’t figure it out), but the stinky face depicted in the thumbnail is right up there with the best of them. Just another reason to love this rookie from Latvia, add “indirect taunting…

It is well known that Knicks fans, in their galling hubris, booed Kristaps Porzingis when he got drafted. Or, if they weren’t booing, they were crying. Did Nets fans do similarly for Rodions Kurucs when he got drafted? I would guess not, because he was the 40th pick, not the 4th, and because the Nets…

The list of youngest foreign-born players to start for the Nets reads like a list of players I most want to make highlights for: -Rodions Kurucs, 20 years 312 days old (our hero!) -Yi Jianlian, 21 years 2 days old (there’s no way he didn’t lie about his age but whatevs) -Sergey Karasev, 21 years,…

Since I’m kind of in a euphoric daze right now from having eaten chicken wings last night (that’s what chicken wings do to me), I decided to go to Rodions Kurucs’ Twitter page to see if there was any content I could gank from there. Like, if he got a beef with Kristaps or posted…
