https://youtu.be/Hb4Hu9pcyA0 Nemanja Bjelica was just pulling on his winter coat, getting ready to leave the arena after a game which had been a personal success for him but a letdown for his team, when his phone rang. He looked at the screen to see who it was and immediately recognized the name. Shrugging off his…

Cory Joseph 22 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/15/2021)
https://youtu.be/FA-S6Bs4zuA Was anyone else slightly aghast when Cory Joseph signed a three-year, 36-million-dollar contract with the Kings at the start of last season? I was for sure. I might have even surpassed being “slightly aghast” to be “moderately aghast”. Obviously, I’m happy that Cory Joseph got the bag, because the bag is something that every…
Read MoreHassan Whiteside 26 Points/5 Blocks Full Highlights (2/15/2021)
https://youtu.be/LdayXEdtAts I’m not sure where it all went so wrong for Hassan Whiteside that he was forced to sign a MINIMUM contract with the KINGS (basically the last place any free agent should ever want to go) when he’s basically in his prime. Sure, he has flaws. Everybody knows about his flaws and they are…
Read MoreTyrese Haliburton 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/6/2021)
https://youtu.be/TbCUgH5lnRk You know, I’m just not sure about the pink sneakers that Tyrese Haliburton wore during this game. I’m admittedly the least-qualified person in the universe when it comes to discussing footwear, and I’m sure that the shoes themselves are perfectly comfortable and suited for basketball, but I can’t keep my feelings on this bottled…
Read MoreTyrese Haliburton 21 Points Full Highlights (2/3/2021)
https://youtu.be/TBead9rLBkQ I think this video represents the first upload that the Sacramento Kings have gotten on my channel this season. That seems like an oversight until you remember that Nemanja Bjelica is getting DNP’s. If we’re being honest about the situation (and you know that DownToBuck is all about honesty), Richaun Holmes had a couple…
Read MoreMarvin Bagley 26 Points Full Highlights (1/17/2021)
https://youtu.be/roiu-DwjS_w I’m looking at Marvin Bagley’s statisticals right now, and you know what I’m seeing? The same thing that everyone should be seeing: a 20 and 10 guy. The “20 and 10 guy” archetype is one of the most sought-after in the league, right behind “3 and D guy” but ahead of “ridiculous wingspan and…
Read MoreJabari Parker 19 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
I’d take Jabari Parker, RIGHT NOW, on the Bucks. The Kings season is over, right? Everyone’s saying they’re done, so I’m going to believe them. That means that Parker’s services aren’t being used by anyone right now, just rotting away, going to waste. Why shouldn’t the Bucks pick him up? Your answer to that question…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
Nemanja Bjelica’s career-high in assists before this game? Eight, set earlier this season. Nemanja Bjelica’s career-high in assists after this game? Thirteen, set just now. A quick bit of fancy mathematics has revealed to me a startling yet unavoidable truth: this performance by Bjelica is roughly equivalent to Wilt Chamberlain scoring 160 points. Now tell…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 27 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (8/13/2020)
The end of another Kings season… does anyone else feel like they’re about to cry? Even if, by and large, the whole season kinda sucked, it’s still the end. That’s it. Over. Finito. Go home everyone. No more Kings basketball. Not for another… however long the offseason is going to be. As we speak, the…
Read MoreDaQuan Jeffries 13 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (8/9/2020)
The video I uploaded right before this one depicted Austin Rivers scoring a career high 41 points. As I type this, that video is gaining views at an astronomical rate. The sweet nectar of success has splashed upon my lips, and yet… THIS video is what DownToBuck is really about. Scrubs on bad teams scoring…
