Trey Burke was such absolute garbage last year that it actually physically hurts me that he’s playing well this year. It’s like there’s a little part of me that exists only to throw shade on Burke, and now that the shade is being withheld, it’s letting me know by introducing stabbing pains in my chest…

Rodney Hood 17 Points Full Highlights (10/31/2015)
Sometimes providence smiles on ol’ DownToBuck. I won’t go in the details of the latest mess I got myself into, but it involved shooting a music video with Rodney Hood and then another kind of shooting happened. I was pretty worried there for a while. I mean, we did kind of bail from the scene…
Read MoreDerrick Favors 26 Points Full Highlights (10/28/2015)
It’s comforting to know that, as much as things change in the NBA, some things will always stay the same. That there are certain immutable facts of the NBA that will never falter in their trueness. Like the Jazz commentators using the word “confidence” whenever Derrick Favors hits a jumper. They were doing it two…
Read MoreDarrell Griffith 40 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (3/9/1985)
Just going to put it out there: these are some hella sick highlights. In my earlier, unenlightened years, I was vaguely aware of some guy named Griffith who was athletic and kind of an okay player. I hadn’t seen any highlights of him, and when I say “vaguely aware”, I mean “probably confused him with…
Read MoreRudy Gobert All 134 Dunks Full Highlights (2014-2015 Season Dunkilation)
Rudy Gobert reclined in the chair on his porch, sipping a small glass of chartreuse. In front of him stretched the expanses of his finely-cultivated Victorian garden. Here and there, a dazzling peacock would appear in a pathway, strutting self-assuredly. Rudy could see a few of his gardeners tending to the flora. Sometimes it was…
Read MoreBryce Cotton Career High 21 Points/2 Dunks Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
Bryce Cotton, Langston Galloway, Meyers Leonard, Arinze Onuaku, Brian Roberts, Vander Blue, Rudy Gobert, Clint Capela, Jordan Adams, Jack Cooley, Hassan Whiteside, Russ Smith, Gary Harris, and Joel Freeland sat in the otherwise empty television studio. “Where is everybody else? I thought everyone who was playing tonight was invited to be in the studio audience…
Read MoreRudy Gobert Career High 20 Points/17 Rebounds Full Highlights (4/13/2015)
You’re 7 foot nothin’, 200 and nothin’, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best professional basketball players in the land for 2 years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of the Utah Jazz. In this life, you don’t have…
Read MoreTrevor Booker Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2015)
Which is the better performance, Trevor Booker’s 36 or Wilt’s 100? Let’s take a look at the facts. Wilt was playing against players so inferior to himself that an apt comparison would be Trevor playing against a middle-school girl’s B team. Advantage: Booker. Trevor played in a packed arena brimming with playoff-like intensity, while Wilt…
Read MoreBryce Cotton 11 Points Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
It’s time for another episode of “DTB’s Honesty Hour”, where DownToBuck sits down with his fans and tells only true things and no lies. Since the Honesty Hour is all about being totally honest about everything, here’s a nugget for you: I don’t know anything about Bryce Cotton, other than the things I learned while…
Read MoreRudy Gobert 14 Points/6 Dunks Full Highlights (4/10/2015)
“Remi, give me a status report on Joffrey Lauvergne,” Rudy Gobert commanded, sitting at his expansive solid-oak desk with a glass of fine Chardonnay resting in his long fingers. The short, pointy-faced Frenchman consulted a folder in his hand. “Of course, sir, of course…let me see, Joffrey Lauvergne…” Remi murmured, paging through a large stack…
