Vintage – DownToBuck

Rodney Rogers 28 Points Full Highlights (2/27/2000)

Everyone has seen the video of T-Mac scoring 13 points in 35 seconds to pull the Rockets back from certain defeat. It’s like a top-5 component of YouTube-NBA lore. Even that annoying dude in your circle of acquaintances who wears that corny “sportsball” t-shirt and talks about how pro sports are a waste of time…

Predrag Drobnjak 16 Points Full Highlights (2/23/2003)

Basically my only hope for this vid getting any views at all is if it gets posted on montenegrosports.ba or basketcroatia.rs or some other weird-ass former Yugoslav republic sports news website. It will probably come up first for searches like “Predrag Drobnjak” and “Peja Drobnjak”, true. Realistically, though, how many people on this earth are…

Tim Hardaway 30 Points/19 Assists Full Highlights (2/17/1995)

19 assists! Holy cow! Sounds like a lot of dimes, right? That’s because it IS a lot. A lot for 2016, a lot for 1995, a lot for any era of NBA basketball. 19 is a nice sounding total, an impressive number that is almost 20. But how impressive is this performance, really? Let’s find…

Mark Davis Career High 27 Points Full Highlights (4/1/1997)

Sometimes I joke about a particular player being so obscure that nobody has ever heard of them. Such comments, when I happen to make them, are always in jest. For every modern player, there is a significant amount of people who remember them from a stint on a favorite college or pro team. Most historical…

Craig Ehlo 27 Points Full Highlights (3/21/1990)

There are certain NBA players who are remembered mostly (or exclusively) for the less-than-great things that happened to them on the court. Tyronn Lue got stepped over by Allen Iverson. Kent Benson broke his jaw by slamming it into Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s fist. Gerald Green got his head wedged between the rim and the backboard…

Glenn Robinson 40 Points Full Highlights (4/11/1997)

Ah, the offseason. The offseason… so tranquil. What more could an over-worked highlight maker want than months of repose? Ah, yes. The perfect antidote for a weary man. So peaceful. So relaxing. So… GOD-DAMN LONG. JESUS. What am I supposed to be doing right now? Sitting on my ass and watching my view-counts asymptotically increase?…

Dirk Nowitzki 43 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (1/27/2004)

A real gem here. Quality highlights of this guy are hard to find, and for good reason. Dirk Nowitzki managed to stick in the league just for a few years, only starting around 10 of the games where he didn’t get a DNP, which was often. Despite the predraft hype surrounding him, he was just…

Kevin Gamble Career High 37 Points Full Highlights (12/20/1995)

I want to apologize to all my loyal fans. Looking at my last few vintage highlights, you might notice a disturbing trend among the players represented. No, they’re not all white. Worse. They are all All-Stars! Some of them are even Hall-Of-Famers! I am so sorry. The point of this channel is to showcase the…

Ralph Sampson 24 Points/22 Rebounds Full Highlights (6/1/1986)

Tonight in the latest episode of “What If with DownToBuck”, we analyze one of the most enigmatic talents of the last 50 years, Ralph Sampson. Tonight’s What If: What if Ralph Sampson had not developed the chronic knee problems that derailed his career? First off, it’s not exactly a surprise that Sampson had exploding knees….

Chris Mullin 32 Points Full Highlights (11/24/1992)

Who knew it was so hard to write descriptions about players you never saw play? With current players, it’s super easy. I hardly know the first thing about Chris Mullin. He was a part of Run-TMC, which people still care about even though it was a short-lived experiment that saw limited success. Was he on…
