By joining the Wizards, Ish Smith is now playing for his eleventh franchise. He needs to add just one more team to his collection before he’ll share the record for most teams played with in an NBA career, a record he would share with NBA luminaries Chucky Brown, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg, and Joe Smith….

Rui Hachimura 16 Points Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
I could’ve guessed that this was going to happen. “This” being the fact that Rui Hachimura had a very solid 12 points in the first half but finished with only 16. Normally I allow myself to get overhyped in such situations, when a role-player has an unexpectedly stuffed first-half statsheet. It happened again this time,…
Read MoreDavis Bertans 23 Points/0 Missed Field Goals Full Highlights (10/26/2019)
I feel sort of weird classifying this as a “REVENGE GAME” for Davis Bertans, considering the Spurs didn’t really want to get rid of him in the first place. But Marcus Morris promised he would sign, and they had to make space, and Bertans was the casualty. The fact that Morris reneged on his promise…
Read MoreThomas Bryant 21 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
Thomas “Thobe” Bryant’s individual successes early this season make me feel good inside. From a second-round draftee getting no minutes his rookie season to a certified starter who can stretch the floor, Bryant’s rapid rise up the ranks has been fun to watch. And you know what makes it even better? It was the Lakers…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 19 Points Full Highlights (10/25/2019)
The first thing that haters will notice about this game is that Rui Hachimura needed 20 shots to get his 19 points. They will look at the boxscore, point accusatorily at the offending row, and exclaim “HAH! Look at what an inefficient chucker Hachimura is! I knew he would be a bust, and I was…
Read MoreMoritz Wagner 13 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
Attention Lakers fans: you are NOT allowed to watch this video. Go watch some vids of Anthony Davis or LeBron James or Alex Caruso or whatever “superstar” your team signed recently. As much as I don’t want to, I’m begrudgingly allowing you to watch vids of players that are on your team. But this vid…
Read MoreRui Hachimura 14 Points Wizards Debut Full Highlights (10/23/2019)
DownToBuck has only had limited experience with Japanese fans on his channel. Basically, my singular experience with them comes from the time I uploaded highlights of Yuta Watanabe scoring ten points. I know that interest in the NBA (and the sport as a whole) is growing in Japan, but I haven’t seen much of that…
Read MoreJabari Parker All 87 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)
Jabari Parker woke up from the nightmare with his heart racing. His cat, Kempy, who had been sleeping on his feet, noticed that her owner was awake and walked up towards his head, wanting attention. Jabari scritched the cat’s ears while the vivid scenes of the dream replayed in his mind. Going up for a…
Read MoreKelly Oubre All 70 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)
Staring in frustration at the empty pad of paper in front of him, Kelly Oubre wondered why he had completely failed to brainstorm any ideas for his struggling web series, Wave Papi’s Man-Overs. The first few episodes had been modest successes, but only because of his own status as a professional athlete. His reach into…
Read MoreDevin Robinson 14 Points/3 Dunks Full Highlights (4/9/2019)
Cross another one off the list. I’ve been waiting for a legit Devin Robinson performance for a long time, but even with the ‘Zards having a ton of him games to appear in (164 by my count) over the last two years, he’s barely played. He played all of one game last season, the season…
