Zach LaVine groggily sat up in his bed, and, as he did every morning, he reached for his phone to check his various social media platforms for new messages. As always, there were too many to deal with all at that moment, but one name caught his eye: Nikola Vucevic. They had only exchanged messages…

Zach LaVine All 69 Dunks Full Highlights (2018-19 Season Dunkilation)
Zach LaVine looked over at his ringing phone with disinterest. He was in the middle of a very productive session of Euro Truck Simulator 2 (one of the few video games he wasn’t terrible at) and didn’t want any interruptions while he made his deliveries. If the call was something important from somebody important, they…

Zach LaVine stared at the ceiling of his room in the hospital, his boredom so acute that he almost wished that he could have another surgery just so the anesthesia would knock him out for a few hours. There was simply nothing to do here. The TV above his bed only served to remind him…

Does anyone else remember that pre-draft workout video where Zach LaVine was practicing his stepback jumpers, and they were all totally blatant travels? Just wondering, because these were the most ridiculous travels ever, like, did no coach ever pull him aside and say “what are you doing out there you’re walking all over the place!”?…
Read MoreZach LaVine 31 Points Full Highlights (11/1/2016)
Zach LaVine is rapidly approaching the “too good for DownToBuck’s Scrublights Archivium” threshold. He put up decent stats last year, but there were still arguments to be made that beneath the flashy exterior of dunks and threes there was a player who wasn’t actually all that good. Maybe those arguments still exist. Inefficient, not a…

My fingers fly across the keyboard, executing a wide array of well-timed keyboard shortcuts with my left hand while my right expertly manipulates the mouse, furiously clicking and dragging, shaping and composing. The process is almost automatic, yet evident in my quick actions is a kind of hidden artistry that could never be replicated by…
Read MoreZach LaVine 21 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2016)
To be honest with you guys, Zach LaVine scoring 21 doesn’t even feel like a special occurrence anymore. It’s an indication of how much he’s improved this year; when he scored 21 last year, I was on it faster than ducks on a Junebug. WAY faster than those damn ducks. His highlights were the highest…

I’m sitting here rewatching these highlights, and I’m wondering: is there any legitimate reason why Zach LaVine can’t be like a Stephen Curry? Not the full version, obviously, but like 3/4ths of a Stephen Curry without the passing. He’s got the handle (kinda) and the range (kinda). That’s all you need. I’m not even being…
Read MoreZach LaVine 23 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2016)
Good news, Timberwolves fans! Your young and talented big three all had good games in a winning effort! Zach LaVine dunking, Andrew Wiggins scoring, and Karl-Anthony Towns playing point-center. The future is looking bright indeed. But how much brighter would it look if you traded Ricky Rubio for MCW and Greivis Vasquez? A whole heck…
Read MoreZach LaVine 28 Points Full Highlights (3/14/2016)
This current Timberwolves team is looking a lot like that Thunder team that came up short in the finals: two really good players (Towns and Wiggins or Durant and Westbrook) holding down another really good player (LaVine or Harden). You know what I’m thinking? Trade LaVine to the Nuggets for Gary Harris and some gently…
