Speaker 1: Your you're listening to the Hottest, the Hottest. It'd be
Speaker 1: a podcast out here. I said what I said, it's
Speaker 1: the heat check check. Let's move on, Let's get out
Speaker 1: the Hemi Award. He is I, and I am him,
Speaker 1: slim gym with the smoking rim, he's him. I just
Speaker 1: made that up. Guys. The Hemi Award goes to hold up.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the nominees. Could go to j honest,
Speaker 1: fifty four and thirty six minutes, absolutely unstoppable, vintage Gianni's
Speaker 1: performance when no one was out there. No Dame Dame
Speaker 1: has a cash strain. Brooke Middleton is not a real person,
Speaker 1: but they could be Chris Middleton. Chris Middleton was okay,
Speaker 1: I think you had sixteen seventeen points. Brook Lopez was
Speaker 1: on a milk carton. They showed how many flaws they
Speaker 1: have as a squad. But you honest, he was doing
Speaker 1: his very best to beat the Indiana Pacers. And you
Speaker 1: know what, we can't give him the hemy Award because
Speaker 1: they fucking lost. It would have been bad culture at
Speaker 1: its finest to give the Hemi Award to Yannisanta, to Koupo,
Speaker 1: because you cannot be the Milwaukee Bucks as a contender,
Speaker 1: supposedly the number one team in the East, YadA, YadA, YadA,
Speaker 1: and then lose to the Indiana Pacers and allow Ben
Speaker 1: Matherin and Tyreese Halliburton to put fifty on your head combined.
Speaker 1: Hell no, you cannot allow that the Hemi Award could
Speaker 1: go to RJ. Barrett. Though New York Nick really stepping
Speaker 1: up his game three wins in the performances in his
Speaker 1: three last games where he went crazy. Last three games,
Speaker 1: He's had twenty four points, twenty four points, and twenty
Speaker 1: six points all of those games. The Knicks one fifty
Speaker 1: three percent shooting fifty eight percent from three and ninety
Speaker 1: two percent from the free throw line during that span.
Speaker 1: Sixty percent from three, boy is insane, especially considering r J.
Speaker 1: Barrett was known to be an absolute brick machine from three.
Speaker 1: That was something that he needed to clean up even
Speaker 1: when he was at duke sixty percent. Disgusting. Steph Curry
Speaker 1: is not a sixty percent three point shooter. I know
Speaker 1: it's a small sample size, but it's a small sample
Speaker 1: size award. Hemi Award goes to a week long span
Speaker 1: of production. He also scored his five thousandth point as
Speaker 1: a nick that is a milestone worth mentioning as well.
Speaker 1: But instead we will give the Hemi Award to a
Speaker 1: man who is largely overlooked because of the team that
Speaker 1: he plays for, a team that's so bad they can't
Speaker 1: even beat the Washington Wizards either time. They played him
Speaker 1: twice last week. They've gotten blown out the last three nights.
Speaker 1: And you might say, Trista, it's you're giving the Hemie
Speaker 1: Award out to somebody who's in the bad culture, losing efforts,
Speaker 1: putting up empty stats. No, the Charlotte Hornets are not
Speaker 1: good because they're not good. Okay, like they have a
Speaker 1: roster full of guys that don't make no damn sense.
Speaker 1: But the Hemmi Award must go to LaMelo Ball. Charlotte
Speaker 1: needs to help this man out. LaMelo is doing the
Speaker 1: Lord's work out there, top five in the NBA and
Speaker 1: potential assists, but guess what, but guess what, but guess what.
Speaker 1: His teammates can't make a bit. Doesn't matter if he
Speaker 1: gets to him underneath the basket or an open corner three.
Speaker 1: They're just not making any sixteen potential assists a game,
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball over his last four games, thirty points, six
Speaker 1: point eight rebounds per game, eight point zero assists per game,
Speaker 1: almost one and a half steals, forty six percent from three,
Speaker 1: fifty five percent from the field, eighty one percent from
Speaker 1: the free throw line, and in the garden thirty two points,
Speaker 1: seven rebounds, six assists, just absolutely killing. He has been
Speaker 1: doing it in a pretty flashy fashion as well. He
Speaker 1: locked down Tyreese Halliburton with the game on the line.
Speaker 1: He forced a turnover without Hollie even getting a shot
Speaker 1: off the flare, the sholanship. Nobody really talks about that
Speaker 1: quite enough. Someone say this man, because he's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna be appreciated until he gets at least a legit
Speaker 1: squad around him. But let's be honest, he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: ask for a trade and go somewhere else, which he deserves.
Speaker 1: He is in his right to do so. He's been
Speaker 1: one of the very few bright spots on a team
Speaker 1: that has been enveloped in darkness, like it is a
Speaker 1: planet that has been shut off by Captain Marvel herself.
Speaker 1: The Himmy Award goes to LaMelo Ball. Congratulations to LaMelo Ball.
Speaker 1: He is I and I am him Flashy with the
Speaker 1: rim to the brim I forgive how it went. Don't
Speaker 1: be surprised if he gets back to the Hemmie Award.
Speaker 1: Sometimes doesn't either,
