WEBVTT - Lamelo Ball is HIM!

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Your you're listening to the Hottest, the Hottest. It'd be

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a podcast out here. I said what I said, it's

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the heat check check. Let's move on, Let's get out

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the Hemi Award. He is I, and I am him,

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>slim gym with the smoking rim, he's him. I just

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>made that up. Guys. The Hemi Award goes to hold up.

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the nominees. Could go to j honest,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty four and thirty six minutes, absolutely unstoppable, vintage Gianni's

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>performance when no one was out there. No Dame Dame

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>has a cash strain. Brooke Middleton is not a real person,

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>but they could be Chris Middleton. Chris Middleton was okay,

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>I think you had sixteen seventeen points. Brook Lopez was

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on a milk carton. They showed how many flaws they

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>have as a squad. But you honest, he was doing

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>his very best to beat the Indiana Pacers. And you

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>know what, we can't give him the hemy Award because

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>they fucking lost. It would have been bad culture at

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>its finest to give the Hemi Award to Yannisanta, to Koupo,

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because you cannot be the Milwaukee Bucks as a contender,

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.199
<v Speaker 1>supposedly the number one team in the East, YadA, YadA, YadA,

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and then lose to the Indiana Pacers and allow Ben

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Matherin and Tyreese Halliburton to put fifty on your head combined.

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, you cannot allow that the Hemi Award could

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>go to RJ. Barrett. Though New York Nick really stepping

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>up his game three wins in the performances in his

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>three last games where he went crazy. Last three games,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>He's had twenty four points, twenty four points, and twenty

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>six points all of those games. The Knicks one fifty

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>three percent shooting fifty eight percent from three and ninety

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>two percent from the free throw line during that span.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Sixty percent from three, boy is insane, especially considering r J.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Barrett was known to be an absolute brick machine from three.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>That was something that he needed to clean up even

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>when he was at duke sixty percent. Disgusting. Steph Curry

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is not a sixty percent three point shooter. I know

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a small sample size, but it's a small sample

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>size award. Hemi Award goes to a week long span

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of production. He also scored his five thousandth point as

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a nick that is a milestone worth mentioning as well.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>But instead we will give the Hemi Award to a

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>man who is largely overlooked because of the team that

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>he plays for, a team that's so bad they can't

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>even beat the Washington Wizards either time. They played him

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>twice last week. They've gotten blown out the last three nights.

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>And you might say, Trista, it's you're giving the Hemie

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Award out to somebody who's in the bad culture, losing efforts,

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>putting up empty stats. No, the Charlotte Hornets are not

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>good because they're not good. Okay, like they have a

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>roster full of guys that don't make no damn sense.

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>But the Hemmi Award must go to LaMelo Ball. Charlotte

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>needs to help this man out. LaMelo is doing the

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Lord's work out there, top five in the NBA and

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>potential assists, but guess what, but guess what, but guess what.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>His teammates can't make a bit. Doesn't matter if he

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>gets to him underneath the basket or an open corner three.

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>They're just not making any sixteen potential assists a game,

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>LaMelo Ball over his last four games, thirty points, six

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>point eight rebounds per game, eight point zero assists per game,

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.399
<v Speaker 1>almost one and a half steals, forty six percent from three,

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>fifty five percent from the field, eighty one percent from

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line, and in the garden thirty two points,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>seven rebounds, six assists, just absolutely killing. He has been

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>doing it in a pretty flashy fashion as well. He

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>locked down Tyreese Halliburton with the game on the line.

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>He forced a turnover without Hollie even getting a shot

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>off the flare, the sholanship. Nobody really talks about that

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>quite enough. Someone say this man, because he's probably not

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be appreciated until he gets at least a legit

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>squad around him. But let's be honest, he's probably gonna

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>ask for a trade and go somewhere else, which he deserves.

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>He is in his right to do so. He's been

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>one of the very few bright spots on a team

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that has been enveloped in darkness, like it is a

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>planet that has been shut off by Captain Marvel herself.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>The Himmy Award goes to LaMelo Ball. Congratulations to LaMelo Ball.

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>He is I and I am him Flashy with the

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>rim to the brim I forgive how it went. Don't

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if he gets back to the Hemmie Award.

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes doesn't either,
