WEBVTT - A Generation Defining HIMMY Award

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:05.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get into the Hemi Award. It is Monday.

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It is time for he is I and I am him,

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>pimped with the tilted brim. I forget how it goes

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>every time. Now I did it once and now I

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>can't do it again. The Hemi Award goes to Jokic. Jokic.

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>We knew it was coming. It probably should be him

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>every week. Jokic is fucking inevitable. Jokic is getting stronger,

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>more powerful, and giving less fucks by the second. He

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>might be the best player of our generation already, and

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>he's just hitting his prime. I think there's a chance

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that Jokic, when it's all said and done, is up

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>there in the all time greats debate because of all

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of the things that he can do simultaneously. How good

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>has Jokic been right now? He's eighth in the NBA

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>in points per game, third in assists per game, and

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>leads the NBA in re bounced per game, averaging twenty nine,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>thirteen and ten. But that's just stats, that's just words,

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>that's just numbers. That doesn't even give you the full

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>picture of how absurdly good he has been. Half of

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the games that he's played. He hasn't even played with

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>his running mate Jal Murray. Keep that in mind. He

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>averages we know how much we like stock stock stocks.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>He averages two stocks a game, steals in blocks to

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>go with the defensive rating of Remember when we said

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Yokic couldn't play defense, He fucking sucks at defense. That's

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>his one knock. His defensive rating right now is one

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eight point seven. He heard the noise, he

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>heard the chatter, and he said, you know what, I'll

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>show you even better than his defensive rating last year

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>when he was very, very effective. He is that good, folks.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me explain Jokic's last game out. He put up.

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>This is six thirty six, fourteen and thirteen in his

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>six point loss to the Kings in the second night

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>of back to back. That was his fifteenth career thirty

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>five point triple double, which passed Wilt Chamberlain for sixth

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>most in NBA history. If you get your name in

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.679
<v Speaker 1>any way ahead of Wilt Chamberlain, it is an accomplishment

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>because part of me thinks about Wilt like the Greek

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>folks thought about the pantheon of gods. They do deeds

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that we mortals can't even comprehend, and I think everybody

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA knows it as well. This is what

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>King's coach Mike Brown said about Yokic in his postgame

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>presser after that game. He said, Jokiic is a hell

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>of a player. We threw the kitchen sink at him

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and he still had thirty six, fourteen and thirteen with

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>zero turnovers. You have no answer for Jokicic. No one

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>has any answer for Jokis. Jaron Fox said this.

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Back to back in MVP four Reason won a championship

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>finals MVP four Reason. You know you're never gonna just

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 2>stop him with one guy, or you know, a lot

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 2>of times even with the whole team, he probably won't

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>stop him. So, you know, most people want to try

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to make him a score, but he still finds ways

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>to get guys involved. He passes guys open, and you

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>just want to make sure that other guys don't really

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 2>get it going because when they do, then you know

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 2>it's it's pretty much pick your poison with that team.

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>So you just want to try to limit, you know,

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>most of his playmaking because he's so big. He scores

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 2>on all three levels. You're not going to block a shot,

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>so there's not many things that you can do, you know,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>when he's really going into you know, at tack moo

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to score, so you just try to limit everybody else.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he's that good. He I mean, Jokic probably

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>deserves his own award. It's not really even the Hemmy award.

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like the hand me the MVP award right now.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I love Steph and I think he deserves it because

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>this team is dog shit around him. But like we

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>stole the MVP from Yokic, we stole it. We collectively said,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, you're not good enough as a player in

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the collective of good players that can win back to

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>back to back MVPs. You've never won a thing in

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>your fucking life. You're chubby. We don't even think you

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>want it. So we're just gonna give it to MB

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's been literally complaining and bitching him, moaning that

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't won, and he's been pretty good too, so

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it would be a shame for us to give it

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to you when you've done nothing to deserve it on

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the winning level. And now he went out and won it,

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and I wondered to myself, like, did we steal that

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>from him? I think we did. I think Jokic deserves

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.799
<v Speaker 1>four in a row. Jokic is winning the MVP again

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>this year. That's how good he is. The past eight days,

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Jokic went off for thirty two, ten and fourteen, including

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>four offensive boards per game. That is ridiculous. We could probably,

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 1>like I said, rename it the Jokic Award instead of

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the Himmi Award. Nicola is a everywhere unlike Thanos. You

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>can't just take his rings. You can't just take this

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>man stones. He's the best player.

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 2>In the NBA.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>And the sooner we have Kendrick walking it back. We

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>have Kendrick walking it back. Remember, folks, what Kendrick said

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>about Jokic last year. He made it racial, and now

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>he's out here telling the world Jokic is the best

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>player on planet Earth. The sooner we all are Kendrick Perkins,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the happier we will all be. That's all the time

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.160
