Speaker 1: On this episode of The Heat Check, We're back, baby.
Speaker 2: I'm fully moved into my childhood home in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 1: I apologize for miss last week. I am really sorry. However,
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that would have worked. It
Speaker 1: was stressed. But now we are back. We are ready
Speaker 1: to cook. We talk in this episode.
Speaker 2: About the resurrection of the Gangs, the Sacramento Gangs. We
Speaker 2: talk about the latest and the Jimmy Butler Saga Zion
Speaker 2: getting suspended after just one game back, even though he
Speaker 2: looks really good in a bunch of news from around
Speaker 2: the league. Anthey, my man, drop that motherfucking beat should
Speaker 2: be real. Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back. First and foremost,
Speaker 2: you're not following me and subscribing to me on Instagram
Speaker 2: for the feet photos.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the first episode back in the Heat Check
Speaker 2: on the West Coast.
Speaker 1: I finally moved back home to Portland to help out
Speaker 1: my mom.
Speaker 2: I will be more consistent from here on out. We
Speaker 2: have a lot to cover, and I think number one
Speaker 2: to me in the news is the I think it's
Speaker 2: a complete turnaround. I'm not ready to call it that exactly,
Speaker 2: but it's close of the Sacramento Kinks.
Speaker 1: Less than two weeks ago, the team parted with.
Speaker 2: Mike Brown, who remember, just two years ago was the
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year so and they replaced him with
Speaker 2: interim coach Doug Christie. Now, Doug Christie seems to have
Speaker 2: reinvigorated these boys. To be fair, I did not have
Speaker 2: a lot of hope for the Kings this year after
Speaker 2: that move. Not no shade did Doug Christie and the
Speaker 2: photo that was surfaced after he got that job with.
Speaker 1: Him on a leash with his wife.
Speaker 2: I thought maybe the issue with the Sacramento Kings was
Speaker 2: more roster related, and I think maybe it still is.
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure any coach would be able to help
Speaker 2: team chemistry was in the toilet. Shooting from three was
Speaker 2: erratic at best. The team was not able to defend
Speaker 2: a park car. Their three point.
Speaker 1: Defense was really bad.
Speaker 2: So I was wondering, like, how is a coach going
Speaker 2: to be able to fix all of these issues? Somehow,
Speaker 2: some way, Doug Christie seemingly has, and after losing his
Speaker 2: first game as head coach, the Kings have now reeled
Speaker 2: off seven straight wins.
Speaker 1: They are now the hottest team in the NBA. Can
Speaker 1: you even believe it? So? How have they done it?
Speaker 2: Friend of show Will Easy we have to have him
Speaker 2: on soon has broke this down on Sports Illustrated. First
Speaker 2: of all, they have improved their three point shooting under
Speaker 2: Doug Christie, raising it from thirty four to thirty seven percent.
Speaker 2: The correlation, though, is that they're now holding their opponents
Speaker 2: from to thirty six from deep as well, down from
Speaker 2: thirty eight percent. Very subtle shift, but that's important because
Speaker 2: it means that they are now shooting higher quality threes
Speaker 2: nineteen open threes on average under Doug Christie compared to
Speaker 2: thirteen only under Mike Brown, and they're defending the perimeter
Speaker 2: much better. Fourteen open opponent threes to sixteen a game
Speaker 2: under Mike Brown doesn't seem like a lot, but shit
Speaker 2: adds up, especially when you're only losing by a few
Speaker 2: points per game. Second, they're playing up to their competition
Speaker 2: instead of down to it. During the seven game winning streak,
Speaker 2: they've beaten the MAVs without Kyrie and Luca, the Grizzlies
Speaker 2: without Jaw, the Warriors stephf did play in that game,
Speaker 2: the Heat without Jimmy Butler the Boston Celtics fully loaded
Speaker 2: on the road by seventeen points. I know I'm downplaying
Speaker 2: who was playing in that game, but these were big
Speaker 2: teams to beat regardless of whether they had stars out.
Speaker 2: I think under Mike Brown, and this is no shade
Speaker 2: to Mike Brown, they would have lost those games even without.
Speaker 1: The stars playing in it.
Speaker 2: And to top it off, this team is now doing
Speaker 2: it without Dearon Fox and his twenty seven points per game.
Speaker 2: Damar DeRozan and Demonis Bonis are both averaging twenty one
Speaker 2: points per game now. More importantly, Keegan Murray is averaging
Speaker 2: fifteen a game since coming back from injury, up from
Speaker 2: eight to game in the six games before that. In
Speaker 2: those three games, he averaged a plus thirteen net rating
Speaker 2: as opposed to.
Speaker 1: A negative eight before.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on with Keegan Murray,
Speaker 2: but that's pretty incredible. The big news is that Sacramento
Speaker 2: is now ninth in the West. They are a game
Speaker 2: over five hundred. More importantly, the Kings are just two
Speaker 2: games out of the fifth spot in a very loaded West,
Speaker 2: and on top of that, the Mavers are just falling
Speaker 2: off of a cliff without Luca, who knows how long
Speaker 2: they're gonna be without him. Kyrie is injured as well,
Speaker 2: so there's open spots for the Kings to make a
Speaker 2: move against the odds. Our Kings are Sacramento Kings. Their
Speaker 2: season is back on.
Speaker 1: Warm me up on that bean baby moving forward.
Speaker 2: Another team that I am enjoying watching right now is
Speaker 2: the New York Knicks. Despite the fact that this team
Speaker 2: is third place in the East twenty six and fourteen
Speaker 2: six point fifty winning percentage, which is absolutely bizarre and insane,
Speaker 2: there are some doubters still, mostly because they went through
Speaker 2: a rough stretch where they lost four or five OKAC,
Speaker 2: which is fair Chicago, which like Chicago, is.
Speaker 1: Very, very tough.
Speaker 2: There were those teams that BAITCHA or Orlando and OKAC
Speaker 2: again losing twice to Thunder.
Speaker 1: Though like I don't really blame them for that. It's
Speaker 1: not a big deal.
Speaker 2: Almost everyone is getting trucked by the OKAC Thunder unless
Speaker 2: they're the Cleveland Cavaliers. They lost to Chicago by thirteen,
Speaker 2: Orlando by nine, and now everybody is losing faith.
Speaker 1: Everybody is thinking, oh, the Knicks are not good. The
Speaker 1: Knicks up now.
Speaker 2: Carl Anytown's bald Anyway, People forget that the Knicks had
Speaker 2: won nine in a row before that little skid, So
Speaker 2: Sunday's game against Milwaukee had this added interest. Everyone was like, ooh,
Speaker 2: how are they going to perform against Jannie and Dame.
Speaker 1: Turns out pretty looking good.
Speaker 2: The Knicks put a straight boot a black air Force
Speaker 2: one to the Buck's throat, curb stomping them, curb American history,
Speaker 2: exing them to the tune of one.
Speaker 1: Forty to one oh six.
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson scored forty four on five to ten from three,
Speaker 2: Kat scored thirty on shooting ten for sixteen, campaign scored
Speaker 2: eighteen off the bench.
Speaker 1: Just a complete performance.
Speaker 2: By a Knicks team and a good reminder that Brunson
Speaker 2: can win games.
Speaker 1: All by himself.
Speaker 2: Also, Josh Hart has had some awesome games here and
Speaker 2: there throughout the season. It feels like they're the whack
Speaker 2: a mole team in the East where on any given
Speaker 2: night somebody could go off and we're not really sure
Speaker 2: who that is. As for the Bucks, they've now I
Speaker 2: love it. They've fallen back to earth. They are now
Speaker 2: at twenty and seventeen. They've moved Chris.
Speaker 1: Middleton to the bench.
Speaker 2: They've brought Torrian Prince into the starting lineup, who contributed
Speaker 2: a total of checks notes three points in twenty three
Speaker 2: minutes and negative twenty eight net rating, and Chris Middleton,
Speaker 2: by the way, was the only Bucks player with a
Speaker 2: positive net rating. So the Bucks are kind of in
Speaker 2: a little bit of trouble. As for the Knicks, they're
Speaker 2: gonna have spills where they dip for a few games
Speaker 2: and then they write the ship. I think what's very
Speaker 2: interesting is the comment that Josh Hart made on the
Speaker 2: Roommates podcast not that long ago, where he said, listen.
Speaker 1: It's only a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Per game where maybe you get a bad call or
Speaker 2: a great call, or maybe you go through a little
Speaker 2: bit of a shooting slump or a hot streak, and
Speaker 2: that decides everything these games. When we slump, people think
Speaker 2: that we're going to change things or change everything.
Speaker 1: We're not changing anything, uh.
Speaker 2: And we're so glad to have a fan base that
Speaker 2: cares about us and rocks with us whether we're losing
Speaker 2: or winning, but also presses us to be better. It's
Speaker 2: better than a fan base that doesn't care at all,
Speaker 2: And I think.
Speaker 1: That's very fair.
Speaker 2: The Knicks are gonna have downturns, They're gonna have upswings.
Speaker 2: But what matters is how they play in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: And this team with n Kelbridge is playing at a
Speaker 2: pretty damn good level, which we've talked about him before.
Speaker 1: I think they're dangerous.
Speaker 2: The issue, obviously with the TIBs team is will they
Speaker 2: be fresh coming off so many forty minute games? Their
Speaker 2: rotations are eight men at most even a thirty point
Speaker 2: blowout Rent win, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and Karl Anthony
Speaker 2: Towns all put in thirty five or more minutes. As
Speaker 2: someone said about Tibbs all the way back in Chicago,
Speaker 2: the only thing holding the Tibbs team back is Tibbs Cat.
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Town's Okay, Cat.
Speaker 2: Dismiss this claim of being overworked, but I think it
Speaker 2: is something to monitor moving forward. Okay, since we last talked,
Speaker 2: the Jimmy Butler saga has gotten even more strange. Not
Speaker 2: only has Butler said, Hey, I don't.
Speaker 1: Want to be here anymore. I'm out of here. Trade
Speaker 1: me right now, get me out of here. I'm not happy.
Speaker 1: I've lost my love for the game off the court,
Speaker 1: I'm happy. On the court. I'm miserable.
Speaker 2: Then, the Heat suspended them for ten games, and they
Speaker 2: sent a full memo to the NBPA outlining all the
Speaker 2: ways the Butler has just continued to tank the Heat
Speaker 2: so far, including lying to the team about being injured
Speaker 2: while partying at night.
Speaker 1: It is getting ugly the truth of the matter.
Speaker 2: By the way, Also, Jimmy Butler going to Unrivaled and
Speaker 2: hanging out working out with some of the players was awesome.
Speaker 1: That was like a good feel good story. But the
Speaker 1: truth of the.
Speaker 2: Matter is there's not much interest in taking on Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2: You're gonna need to pay him one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: He's thirty five years old. Even when he's not lying
Speaker 2: about his injuries, he's injured. Even when he's not going out,
Speaker 2: he's still got things that he wants to do off
Speaker 2: the court. And Jimmy Butler is an awesome playoff performer,
Speaker 2: that's what we know he does well, but his regular
Speaker 2: season stuff is not great. On top of that, he's
Speaker 2: a bit mercurial and sometimes.
Speaker 1: Can just decide I don't really want to play for
Speaker 1: you anymore. So he's difficult at best.
Speaker 2: The teams that could hypothetically take on his salary, like
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets or the San Antonio Spurs don't really
Speaker 2: want him. They don't have any interest in adding him
Speaker 2: to the roster, and why would they really, And he
Speaker 2: has zero interest in playing for them or any non contender.
Speaker 1: He even has.
Speaker 2: No interest in playing for some contenders. He said to
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks, do not trade for me. I don't
Speaker 2: want to play for you. I'm not playing for Doc Rivers.
Speaker 2: The only team that is interested in Jimmy and the
Speaker 2: only team that Jimmy is interested in, are the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2: He wants Phoenix bad the big roadblock, Bradley Beial. Bradley
Speaker 2: Buial has a no trade clause. Bradley Bial is the
Speaker 2: only piece that they can conceivably trade for Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: without looking like complete buffoons. He has one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten million dollars left on his contract and a no
Speaker 2: trade clause that he will not wave wherever he goes next.
Speaker 2: So why would the Miami Heat want to do that?
Speaker 2: So then the Sons in the Heat need to find
Speaker 2: a third team to send them.
Speaker 1: And how difficult is that going to be?
Speaker 2: That's not gonna be easy, I really think, And I
Speaker 2: said this before Jimmy Butler gonna end this season on
Speaker 2: the Heat. He is going to pick up his player
Speaker 2: option and do.
Speaker 1: This shit again.
Speaker 2: It's like when a team is so physical all game
Speaker 2: long that eventually refs just stopped calling fouls. If Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler is tanking all year long in Miami, They're not
Speaker 2: gonna suspend them the whole season. There's just no way
Speaker 2: that they would do that. There's no way that the
Speaker 2: NBPA would do that. And personally, though, outside of the
Speaker 2: semantics around Jimmy Butler and whether he's doing the right
Speaker 2: thing or whether he's handling this in the appropriate way,
Speaker 2: this is exposed a lot of my Heat brethren, my
Speaker 2: Heat fans, my Heat fan brothers and sisters, y'all look
Speaker 2: like hypocrites right now. I'm just gonna say my mentions.
Speaker 2: When Damian Lillard asked for trade to the Miami Een
Speaker 2: and the Miami were in shambles, people were so mad
Speaker 2: at me. They were commenting, Trista, the Trailblazers just need
Speaker 2: to do right by Dame. Trade him to a contender,
Speaker 2: trade him to where he wants to go. Allow that
Speaker 2: man who's been loyal to get to his destination, regardless
Speaker 2: of what the package pause looks like for Damian Lillard
Speaker 2: from the Miami you take that Heimi Hawk as Tyler Hero,
Speaker 2: Nikola Jovich and two first round picks in twenty seven
Speaker 2: and twenty thirty one or whatever it was, and.
Speaker 1: You fucking eat that and swallow it and like it.
Speaker 1: And I was like no.
Speaker 2: And then my comments were, Oh, well, you're just a
Speaker 2: poverty franchise and nobody's gonna wanna come there if you
Speaker 2: don't do right by Dame blah blah blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. And now look at you, and now you're saying,
Speaker 2: we just need to get something back.
Speaker 1: Good for Jimmy. We're not gonna send him wherever he
Speaker 1: wants to go.
Speaker 2: It's a different tune all together, Heat fans. But one
Speaker 2: thing is for sure, this is not gonna have a
Speaker 2: happy ending. This will end badly for everyone involved. No
Speaker 2: one's gonna get what they want. And I don't think
Speaker 2: this ends anytime soon. Zion's back returning, but the honeymoon
Speaker 2: lasted just one game.
Speaker 1: Zion also looked bomb.
Speaker 2: He looked really good against the Timberwolves. Yeah, he actually
Speaker 2: looked like he was pretty fit. Twenty eight minutes he played,
Speaker 2: reminded everyone that he is, in fact still a superstar
Speaker 2: when healthy, drives I think the third most in the
Speaker 2: NBA per game. Most of the discourse was all about
Speaker 2: how good it was to see him back, how fit
Speaker 2: he looked, and then all of a sudden, the Pelicans
Speaker 2: suspended Zion for conduct detrimental to the team after one game.
Speaker 2: You can't make this up. You really cannot make it up,
Speaker 2: Chris Haynes reported the following. New Orleans Pelicans stars Zion
Speaker 2: Williamson has been late for multiple practices this season, on
Speaker 2: top of being late for the team's flight to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: These incidents led to a one game suspension.
Speaker 1: Bruh, you can't get How do you get fired on
Speaker 1: your day off?
Speaker 2: How are you late when you haven't even been here
Speaker 2: the whole season? Bro, this is a bad look. Zion
Speaker 2: took accountability. He said, this is on me. I shouldn't
Speaker 2: have done it, and this is a bad look for
Speaker 2: me the franchise. But like Zion, you're kinda you kinda
Speaker 2: ain't shit right now.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 2: Zion ended up missing two games before coming back Sunday night,
Speaker 2: losing to the Celtics, where he put up sixteen seven
Speaker 2: and three, he had five steals in limited action. The
Speaker 2: trade rumors are now even heating up more honestly, because
Speaker 2: people are saying, well, while he still looks fit and
Speaker 2: he's still healthy, they might as well get rid of
Speaker 2: him to somebody who wants him, like a San Antonio
Speaker 2: Spurs type. But if the Pelicans continue to play terribly
Speaker 2: and Cooper Flag continues to ball out, does he want
Speaker 2: to play for the New Orleans Pelicans with Zion on
Speaker 2: it and brandon ingram on it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hopefully this is just a blip on the radar and
Speaker 2: we zee Zion on the floor for the rest of
Speaker 2: the year. But knowing Zion strap in folks, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a bumpy, lumpy ride again.
Speaker 1: Okay, some news.
Speaker 2: From around the league. I would be remiss not to
Speaker 2: mention just the devastating fires that have plagued LA. The
Speaker 2: place that I used to live, the Pacific Palisades, was
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 1: Second home to me.
Speaker 2: They used to spend a lot of time there and
Speaker 2: to see it disappearing in real time has just been crushing.
Speaker 2: And the NBA community, as you imagine, was hit hard
Speaker 2: as well. JJ Reddick, head coach of the LA Lakers
Speaker 2: lost his rental home, but he also lost all of
Speaker 2: his belongings.
Speaker 1: He said, I.
Speaker 2: Wasn't prepared for what I saw. It's devastation and total destruction.
Speaker 2: I had to go a different way to get to
Speaker 2: the house, but I went through most of the Palisades
Speaker 2: village and it was just all gone. I don't think
Speaker 2: you can prepare yourself for something like that. Our home,
Speaker 2: it's gone. Other Lakers personnel tragically lost homes include the
Speaker 2: team's legal director, Dan Grisby, Josh Green, the Lakers general counsel,
Speaker 2: who lost homes in the Palisades, and Rohan Ollie, the
Speaker 2: team cameraman who lost his home in Altadena.
Speaker 1: As for the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard, after just.
Speaker 2: Coming back from injury, he is stepping away from the
Speaker 2: team to take care of his family who had to
Speaker 2: evacuate as well. Doe to the fires. We've got games canceling.
Speaker 2: LA Laker games and the Clipper games were canceled through
Speaker 2: the fires. Probably gonna resume soon, but the fires are
Speaker 2: raging on. More homes in the valley are starting to
Speaker 2: go up in flames, Evacuations are more taking place. Attendance
Speaker 2: is probably going to be spotty because of so many
Speaker 2: displaced people.
Speaker 1: It's tough.
Speaker 2: My heart goes out to everyone that is affected by this.
Speaker 2: It's been gratifying to see community outreach and support and
Speaker 2: a pouring of just embracing one another, you know, and
Speaker 2: getting supplies and shelters opening up for the animals that
Speaker 2: needed to be evacuated as well.
Speaker 1: And it's just a lot.
Speaker 2: And to see people help others in distress when government
Speaker 2: programs and insurance companies aren't doing what they need to
Speaker 2: do in times where it's very dire was heartwarming, honestly.
Speaker 2: So I hope everybody's staying safe out there in LA
Speaker 2: and I wish I could do something more anyway. Moving
Speaker 2: on to some other NBA news, turns out that those
Speaker 2: big plans that the Sixers had to build a new
Speaker 2: stadium at Market Street are dead. Instead, the organization said
Speaker 2: they're going to build a new stadium in South Philly,
Speaker 2: although the details have not been released. The change of
Speaker 2: venue is tied now to a new deal of the
Speaker 2: six signed with Comcast Spectacor. What's surprising though, is that
Speaker 2: the news is that the Philadelphia City Council just approved
Speaker 2: the project, and now the Sixers are being accused of
Speaker 2: acting in bad faith by supporters of the original project,
Speaker 2: which promised to revitalize a huge swath of the city's downtown.
Speaker 2: The plan was not without opponents. It was slated to
Speaker 2: basically remove Philadelphia's Chinatown from existence, which is not good,
Speaker 2: and create an enormous gridlock in the center of the city.
Speaker 2: Councilman Jimmy Harridy, who supported the downtown plan, he is
Speaker 2: he is pissed, folks.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 2: I am so livid right now. I don't even know
Speaker 2: what to say. I feel as though I was used
Speaker 2: as a pawn, no, sir, more like stalking horse. It's
Speaker 2: more of what it feels like to me. Since the
Speaker 2: Sixers rent out their Curnerina from Comcast Spectacre, it is
Speaker 2: almost certain that they may be updating venues and they
Speaker 2: will not be changing locations. All right, And finally we
Speaker 2: got a DeMarcus Cousins Boogie Cousins Sighting Boogie signed a
Speaker 2: deal with Sey Lang Gay bo Don Soup Bar.
Speaker 1: Tar whooh, okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's correct exactly, but who They're
Speaker 2: a team in the Mongolian Professional League. Get your money, Boogie,
Speaker 2: get your fucking money. I would do the same thing.
Speaker 2: I was unaware that Mongolia, the country north of China
Speaker 2: with the population of just three and a half million people,
Speaker 2: had a professional league, But in fact they do. They
Speaker 2: have a ten team Professional Basketball Association and Selangey stands
Speaker 2: in second place at ten and five. They are contending,
Speaker 2: trailing the zach Broncos who are off to a hot
Speaker 2: fifteen and dudes dart.
Speaker 1: As they say, can't stop the zach Broncos. You can
Speaker 1: only hope to contain them, you know. That's what my
Speaker 1: mama always says.
Speaker 2: Some detailed research shows that there are at least twenty
Speaker 2: American players though right now Mongolia, including some for Mirria.
Speaker 1: Your names that you might know.
Speaker 2: Lance Thomas played a duke, played briefly for the Knicks.
Speaker 2: Orlando Johnson man. Orlando Johnson had a lot of promise
Speaker 2: from Santa Barbara, who played with the Pacers diamond Stone.
Speaker 1: He got drafted fortieth overall. He played with the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Other college stars excuse me, Chamori Pond's out of Saint John's,
Speaker 2: Kenny Wooton, junior of my Oregon Ducks, all of them.
Speaker 1: Playing in Mongolia.
Speaker 2: I am happy that men are able to make a
Speaker 2: living somewhere doing what they love.
Speaker 1: Thirty four years old, Boogie Cousins.
Speaker 2: He should probably still be in the league right now,
Speaker 2: but at least he's out getting his bread. I would
Speaker 2: love to sit down and get some stories about what
Speaker 2: it's like in Mongolia to play basketball.
Speaker 1: Maybe I will track him down for an interview soon.
Speaker 2: And then we end the around the League segment with
Speaker 2: a quick story about Nicola Miritych, the montenegri And center
Speaker 2: who played five years in the league. Miritich was reached
Speaker 2: out about his experience with Jimmy Butler and who he
Speaker 2: said had the greatest work ethic of any player he
Speaker 2: ever shared a floor with. But I think what struck
Speaker 2: out to me about the interview was his comments on
Speaker 2: what it's like to play in the NBA as a Euro.
Speaker 2: He said things that stood out about playing in the
Speaker 2: NBA were speed, physicality, trash talk.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I hated the trash talk. I couldn't get used to
Speaker 2: that for a long time. During the practice and in
Speaker 2: the game, there was just so much trash talk that
Speaker 2: I was actually taking it personally.
Speaker 1: So if you ever wonder why.
Speaker 2: The Euros throw down so often in the NBA, they
Speaker 2: feel disrespected, They feel some kind of way. Yo, don't
Speaker 2: call me out my name. They don't like the O
Speaker 2: Mama jokes. Apparently they don't get them all right. And
Speaker 2: finally we returned with your trist as wild ask that
Speaker 2: of the week which is usually Fridays, but because we
Speaker 2: missed the whole week, it is happening on a Monday,
Speaker 2: and let me tell you it's about LaMelo Ball. Turns
Speaker 2: out everyone's favorite Charlie Hornet is currently taking the most
Speaker 2: shots per minute of anyone in.
Speaker 1: The NBA in history.
Speaker 2: Since it's the guy everybody always compares everything too Wilt Chamberlain.
Speaker 2: His point seven to seven shots per minute is the
Speaker 2: fifth most in NBA history so far, trailing Wilt's sixty
Speaker 2: one sixty two season where he had point eight one
Speaker 2: four shots per minute. Wow, that is world class chucking.
Speaker 2: He will have to chuck some more if he wants
Speaker 2: the record. On top of that, LaMelo Ball, I think
Speaker 2: is the leading guard for All Star voting, which just
Speaker 2: shows you at the cold basketball is having a hard
Speaker 2: time staying afloat.
Speaker 1: That is all the time that we have for the
Speaker 1: Heat Check.
Speaker 2: Tune in every week as we break down on what's
Speaker 2: happened in the NBA and soon the Women's game also
