 What's the word y'all let's talk about the MVP race the content creator safety blanket Well, you don't have months to talk about break up the MVP race and talk about what has changed And we will talk about other things like the other games today But I want to talk about the MVP award because around this time last year. They were really just two different options, right? You had Nicola Yoko choose having an amazing accounting stat season advanced that season in a great team record And believe it or not I know a lot of people forget about this around this time towards the trade that line slash all-star break LeBron was still in MVP conversations But other than that it was just those two dudes in the MVP race and this year in 2022 if you told me right now who your MVP was just like three to four different people that if you said their name I couldn't call you crazy. You know, it's a little bit different than last year Right and though if you were to ask me right now in January 15th at 1144 p.m. Who is my MVP? I would say y'all instead of combo There are some other players that are climbing up the ladder things have been shipped in dramatically over the past month It seems like or not even seem like everything pointed to it being Steph Curry's award to lose And bro lost it. I'm being honest with you, brother It's the slump that he had been in the last month has dropped him from a guy that look like he might run away with it To a guy that might be fourth. Maybe, you know I mean, I know we have an entire half of the season left But I'm saying if the votes were to be put in right now, I don't see Steph Curry is top four You know I'm saying there are some other people that are climbing up We've seen some shuffling of the decks and one of the dudes that is climbing up right now is Joel and B Today's video is brought to you by prize picks hit that link in the description and download the app and use code Kenny because they're matching all deposits up to a hundred dollars for new players price Because add another level to me watching basketball, you know, I'm saying I'm picking over and under on my favorite players I'm trying to figure out if I get things right. So I'm recording this video late at night So the NBA things aren't up, but you can see the variety here. We got the NFL. We got college basketball We got PGA. We got soccer. We got CS go. We got League of Legends. We got Rocket League Come on, man. It's always just you versus the numbers, right? So if I was an NFL guy and I wanted to place an entry, mmm Jimmy Garoppolo at four twenty four point five now again I haven't watched Jimmy Garoppolo, but if I'm looking at his last five games He's been very very close to that and hit the over four to five times I might have to add him to my entry and that can legitimately be your method, right? You go through and you look and see oh my god Patchman Holmes is only hit the over one time, but it's the playoffs You got to take a lot of things to consideration and it's super super fun Hit that link in the description down at the prize speaks app and use code Kenny because they're matching all deposits for new users up to $100 go ahead and join the thousands of people that have already used code Kenny and send me your wins, man I'll be looking out for him according to stat muse in the last 30 days not games But days Jolyne Beatis average 31.8 points per game a little over 10 rebounds You shoot in 53% from the field and he's getting to the free throw line 11 times and the 76ers a team who on paper aren't very good are 9 and 1 in their last 10 and they are sitting at the 5c and they have some quality wins in their record I got I got them written down. They beat the heat which was tonight They have one win against the Nets one win against the Warriors and two wins against the Bulls There are some of the best teams in the entire league when the 76ers have Jolyne beat playing there 22 and 9 and when he doesn't play They are 3 and 8 Wow Jolyne beat has been absolutely sensational and every time I watch Jolyne beat or Yolk it or even Carthony Towns I think about how Fortunate we are as NBA fans that we're watching the NBA right now because we have so many three level scores at the center position You know I'm saying this is not a very normal thing in NBA history to have centers like elite level centers That can score in the paint they could get it in the mid-range It can also shoot the three in and this has been a closer career year for Jolyne beat in a lot of those ways He's shooting 38% from three on mid-range jump shot suited 41% But a long mid-range jump shot suited 43% and when it comes to the rim He's shooting 72% at the rim and one of the things that we talked about multiple times on this channel is his ability to Play make better than any time in his NBA career, right? There's one thing that you can say about Jolyne beat when it comes to his development One of the top things other than his conditioning and his staying healthy is the fact that he has improved himself as a Playmaker so so very much because on the scouting report when you look at the 76ers Yeah, Toby can potentially give you 20. He was very good tonight specifically or Seth Curry having the career year You're okay with all of that You don't want Jolyne beat to go crazy and a lot of teams are bringing double teams very very early on and he has been Able to find the cutters find the open three-point shooters and just been having such a great season as a playmaker We're seeing him do things that I know he's been doing this for us entire career But more this year than other years where he's grabbing a rebound He's going like coast-to-coast on his yokish thing not saying coast-to-coast like a layup But coast-to-coast and get in the offense ready and get an assist or get into a spot and get in the bucket The dribble mid-range pull-up for the seven-foot guy is ridiculous and it's a man amazing shot today specifically against the Miami Heat Omar Yurt seven played amazing defense on Jolyne be for What was 24 minutes the first half and then Jolyne beat in that second half decided that he wanted to go Overdrive and then the fourth quarter the fourth quarters He has been king. This is from Jackson Frank on Twitter 25 points on 88.8 true shooting in the second half of Jolyne be was completely unstoppable Offensively and shut down everyone aside the arc defensively not not just inside the arc He was guarding Jimmy Butler down the stretch and prevented Jimmy Butler from coming back in this game One of the most dominant halves you'll see from anyone this season 100% I watched all of this game And I was a little bit disappointed in his performance. I was like, oh, they're on the back to back You know, they just had a game against a Celtics that was that was you know a dog fight So we'll give him a little pass second half. He was like, oh, yeah I still want to win MVP because I remember like three seasons ago Jolyne be came into like a postgame or his conference before the season Start he's like I want to win defensive player the year But more importantly, I want to win MVP and last year I think it was second MVP vote and once the season ended because if you remember LeBron got injured and then that tanked him from Being in MVP conversations to pretty much no votes whatsoever He was very close in this season though I don't have him number one if he could teach a play at this level He might be really really in conversation for being number one It's absolutely insane the the load that he is carrying with this organization right now I'm again, Tobias Harris had a great game today, but he's been relatively inconsistent Seth Curry, I will say this though. Seth Curry has been great My favorite teammate of Jolyne B in this entire career has been JJ Reddick shout out to the homie Because the dribble handoff pick and roll thing that they had going on in those like Jimmy Butler Ben Simmons That that team was really talented right the dribble handoffs that they had the connection They had was top tier in the entire league and know the Seth Curry and Jolyne B when ain't at that level It's pretty close. It's so unfortunate that if I asked you what was the first thing to come to mind We hear the name Seth Curry 90% of people are gonna say oh, you mean Stefan Curry's brother If he wasn't Stefan Curry brother and he was just a dude in the NBA I think he'd get a lot more buzz and a lot more People talking about him because he's having a stellar season. I saw people arguing that he's been the better curry in this month I'm not saying that I'm people but I'm just saying so before we move on to the next game Let me know what your MVP ladder looks like right now in January 15th, and we will revisit this in a month Alright, let's talk about the other MVP my number one MVP. That was Yann Zedekumpo Even I don't really want to talk about him specifically other than the fact that this man Just had a perfect free throw game of 17 and 17 and they still ended up losing no drew holiday again When drew holiday Yannis and Chris Middleton play together. They're damn near invincible I know you're tired of hearing that but it is true at this point until proven otherwise But I want to show some love to Pascal Siakam because he has still been on this tear Some people have been tweeting me Kenny. What are the likelihood of Pascal Siakam making the all-star game today? He had a 30 10 and 10 game even though those last couple rebounds were kind of cherry picked whatever What is his likelihood of getting to the all-star game this season not very high because you missed so many games at the beginning of the season And I think that if you are going to pick an all-star from the Raptors, it is Fred Van Vleet I don't think that they deserve to have to but it's a very quality win for them Let's talk about and for any assignments because he has been absolutely incredible I made a tweet today that said that I'm in it took me a little bit I know some people had already been talking about him very recently and I'm finally in you know why why what took me so Okay, you have seen that he was dropping 30 pieces and can double doubles it would assist What took you so long to finally jump on a bandwagon because I've seen this in history where someone has a couple of games Once somebody else has get injured and it just doesn't last so where you like oh, don't remember that time Where blanket player was incredible and then he fell off I Needed to see a little bit more from Anthony Simons and try to figure out what of what he's doing right now It's sustainable versus what's not and I don't think he's doing anything that's unsustainable now He is shooting the three-point in an amazing clip I don't expect him to be shooting a 50% from 3d entire season That's one thing that's gonna fall off, but the vision is more more Developed is the word that I'm thinking of then I even anticipate it shout out to my guy Pierre my cousin Pierre He has a YouTube channel on this on this platform. I'm gonna leave his link in the description He's doing a huge D-Dab and Anthony Simons I don't think it come out came out yet, but it might come out the data's videos coming out show my boys Some love man. He's trying to get into the YouTube game. I think he got like 20,000 subscribers or so Let's try to get his numbers up. He's a guy that deep dies. He watches films and all of that So if you want extra nose and stuff subscribe to my boy P because he need doing that stuff but um He was talking to me about recently about Anthony Simons and the development of Anthony Simons and how his vision and his Playmaking has been way more than what I or he even anticipated and that's true Like I watched all of this game today. This is the way the The watch the wizards decided to guard Anthony Simons started off pick a roll use of nerkets drop coverage Anthony Simons got a got a clip that is crazy. It's crazy fast. He gets it off super fast Boom he start hitting like three threes four threes five threes and like, you know what? Let's let's has these things and then he's just start dishing into use of nerkets and they were like, you know what? Use of nerkets is getting layup at the layup at the layup Let's just prevent the three-point shot again and guess what Anthony Simons did shoot shoot shoot now in the second Half they played it even better and then his playmakers just elevated to a next level and it opens so many more Opsons for the Portland Trailblazers now that they know that they have this just a 22 year old guard by the way He's just 22 years old 22 year old guard. He's playing out of his mind right now What does that mean for CJ Norm Powell? Robert Coveton and all these other dudes that are friends players that are completely not untouchable. Oh Yeah, you already know the answer to my to my question from my perspective All of those boys can go because if I'm starting next season and you know the Damien Lillard's not go get traded because they're not Going to trade Damien Lillard my backcourt is Dame and Anthony Simons and yeah this season with those two players on the court has been one of the worst defenses in the NBA Sure, that's why I'm trading CJ. I'm trading norm I'm trading everything that I can to try to bolster up my defense because I believe that those two players can carry me Offensively for in the future. Give me a good role in big. Maybe that is use of nerkets coming back I don't really know give me a good role in big that sets big-body screens and those two dudes can do the Dame and CJ thing But now they have the equity to go get some other people that can actually defend if even if Anthony Simon's not the real deal The stress of his own right now is incredible and it's super fun So if you're not watching Anthony Simon's right now, I highly recommend go watch the highlights from last game Just watch all of his possessions because he was really picking apart to watch the Wizards defense The Knicks are rolling ladies and gentlemen. Don't look now The New York Knicks three game win streak seven and three in her last ten and there are above 500 for the first time And I don't know how long this is mirroring kind of what happened last season Right when they start off really slow and then they pick it up The only difference is they had expectations this season so them starting off slow was was amplified But I've been really enjoying point RJ Barrett. He's been he's been finding his teammates He's been super aggressive and he's been great as much as I want to show love for the Knicks I got to talk about the Atlanta Hawks because they have lost 10 straight games at home 10 they are 17 and 25. They were in the conference finals a couple months ago Trey young early in the season like yeah, man The regular season counterborn bro You not go get to the postseason play like this my G and I'm not saying him specifically But as a team you're not gonna get to the postseason This which is exciting if you don't pick it up in a regular season 10 straight home losses Is the craziest thing that can happen to a team that started off? I think eight and three at home and they were struggling on the road And I remember Atlanta Hawks fans talking to me and it was like hitting We just lost six in the row on the road on that West Coast road trip. We gonna be straight once we get to the crib No, it hasn't been I don't care who your opponent is There's no reason for any team to lose 10 straight games in front of their home crowd It's ridiculous and today it was no exception It was ridiculous and that's from an outside fan looking at I can't imagine With the Atlanta Hawks fan is thinking right now. I hope that Kevin Durant is okay James Harden had a great game, but I'm really praying that Kevin Durant is cool I know that they play on MLK day in a couple nights, but more than anything I just want KD to be cool because that that was that looked like something that could have been bad Hyper extended sprainy. I don't really know maybe more information will be out by the time this video is out But we praying for KD because man, we need KD to be healthy I did not watch calves versus thunder completely in real time But I saw the Dearest Garden had a career night when it came to assists and I was like, you know what? I'm here for that so I watched all of Dearest Garland's possessions and at one point They were down but like 15 20 points to the thunder and then they just started to turn up Every mobile he had a 20 piece and a lot of that was like spoon fed from Dearest Garland Bro be zipping the ball everywhere You know I'm saying like he's got some velocity on the passes and he threw a lot of oops to Jared Allen and one of his better games of the season just trying to boaster up that Resume so he could get an all-star appearance. The Bulls lost to the Celtics and that marks I think the the Bulls first three game losing streak of the season now They sit at 27 and 14 and you know what I am not mad at this loss whatsoever Because the last two losses were so atrocious I made a tweet after or during the Warriors game where they were losing by a hundred points They're like, it's not the fact that they're losing a game. I can be okay with losses It's basketball any any team can win any given night It's them in the way that you lose games and in the two games against the ball the Brooklyn Nets and Against the Warriors there was little to no effort from the Chicago Bulls There's no reason to be losing by Ford at any point ever I don't care who you are if you have NBA quality players You should not be losing by 40 and on Astro TV. Come on dog There was no heart in those two games today, even though they did lose they showed a lot of heart No Zach Levy, Alex Caruso, Givante Green, Lonzo Ball, Deirdre Jones, Jr. The list goes on and on and on the missing players and no I'm not using that as an excuse But I'm using that as a way to show that the Bulls lost a game by two against the Celtics when they were running out of Dude named Malcolm Hill and if you look up Malcolm Hill on NBA.com bro ain't got a picture You know I'm saying IO DeSumo was amazing one of the biggest deals in the draft and my rook is just playing his heart out out there I'm Kobe White had played some great defense today This team played hard and though we did not get the win and we might lose again on Monday because Zach won't be back I'm okay with this kind of loss because they gave it their all boots bad foul at the end I can't be mad at you though for the overall performance tonight. I can't be mad at you Yeah, it was a bad foul. I can't be mad at you I got to show the love to Robin Williams because as a 60% free throw shooter He knocked down four consecutive clutch free throws to win this game. So shout out to him Um, and I know some people are expecting me to talk about the Lakers game But I said listen listen to how wild this Lakers season is going right now Um, I saw that LeBron and Yoko you're about to go again go against each other and I decided I Rather not It's not like some other game took my attention. I just told myself It's not gonna be worth it and it wasn't I seen a goal of Yoko It's a bones highly a good games and I'm sorry Spurs fans. I didn't watch your win I saw it was a close game down a stretch. He all pulled away, but I didn't watch that But I saw LeBron and Nicola Yoko Going against each other and I was like, I don't really feel like watching that So that that's that has nothing to do with Yoko. It's it's the other team and I mean Oh my god Aaron Gordon 60% from 3 Jeff Green 80% from 3 Yoko is 50% from 3 will Barton 100% from 3 Monty Moore is 100% from 3 bones highland 60% from 3 on 10 attempts. Oh my god Devon read Devon read 75% from 3 He had 23 uh threes as a team But russ did not turn the ball over I think they're having the twitter spaces right now um about The Lakers and I need to tune in because I think I think that russia westwick's brother is in this again. Yeah, I got a tune in ladies and gentlemen If you enjoyed the video leave it a like thank you so much for watching
