 What's the word y'all? The 2021-2022 NBA season is a wrap. Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to the Golden State Warriors on getting their fourth championship in eight years. Fourth championship in eight years, just crazy. Even say a loud shout out to them, a real dinosaur if you ask me. Before we talk about that game in a series, I want to ask you, because I'm very curious about this, because me and the homies, you know, we watched these games together and we were trying to figure out ourselves. If we were to rate this NBA season from one to 10, 10 being this was the greatest season I've ever experienced as a fan, versus one being like this season was trashed. Where would you put it? I'm not going to tell you where I think to shed, because I don't want to skew any of the votes, but let me know in the comment section one through 10. So yeah, the season's wrapped up. This season I had a couple goals going into this year. I wanted to upload on this channel more than any of the previous seasons, and I think we did that. And I wanted to have a million subscribers over here. We did that. So I want to say thank you to y'all, whether you subscribed yesterday, or you've been around here for this journey, for the last three seasons, I appreciate you. Me saying it loud, make it seem like I'm at the high eight, so I'll break, but I'm not, because the NBA draft is a couple nights away, ladies and gentlemen. So off season stuff will get it ramped up, but I actually got a series idea that I've been working on, and I'm hopefully it's going to be successful, you know what I'm saying in this off season. Either way, let's talk about the gold and stay Warriors winning their championship after I give my respect to the Boston Celtics, starting off 23 and 24 to even get to the finals is a crazy run in itself. I'm already knowing how this off season is about to go as far as narratives go, or as far as NBA opinions go. If you just look at last series and go through NBA Twitter, and you go through talking here, TV shows, a lot of people said, hey, Tatum is him. Tatum is the dude. I think he number, he top 10 in the NBA right now, and then we get to the NBA finals, and he was, he had a poor series by his standards. And I think because of that, it's completely flipped on his head from just one series where he was great. He had a couple games where he was elite, elite, and then we get to the NBA finals. We never got a single Jason Tatum game. And I think that that's about to change the opinions and narratives about Jason Tatum, because this is the biggest stage you can imagine to be on. And there's NBA players, people in history that never even get to this spot. So he got here, and he didn't play well. Now I'm a firm believer of like, he's only 24 years old. I know, I know, maybe a cop out in this, but he's only 24 years old. And it is what it is. I'm not about to sit here after game six, where it seems he's lost the finals and bashed the kid because he had a struggle of a series. I'm not gonna do that, but I only speak for myself. I think it's gonna happen. This is about to be a long off season for Jason Tatum. Bro might not even hit social media. You feel me? I'm already seeing the different edits. The game just ended. Steph Curry just got his MVP award. So it is just ended. I'm already seeing the edits of like, it's one where it says not him in the back. And this is number zero. And it's Jason Tatum. I'm seeing the pseudo Texas to Kobe stuff. Like, I understand memes. I think it goes for either way. Jason Tatum did not give them a good performance. I even saw Kevin O'Connor tweet that Jason Tatum was like a number two in this series. And I can't even say Kevin O'Connor is tripping. He did not seem like one. Jalen Brown for this series was one. But what I will say is there's a lot of things that are replicable for the boss of Celtics. Now getting to the NBA finals is extremely, extremely hard. So I'm not, I'm not gonna be one of the dudes to be like, they gonna be back because I don't really know. But they do have pieces like Marcus Smart will be there. Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, I'm assuming are both gonna be there. Robert Williams was great this entire series. He was amazing. And hopefully he could be healthy for a series. You know what I'm saying? So they have pieces, they'll be fine. But let's go to the other side. The team that actually won were Dale Stephan Curry. There's nothing left on his resume that he needs to do. You feel me? For the last couple of seasons, it was, well, he ain't got a finals MVP. So he can't be leaving me to move. Even on the first championship, I think majority of us are gonna agree he should have got that finals MVP over Iggy, whatever. He did it. And this year in 2022, he went against the best defense in all the basketball. Even though in this series, it didn't really look like it because of the way they guarded him. He went against the best defense in all the basketball and gave him hell for five out of six games. He had the one stinker. And the only thing that was stinky about it is he missed every three. His like two point shooting in game number five was like nine of 13 or something. So he didn't even have like a terrible game. And that was his, his, it's done of a game. You know, there's nothing else he needs to prove. And I'm so very curious to what's gonna be, that's gonna come up because, well, you know how it works. You can never be good enough in the eyes of a lot of people. Bro has won two MVPs. One of them being the first unanimous MVP in history. I know it's kind of skewed because like, LeBron should have hit at least one unanimous with that one writer gave it to Carmelo Anthony. There are a couple people in history that were undoubtedly the best player in their season. They should have got unanimous. But Steph Curry was the first one to legitimately get it. And now he's got four championships and a finals MVP. It's it, that's raps. There's nothing else anybody can say negatively about Steph Curry's game, at least in this moment. Somebody gonna make up something you already know. Either way, listen, I'm a sucker for tears, man. I'm soft on the inside, you feel me? When a team is on the brink of success or championship and like with Steph Curry broke down, I almost broke down. I'm not even a fan. You feel me? Like I like Steph Curry, obviously. But I'm not a Warriors fan. I wasn't rooting for them to win. But when he got all emotional, so did I. Even last year, when Yana sat on the bench and he was getting emotional, I got emotional. When the Lakers were jumping on the sad lines after the bubble win, I gotta listen. Anybody that go out there and show emotion, I reflect that emotion. You feel me? I was happy for Steph. I was happy for Yana's. And I was happy for the Lakers in that moment. But man, oh man, oh man, I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't see this coming. If you look at my previews of this NBA season, don't believe in, again, I'm a guy that admits when he's wrong. That's, first of all, everybody should be like that. I don't, I shouldn't have to preface it to make it seem like I'm some good dude because I admit when I'm wrong. That should be the standard. But if you look at like my previews, the Warriors was so hard for me to predict. Now, I'm seeing some screenshots of people having to Warriors being a sub 500 team. I think that was the athletic. I wasn't going that far. But we did an episode of our podcast through the Wire podcast. We just said 100K. Thank y'all. Where we were trying to predict the NBA standings before the season started. And I don't think I had the Warriors being like a super, super good team because I didn't really know what to expect from Clay Thompson. I didn't predict that Jordan Poole was going to go from a G League player to one of the better and more fun young players in all of basketball. So even I underestimated them. But as the season went on and I was seeing who their opponents were every single time I said Warriors in six got, got, it happened. Warriors in six. And a lot of the stuff that I said in my preview came to be true about the turnover battle being huge. I think the team that won the turnover battle won every single game this series. That was the thing. The Warriors, I'm sorry. The, the Boston Celtics going on these streaks where they cannot score the ball. That happened time in and time out. Even in this game, they started off so very hot. The Warriors struggled out the gate. Then the Warriors won in this crazy run where the Celtics could not buy a basket. And then the Warriors went on their own little drought. And I'm like, Boston, this is y'all chance. And they slowly peek back in. Oh, it got to eight points. It got to nine points. But they were never, ever, ever to get, able to get all the way back into this game. So a lot of the stuff that we thought were going to happen happened. And I think I said in my preview that we're going to get one, at least one bad Jason Tatum game. We didn't get one really good Jason Tatum game. And I was surprised by that. You know, and obviously if you're a star player, your R&B first team player doesn't give you an R&B first team type of performance, that your chances of winning the series is low. I've seen people have this conversation about Steph Curry of him being a front runner where he only talks to the crowd or do his dances and shimmies or points of the ring when his team is up. You can have that. I don't think that's really necessarily the case. But one person you cannot have that opinion about is Draymond Green. Before the season started, Draymond Green told the world we are winning the championship. When he was struggling early in this series, he told people on his podcast, you're going to get this podcast. You're going to get this podcast and we're still going to win. When Season McCullum called him and told him, hey, I got the Celtics winning the series. He said, hey, I'm sending them home and they're going to be ringless just like you. And he did his thing. The last two games, Draymond Green was phenomenal. And me and the guys watched his game together. You know we're always in the call. It's me, Mike, Derek, Terence, Pierre, and Kyra. When Draymond Green hit his first three, we were like, it's wraps. It's wraps. That's it's wraps. You feel me? If Draymond Green is hitting three, he hit another one. I'm like, I send on the cake. Draymond Green had a possession where the Celtics were on a run and Draymond Green hit a mid-range jump shot. It was wraps. He ended up with 12 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists. I mean, after everybody was talking trash, after his mom was even talking trash about him, two back-to-back masterclass in the Draymond Green fashion. If you didn't think he was in Hall of Fame before, I mean, another championship cements him in that. I mean, he was a Hall of Fame before this, but another championship cements him in that. And this big three, this core of Clay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond Green get their fourth championship. And I tweeted, Draymond was right. And I left it up to interpretation. Some people saw it as me talking about him predicting they were going to win the finals beforehand. Some people saw it when I thought I was talking about when he was talking to CJ. I was talking about all of that, including the mix up of Kevin Durant. We won before you and we can win without you. And I don't want to make this a Kevin Durant situation because it's not, and I'm not one that subscribes to all of those takes that I keep seeing people say, but they did it. What more can you want? This man, Clay Thompson, cannot lose. He can't miss in the figurative sense because bro was your shucking shots up. He said his game six Clay, they gon' get these shot attempts. He didn't hit him. He didn't hit a lot of them. But for him to be on the IL and injured for two seasons, him to immediately come back and win a championship is amazing. He had only a couple really good games in the series. But either way, his intensity was there. He had a couple of possessions in this game and in the last game where his defense was ramped up from the previous games, where he was doing the old equal dollars, swiping the ball and getting steals and stuff like that. But let's be honest, Steph Curry, as it says, was unanimous pick for the MVP. Shout out to him. Andrew Wiggins was the second best player on the championship team. Wiggs, you know, Wiggs. And I like this interview afterwards. He said, what did you learn about winning once you got here? And one thing he said is that it's an everyday thing. There is no days off. And I guess it hasn't been, you know, Wiggins has blossomed to more than just a guy that you saw and said, hey, he gon' get you a 17, 18 points. And that's it. He did all the dirty work. You needed him to do this entire series. And he was the second best player on this team. Wiseman, Moody, Kamega, champions. Chris Chioza, champion. Watcha Scott awareness ahead is his Mexican flag on him. Champion. And you know what? I even went back, because you know, this is the year of the health and safety protocol where everybody was getting the call. Hey, Joe Johnson, you can still shoot, right? Come to Boston and you score. If they would have won his championship, Joe Johnson would have been enough for a championship ring if you didn't know. And I was looking to see who did the Warriors have. They had to be some type of old-timey player. I don't think I saw anybody. And if they did have somebody, he didn't play a single minute. Because I just looked at minutes played for this team. And they didn't have anybody. Kundari Wetherspoon, NBA champion, G-League and NBA champion. So I just, I admire a lot of the way the Golden State Warriors have been run, had they been able to execute. Steve Kerr continues to show why he's one of the greatest coaches of all time. And I know there's been a lot of, I don't even know what the word I'm thinking about. Just people believe that Steve Kerr is not really coaching. When you have Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, and Drey Montgomery and Kevin Arant, you just roll the balls out and let them go play basketball. But in a series like this, you saw this man coaching. And you can see that that man is extremely talented and extremely bright when it comes to basketball. That's not saying much. Bro's got a bunch of championship as a player. So obviously he understands the game of basketball on a different level. Kevon Looney, he went to the bench, gave them six offensive rebounds tonight. They didn't even realize it was that many. Six of his seven offensive rebounds, oh, rebounds were offensive. Jordan Poole, again, from G-League to NBA champion, six-man-a-deer candidate, most approved player candidate. He did all of those things. And I'm extremely happy for them. Extremely, extremely happy for them. Today for the Boston Celtics, they got no production whatsoever from that bench. And the turnovers were the big thing. Today they ended up with, I didn't even realize it was 22. They forced 15 turnovers to the Warriors, but they gave up 22. Ah, that's rough, man. That's rough. I don't know what the offseason looks like for the Boston Celtics, but like I said, a lot of the core things will be back. And I do believe they have an opportunity to make another run in the near future. But that's why I'm going to wrap it up, man. Let me know in the comment section where you rate this NBA season. And congratulations to the Warriors, man.
