 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real it feels good to say those words man It's been a minute since we've uploaded here, and that's been a few reasons why we were transitioning from The off-season to like now which is like the beginning of regular season So it wasn't really much to talk about and the second thing is that I was transitioning from This channel being a part of a network to be an independent y'all we 100% own this channel now We 100% own this channel y'all don't know what that means if you don't make YouTube videos But that is a big big step and in this channel So I appreciate y'all just holding me down in the last couple weeks I mean I uploaded but now the season about to start in a week or so and things going down like today It is time to get back on the ground on the Kenny for real channel man We have to talk about this super max extension a Yana sign man. What is the number? What it was like? 228.2 million dollars over the next five years, and I think we add the contract the year of the contract They already got this year them basically Yanis got his bag be sure to leave a like when the video subscribe if you are new This is a hub of like me giving takes about the NBA talking about the NBA and we built this community where we don't always agree with each other But we respect each other's opinions. It's like what debates and conversation about a Subjective matters should be like it's not all name called it because we disagree So this is a community you do want to be a part of so subscribe So a couple months ago when the beginning of the off-season started I made a video saying dear Yanis do not sign a super max contract Yeah, because I was a firm believer that if he would assign a super max contract at the beginning of free agency or the earliest He could have got that that took the pressure off of the Milwaukee Bucks front office to make the necessary changes for the team to hit That next step as we know this team has been an amazing Regulacies a team over the last couple years but they hit this wall in a literal sense where teams are building the wall for Yanis and The pieces around him needed to be better Yeah, I just needed to better as well But the pieces around him needed to be better and fit the play style when we got to the playoffs And then they made the first move first move trader for true holiday included Throwing Eric Bledsoe to the Pelicans and then get in giving up I think three first-round picks and two swaps or two swaps and three first-round pick whatever it was It was a lot of draft capital and and as good of a player Eric Bledsoe is because I think that Eric Bledsoe gets the short end of a stick when it Comes to women his name comes up in conversations Eric Bledsoe is a very good NBA player especially for the regular season That's why for me the pelicans are such a harder team to to really look at and say what their years gonna be like because Eric Bledsoe was good enough to help you win regular season games But when you talk about when it's a postseason and teams you start scheming against a guy like Yanis who doesn't have a Jump shot Yanis needed his surrounding four players on the court to be knocked down shooters for that team to be successful and Eric Bledsoe just wasn't that and now they have a guy who drew holiday I wouldn't say Joe Holly's a knocked-down shooter He ain't coming off screens like Clay Thompson, Duncan Robinson But he is a significant upgrade from shooting the ball than Eric Bledsoe That is a W not to mention that he is a significant better defender There was a clip that came out from camp where it was Eric I mean not Eric Bledsoe drew holiday guarding Yanis and Yanis got the bucket because he's two-time MVP But but drew holiday was under the skin and playing a great defense and drew how they has the ability to defend higher than what Eric Bledsoe was and Another thing that drew how they has over eb is the ability to give him the ball and say let's get a bucket drew and now The Milwaukee Bucks have another guy on the roster It's like that because Chris Middleton is like that to an extent as well We're like you can legitimately give him the ball on an isolation situation He can create his own shot or create for others and Eric Bledsoe didn't really bring that But I was telling Yanis in that video that like I want you to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks because it would have been a travesty if Yanis left the Milwaukee Bucks to go to a team in California to go to the Miami heat to go to one of these big market teams because at the end of the day It seems like something we've seen so many times throughout history and this was like maybe This could this could really save a lot of small market teams the fact that Yanis resigned honestly Honestly because if he would have went out to all these other teams or the big markets It would have been detrimental to the rest of the smaller market teams around the league This gives hope for the smaller teams like okC okC is a smaller marketing that has a thousand picks where they can hit on a draft Get a potential MVP and be confident enough that if we do our art we play our cards right We could potentially keep him just because Yanis was able to do that and what would make it better for the league For the smaller market teams is if Yanis in the Milwaukee Bucks end up winning the championship Now I don't know if that's gonna happen in the next five years I'm already seeing people my mentions the news just broke like three minutes ago And I'm already seeing people my mentions saying ale wasting his career things like that And then I look at the profile picture and it's a Miami heat picture I'm like, yeah, you saying that because you wanted him on the team, you know at the end of the day I'm just so happy that another small market one of the few small market teams were able to to get their star player and Keep him for a long term five-year Supermax contract I mean again, it's not set in stone because we've seen people sign extensions in a year or two into their extension They're like, okay, I won out but Yanis don't take me for that time You know you take take a look at where he started from in Greece So you hear a story about him all of his brothers and his parents living in a one-bear room And you gotta think about these are like big kids, you know I'm saying these dudes turned out to be seven feet tall So these big old kids live in the one-bear room or a studio apartment He comes from very humble beginnings and for a team like the Milwaukee Bucks to take him when not a lot of people had him on A radar other than I guess the Bucks and Maasai because there is a video that surface of Maasai in the war room on Draft night trying to straight up for Yanis. Can you imagine that? But for them to take a shot on him give him the keys early in this career and allow him to develop it to the player That is I'm sure that means a lot to him That I'm sure that means a lot to him and that's why he signed his extension. So now that all of this is done I'm really excited about Bucks basketball in their offices And again, we talked about the drill holiday trade and how that makes it better But we think about Yanis not signing an extension keeping that foot on the neck They were this close to pulling off a Bogdanovist trade And I don't think you do both of those deals without really knowing that Yeah, this is what Yanis wants. You know, if it were for Bogdan is like I got different plans I'm going to Atlanta. This team would be in a very very amazing spot I expect this team to be of course in contention again because they have been in the last couple years But be better this year than they were last year and I hope This is my big hope is that this team comes to the realization that though the regular season matters It doesn't at the same extent, you know, I'm saying like like I think that some of the best teams in history the ones that that we talk we're gonna talk about for years and years and years are the ones that I Don't want to say coast because coast has such a negative connotation But ones that realize that okay, we don't need to go a thousand percent in the regular season Let's save something for the playoffs. We talked about the Golden State Warriors that that won championships After the 73 and 9 season Jermaine Green came out said like the next year We were like forget the regular not forget the regular season But we were like it don't matter We're gonna win enough games to make the playoffs and hopefully get ourself home court advantage But we not diving for balls and potentially putting ourself in in a situation where we're going to be banged up once the playoff comes around and I want the bucks to take that the same thing if this team is a Worst regular season team this year I'm not gonna overreact because I would hope that this is a team that's like we're ready to win a championship We've been the number one seed. We've had the number one defense and now let's focus on this chemistry stuff Let's focus on these schemes that will help us win a championship because at the end of the day We know the recipe to guard Yanis at this point Now hopefully with him having the surrounded piece around him He can elevate his play and his teammates play will be elevated to to get over that wall like the literal wall that teams built around him Or to to prevent him from scoring Yanis is such a dominant NBA player and I feel like people forget that Because of some of the playoff walls like even when I watched the preseason the other day just the his ability to just barrel his way to the rim is is Have not been seen very very often throughout the history of this league LeBron was able to do it when he was very young Shaq was able to do it But like those type of players are very very hard to come across so even when I talk about their bench Right, they made some some changes. They brought in DJ Augustine This is a team that one of the reasons why they were so good of the past couple seasons Is because of that bench mob that they put together where when Yanis was off the court The team was still able to hold their own and not a lot of teams in the league can say that usually the bench players Are significantly worse than what the starters were able to do But the Bucks have able been able to build the bench mob and and they had to reformulate that after all these trades and things But bringing in a guy like DJ Augustine DJ Augustine is a big-time player I don't care what anybody says when the moment is when his number is called for the moment He'll be able to do that and him to come off your bench is good You remember that Raptors series game one man was in his aunt ones and given a Raptors work And I know that was two years ago But still he can he can still do something like that and Bobby Portis and a small sample of Bobby Portis It's all you need for him to be good as long as Bobby Portis not out here getting 20 plus minutes a game He's a good signing if you could get 10 15 minutes of Bobby Pete You're good and then they also get more wing defense when they brought in Tory Craig So I really like what this team is doing and I'm so happy for Yanis I was seeing people also my mentor saying they're like if he didn't sign a Supermax contract The wrapped I mean not the Raptors with the Bucks may have had to relocate I don't know if I want to go that far into it But him signing does mean a lot for the team and it means a lot for the league that I mean I bet Adam Silver is super happy right now. I just bet he I bet he's super happy to see him staying I mean and though it would probably be cool for the league to see another juggernaut team get built of Yanis left And went to another team. I like parody and as good as the Milwaukee Bucks is Them resigning Yanis doesn't put them at the top of the you know top of the totem pole I think this is a year that's going to be open and that's exactly what we look for every single year as a fan I let me know what you think about the Yanis Supermax contract I feel like I'm forgetting stuff to talk about but at the end of the day Yanis is there to stay for this foreseeable future And I think we should all be happy about that unless you had eyes on him signing with your team in free agency
