 What's the word y'all NBA playing starts tonight and I cannot be more excited about it But I feel like this is the perfect time to put my little bow on the NBA regular season And we're gonna be talking about the rest of the awards. We were supposed to do NBA award week I fumbled that bag, but we did already talk about rookie of the year defensive player of the year coach of the year So we're gonna talk about the rest of this MVP six-man of the year Tyler here by the way MVP six-man of the year most proof player maybe executive of the year if I feel nice and then the all NBA teams this is the final one so so lucky and ladies and gentlemen I do want to remind people that I'm just a guy with a microphone that watches some basketball and in a year like this There's so many different options. So you might disagree with who my winners are that's completely okay So many people have valid valid reasons to be in conversations and I want to reiterate. This is not a prediction video I'm not predicting who will win these awards, but if I had a ballot, these are the people that I would vote for Are we ready? Don't tweet at me if you disagree, bro. Don't don't do you're gonna do it any? Okay, I think we start a six-minute a year because we all are going to go with Tyler hero Even though actually that's not true I have been hearing some people not go Tyler hero because they're they're standing on the hill and though I don't agree with the take I respect people standing on this here Some people believe that Tyler hero should not win six-minute a year because you play like 33 minutes per game Which is a lot of minutes obviously for somebody that's coming off the bench But like this is not the first time that's happened Lou Williams is putting up 30 minutes per game Jamal Crawford's putting up like 30 minutes per game. This is not something like necessarily new You know, but I have been seeing people say that a that's way two minutes Too many minutes for me to consider him a six man and right now in real life The only thing you really need to be classified as a six man is to come off the bench for 51% of your games and you have to have a threshold basically But either way in my opinion Tyler hero still the six man of the year But I do want to show some love to to Kevin Kevin Kevin love. Yeah, you see that Kevin love and Cam John took his both did amazing things on on winning teams this season and Less amount of minutes, but you saw their impact any time they came onto the floor I mean just yesterday. I know it was a game that didn't really matter Smank have a love at 30 points and 15 minutes like that's something I guess he didn't do it regularly But he had the impact especially we consider last year He was throwing tip of tantrums and he was going through some things and to kind of see a rejuvenation and not just his play On the court, but it's overall morale was great to see and Cam John Johnson is a guy that if I didn't already have two four six seven most improved player candidates in legit I have seven names for most improved player right here If I didn't have just seven Kim Johnson will be maybe eight on my list So shout out to Cam for being like the oldest man drafted of all time and people are laughing at the fact that he was The oldest man drafted of all time and he shut some people up and he's a very important part to a championship quality team So that's that let's get to most improved player next like I said I have seven legit seven different candidates and you know what I'm going against a grain throughout NBA history There's only been a few players who have won six man of the year I'm sorry most improved player while being a year two player because the argument against that is that Kenny He's just getting off his rookie season Of course, he's gonna be better in year number two and I always hear that and I don't agree, bro We see players not take a jump in year number two It actually I would say more likely than not people are not taking a big jump in year number two So personally if I had a pic I'm going to give my most improved player to your year two guy this season Specifically it's gonna be different for every year, but let me count you or let me read you the seven names Legit seven names that were in consideration for the winner of this award Jamarant if you remember at the beginning of the season I made a prediction video me predicting all of the major NBA awards and in that video I predicted that Jamarant was going to a most improved player I didn't hit on anything else really but Jamarant is at least in the conversation So I'll take that as a W basically what I did is I looked throughout history Who is a player or what is the pattern when it comes to most improved player and what I saw was? Really good slash borderline all-star player jumps into either super stardom or jumps into all stardom And I just looked at the people that went outside looking in on the all-star game last season saw Jamarant Knew that he was a stud so I was like ah he gonna win most improved player And I wouldn't be surprised if he did win the award, but I think that you know with him missing 23 or so games I think that more people I think it was Draymond Green actually that said that Jamarant is not a most improved player Candidate he's an MVP candidate. You know I'm saying he did more than just get better But I think two things can exist like even I think it might have been the first Yannis MVP year It was real consideration for Yannis to be most improved player, you know But Jamarant is on my top seven, but he did not end up getting number one number two when it comes to most Most improved player for me was there is garland This is no order, but these are just seven players there is garland And I know the numbers don't look super crazy when you look at his year two year versus year three year But if you watch series gone the year two you saw some flash you saw he was gonna be solid But in year number three He turned into a legit one of the best floor generals in the entire NBA And I got to show him love even though he only jumped up like five points per game or something like that The next guy is going to be Jordan pool who went from I don't even know how many points per game But this year feels like he's averaging 20. He is another splash brother now Of course, he ain't been there since clay and Steph Curry, but I think he's a he's a splash nephew You know I'm saying slash son. No, that's that's not that much of it Regardless Jordan pool has been really really good this season coming off a year where he was getting PT for sure But he solidified himself as one of the staples in his team that is trying to win the championship He will not get no DMPs actually They're relying on him to have really good moments as playoffs if they want to go on a championship run The next guy's mouse bridges now mouse bridges kind of fell off if that's the words you want to use Very early on it felt like he might have been the run away because he started off average You're like 25 points per game But then he cooled off that three-point shot that was fouled in the first couple months of the season kind of fell off as Well, but he still had a complete season in my personal opinion and he should be in top seven The next one is a jaunty murder from 15 points per game to 21 points per game The martyrs and leaves and they're looking for the guy and everybody knew it was going to be the jaunty But we didn't know how much of an improvement he was going to have and he had a huge and huge Approvement the next guy is Desmond Bain. This is a year to do my last two dudes are year to do's Desmond Bain I remember early or in the off season They traded away Grayson Allen and then they traded away Jonas Valentunas and a lot of people were trying to question Where some extra points were gonna go and I remember watching summer league and seeing that they were given Desmond Bain So the ball to be the point guard at summer league and in summer league I was extremely impressed with everything I saw but my philosophy has changed at the beginning of the season I probably would have put Desmond Bain in my most improved player conversation Actually, if you watch my podcast when we were doing predictions I predicted that Desmond Bain was gonna take a huge leap, but I think after that I said, but he's year two So we ain't gonna win most improved player. I think that's still true I don't think Desmond Bain is gonna win most improved player with spoiler alert He is my number one and then another guy that is in my top seven is Teres Maxi Another year two dude who took a huge huge jump Desmond Bain went from a guy He's like oh had a heck that he falls to number 30 in this year's draft to whoa I cannot believe that so many opposing GMs look past Desmond Bain because he is an absolute Stud and the runs were Jamerant was out the 21 and 2 or 21 and 3 run whatever it is a lot of that is just Desmond Bain turning it on. I know it's a lot of team stuff, but Desmond Bain was an absolute stud And I no longer subscribed to year two players shouldn't be in conversation for this award I'm giving it to Desmond Bain and if you're wondering who my two or number my three is my two is Jordan Who am I three? I guess I'm going Teres Maxi is my three or Dijonté Murray or Miles Bridges or Darius Garland or Jamerant exactly over the year is not one we're gonna spend a lot of time on it's interesting one I think at the first half of the season everybody was like Instatune it our trueness Carney show our tourist Connie show this there it is But then the Bulls fell off in the second half of the season So maybe he don't get as much love But if you look at the first half of the season boom DeMarco Rosen a sign-in trade boom Lonzo ball signing trade Alice Caruso signing Derek Jones, Jr. Javante green re-signing. He had a IO de sumo draft It was a very good offseason for the Chicago Bulls. And you know what actually I'm still giving it to him Yep, call me a homer all you want the person I had in first place before I just talked myself into it was Pat Riley and Pat Riley them didn't do anything crazy over the offseason other than Getting Kylo Laurie and finding like Kayla Martin to blossom into a role player and Max Drew's to blossom into a role player but I think that Carney show was probably had the Overall better offseason just because he made so many moves and a lot of them worked out well Riley already had a good team that he just added on to I don't really know Are we ready for the big conversation? Are y'all are you ready for the big conversation the MVP? Conversation, of course, it has been narrowed down to Yanis and bead and yokich Those are the top three my number four was Luca Donchich My number five was Devin Booker and my number six was Jason Tatum Those are my top six MVP candidates But it's trying to figure out the order of the top three and throughout the season I've seen and I've watched a lot of basketball and my MVP has changed a ton this year as it should I'd like if I was just going off the first month of the season Steph Curry was Steph Curry would still be my MVP so it changed a bunch this year But as we end I have to you know pick a name and one thing I don't like about NBA discourse It's of course everybody's gonna have their opinion about these top three dudes as far as who deserves to win And again, I'm not saying anybody is wrong if they disagree with my final take I hate the side of Twitter or conversations that is like I got Yanis as my MVP So let me poke all the holes in yokich's case Let me poke all the holes as Joel and Joel and beads case these are three super good and some of them even legendary Ceases like let me let me talk to you how legendary this is Joel and bead won the scoring champ He's the first center to do it since Shaquille O'Neal He is the first international player to ever do it and he is the first center with 30 points per game And under 40 minutes these are all from stat muse by the way that is Legendary 40 in 10 games in a season system merger 13 Joel and bead the most in all time Then you got Russell Westbrook in 2017 you got Moses Malone in 1982 and the last two dudes to do that One MVP points per minute by a center. You got two years by will Chamberlain first of all will Chamberlain I'm not gonna say your stats don't count because they obviously do but the fact that Joel and bead is even in the Conversations with this will Chamberlain fellow this this fable of a player this dude that seems like he is a myth It's crazy Joel and bead in 2020 2021 and then this season Joel and bead most points per minute by a center Then we get to Nicola yokich. He is the first player in NBA history to have 2000 points 1000 rebounds and 500 assists and you can argue that they're arbitrary But still nobody's ever done that damn feat. He's the first to average 25 13 and 6 in a season He's actually averaging more than that by the way It is the first player in the top 10 for points per game rebounds per game assists per game and field goal percentage in the last 50 years he had 2010 plus assists games this year that is the most by a center by 18 of all the MVP candidates He had the most games where he was leading his team in points rebounds and assists with 39 in about half the games this year Nicola yokich led his teams in points rebounds and Assist shout to Luca though. He's not too far behind at 32 But like a half of your games is kind of wild yokich is in the midst of the greatest P er season of all time and he's winning every single advanced stat imaginable when you compare in it across the top three candidates then we get to Yanis the most 30 point 10 Rebound five assists games this season is Yanis at number one and yokich and number two and Yanis is 21 Yokich has 20 and no other person has 12 Here's another arbitrary one, but I like if you've watched this channel for some time, you know I love the good old cherry pick statistic and this is another one There has been three season NBA history where a player averaged 25 points 10 rebounds five assists one steal one block 155% shooting and all three of them are by Yanis like I said, it's arbitrary slash cherry picked But I love those statistics. I love it. Anyway I just wanted to to show the love to the top three candidates because all of them are having amazing seasons But I can only vote for one and and if you ask me right now, who is my MVP? I'm going to say Nicola yokich now if you've been watching for some time. I broke down my own personal criteria I know everybody looks at MVP a little bit differently I broke it down to counting stats advanced stats narrative team success Rememberable moments and team without them is the way I got it written down and not all six of these are weighted the same Some of them are less than others But when I tallied up everything Nicola yokich was my number one and and it's it's Unfortunate for like Joel and B because he's been fighting so damn hard to get that first MVP award I feel for him, but in my personal opinion Nicola yokich's impact by my own criteria Was just a little bit more and it wasn't by a lot it legit was not by a lot I have Joel and B does my number two and Janice is my number three in my race For the people that think that is just the advanced that's thing It is not because I I still believe that though advanced stats are an important part of this game They can be I'm not gonna say manipulated because they can't be manipulated, but they can be oh man Well, I don't even know the word. I'm trying to think of if you look at all of the Defensive advanced stats. They all say Nicola yokich is a better defender than Joel and B and Janice So that's what I mean advanced stats Don't tell you everything you have to of course watch these games though yokich is a for sure improved defender He's not Janice and he's not Joel and B both of those players are in real-life conversations for all defensive teams And one of them is in conversations for defensive player of the year But if you look at the only the advanced stats you would think that Nicola yokich was the greatest defender in the league right now So you you have to use your eye test you have to use statistics You have to use a combination of all of those things and that's what I did and that's how I came up on my final answer Of Nicola yokich, but man if you guys join the beat is your MVP you're not wrong If you got Janice as your MVP you're not wrong, but if you have anybody else other than those top three I'm sorry. I can't I can't really get around how my mind of anybody taking over those top three That's why I ended with Luca and I ended with book and then I ended with Tatum as my rounding out my top six But it has just been those three guys and it's a shame that we're pretty much done watching these dudes dominated regular season Luckily for us we're at least getting four more games if these do at least four more games And it would be a travesty of any of these guys got swept in the first round of playoffs But at the bare minimum we get four more times to watch these dudes play and some of these dudes should be on their way To another deep playoff run only time will tell so now we're gonna transition to my all NBA Teams okay, and if you listened slash watch any Podcasts any writings about all NBA over the last couple years You would know that the NBA decided to allow Yoko to classify as a forward to allow Joel and B to classify as a forward because a They might be the two best players in the league right now the two most valuable players in the league right now So we have to have them are on the a first team, right? Wrong. I this is a hill. I am willing to die on until the NBA decides to make these things positionless And I had the same argument over the all-star break it until they decide to make these things positionless If you want me to put one center, I'm putting one center How many minutes is Yoko's played at power for it? How many minutes isn't being played at power for it close to none 99 98% of their minutes are at center So I'm classifying them as center So yes, one of them is going to be down a team on the second team And you know who it's gonna be because I already told you my MVP is the NBA you got to fix it You got to fix it especially when we're talking about contracts on the line Especially when we're talking about legacies on the line They're gonna be some people that should be in conversations for all NBA teams That won't make the cut because well the position that they play at is Overloaded and there might be a position that got nobody to deserve to be there, but instead that's how you get I'm not trying to bring up old wounds. That's how you get Wiggins to the all-star game That's how you get Wiggins is all-star starter because Wiggins having a good season But there was no other force that deserve to be there even though there are 17 guards that deserve to be there more So yes and beat is on my second team when he deserves to be on the first team But this is not a Joel and beat argument. This is an argument against the NBA. All right cool Now that being said you should know who my own be a first team is because I told you my MVP's I had Luke as a top 6 MVP candidate at Devon Booker as a top 6 MVP candidate at Yannis is a top 3 MVP candidate at Tatum is top 6 I had Yoko just my winner. So that is my first team my second team gets a little bit more interesting We have Steph Curry who um, you know, he went through his own little shooting slump But even the Steph Curry shooting slump is still really damn good It just wasn't greatest shooter of all time good like it had been for the last decade or so But Steph Curry still deserves to be all NBA second team I also have John Moran on the second team as Kevin around on the second team He missed a portion of the season for sure, but I actually and I might be different than some people here I didn't really take it to consideration Games missed that much of them they have played like the 1% you know, but not that much I do remember that the Brooklyn that's where the one C before Kevin went down his injury and then they proceeded to lose 11 straight games and Kevin right as a bucket and He deserves to be on all NBA team my second for it is the Marta Rosen Oh, you thought I was gonna say somebody no the Marta Rosen again the Bulls have been on his tailspin They've been bad for the last month or so two months if you want to call it that But one thing that has been consistent is the Marta Rosen. We had a 50 piece a couple weeks ago We've had three game winning shots And he I'm pretty sure he is a leading scorer when it comes to fourth quarter points And he has closed out so many games for this Bulls team They should not be where they are right now And they would not be where they are right now without the Marta Rosen being great And there was a conversation for bro to be on the first team But the second half of the season of course did what they what it did and he fell down to my second team And like I said earlier Joellen Bede is my third team Center or second team said a second team center second team second team second team We ain't get down to my third team my first two guards in my third team are Trey young and Chris Paul If I'm not mistaken Trey young led the entire league and total points and he led the entire league and assist Which is an amazing amazing feat, but I will say that the reason he's on the third team is that he is a guard And he's going against some of the most elite in the league and he is of course in the elite guard as well But I feel like if he were if this was positionless He might have been able to get up all the way to my second team, but since it's not positionless He's got to settle for third team for today Team success did play somewhat of a role in it Similarly would like having to rent as well right Kevin The rent is on the second team because well his team was was kind of not not that great And ended up being in a play-in and same thing with Trey young my second guard on my third team is Christopher Emmanuel Paul Anytime we refer to him for the first time in the video We say the full name and that today he's just Chris or he's just CP or he's CP3 But he's Christopher Emmanuel Paul once you first say it so shout out to CP3. These are my last people The first one on the last group is LeBron James I know they completely missed the playoffs and he'd actually be the or completely missed the play And he'd be the only player on my list to do such a thing every single well And every single other person here was at least top 10 in their conference But LeBron James average at 30 points and I know he didn't hit the classification to end up being Actually on like the scoring title list But LeBron was still amazing this season man And he did what he could to do what he could but it just wasn't good enough because the team is trashed And he had his moments to he's not he's not completely void of blame here But he still put up an amazing season if you ask me and if you weren't watching the Lakers and watching Bron do what Think you kind of miss it now Of course they weren't good But LeBron's putting up some crazy crazy performances this season my other Ford is Pascal Siak I'm a guy that didn't even really come into some conversations for all all star, but he's been amazing He's one of the main reasons why the the Toronto Raptors went from a team that might be a play-in team to a team That is guaranteed theirself the number five seed He's been really really good And I think somebody was talking I was listening to the no-dunk's podcast and he were talking about someone else's tweet about him having the most Ethical 30-point games basically not saying that he don't really foul bait and stuff like that It's just bucket after bucket after bucket whether it be a spin move whether be putting you on the block Whether it be a corner three rather be a pull-up Pascal Siakum's bag is a lot deeper than a lot of people give him credit for South to Pascal And then my third team center is Carl Anthony Towns and that is my list and I know there's gonna be some Miami He fans like Kenny we are the number one team in the Easter conference, and you trying to tell me we don't have an all NBA player Yep That's just the way it goes. It's only 15 spots. It's only 15 spots You know I'm saying and I I don't know who I'm taking off my list in order to put Jimmy Or I'm not taking off my top three centers to put BAM even though BAM might be the defensive player of the year Who who else I feel like is gonna complain I think everybody's gonna complain because opinion not like mine so must be wrong You know that's how the internet works our jazz fans gonna be upset that I didn't put down of a Mitchell We go beard on the team Maybe maybe but I feel like I covered base on Basically every team that deserved to have a player or every superstar to deserve to be that feel like I covered base there So there it is man. Those are the finals of my awards Hopefully you enjoyed even if you disagreed. Hopefully I gave you some entertaining takes and things like that I'm just happy that we got to the point where like every single ward is up in the air, right? The league is so so damn talented that there's so many different options MVP rookie of the year defensive player of the year most improved player and even you get boiled down a coach of the year are All up for grabs right now and there and there's like 30 people that if they won those awards I would be like, okay, cool I can't say that somebody was snubbed or robbed of an award as long as you got Scotty mobler Katie your top three if one of them wins nobody nobody was Was messed up as long as you got yo gets in beat and Yanis Nobody was snubbed at the award. Nobody was robbed of those awards defense player here It's like eight people die. Okay, close to the year I do think that money deserves it, but I understand the argument for Taylor Jenkins 100% You know I'm saying so there won't be robberies in my personal opinion and I trust the I trust 77% of the voters to get it right Right, whatever that means if you enjoyed the video leave it a like
