Your you're listening to the Hottest, the Hottest. It'd be a podcast out here. I said what I said, it's the heat check check. Let's move on, Let's get out the Hemi Award. He is I, and I am him, slim gym with the smoking rim, he's him. I just made that up. Guys. The Hemi Award goes to hold up. Let's talk about the nominees. Could go to j honest, fifty four and thirty six minutes, absolutely unstoppable, vintage Gianni's performance when no one was out there. No Dame Dame
has a cash strain. Brooke Middleton is not a real person, but they could be Chris Middleton. Chris Middleton was okay, I think you had sixteen seventeen points. Brook Lopez was on a milk carton. They showed how many flaws they have as a squad. But you honest, he was doing his very best to beat the Indiana Pacers. And you know what, we can't give him the hemy Award because
they fucking lost. It would have been bad culture at its finest to give the Hemi Award to Yannisanta, to Koupo, because you cannot be the Milwaukee Bucks as a contender, supposedly the number one team in the East, YadA, YadA, YadA, and then lose to the Indiana Pacers and allow Ben Matherin and Tyreese Halliburton to put fifty on your head combined. Hell no, you cannot allow that the Hemi Award could
go to RJ. Barrett. Though New York Nick really stepping up his game three wins in the performances in his three last games where he went crazy. Last three games, He's had twenty four points, twenty four points, and twenty six points all of those games. The Knicks one fifty three percent shooting fifty eight percent from three and ninety two percent from the free throw line during that span.
Sixty percent from three, boy is insane, especially considering r J. Barrett was known to be an absolute brick machine from three. That was something that he needed to clean up even when he was at duke sixty percent. Disgusting. Steph Curry is not a sixty percent three point shooter. I know it's a small sample size, but it's a small sample size award. Hemi Award goes to a week long span
of production. He also scored his five thousandth point as a nick that is a milestone worth mentioning as well. But instead we will give the Hemi Award to a man who is largely overlooked because of the team that he plays for, a team that's so bad they can't even beat the Washington Wizards either time. They played him twice last week. They've gotten blown out the last three nights.
And you might say, Trista, it's you're giving the Hemie Award out to somebody who's in the bad culture, losing efforts, putting up empty stats. No, the Charlotte Hornets are not good because they're not good. Okay, like they have a roster full of guys that don't make no damn sense. But the Hemmi Award must go to LaMelo Ball. Charlotte needs to help this man out. LaMelo is doing the Lord's work out there, top five in the NBA and potential assists, but guess what, but guess what, but guess what.
His teammates can't make a bit. Doesn't matter if he gets to him underneath the basket or an open corner three. They're just not making any sixteen potential assists a game, LaMelo Ball over his last four games, thirty points, six point eight rebounds per game, eight point zero assists per game, almost one and a half steals, forty six percent from three, fifty five percent from the field, eighty one percent from the free throw line, and in the garden thirty two points,
seven rebounds, six assists, just absolutely killing. He has been doing it in a pretty flashy fashion as well. He locked down Tyreese Halliburton with the game on the line. He forced a turnover without Hollie even getting a shot off the flare, the sholanship. Nobody really talks about that quite enough. Someone say this man, because he's probably not gonna be appreciated until he gets at least a legit
squad around him. But let's be honest, he's probably gonna ask for a trade and go somewhere else, which he deserves. He is in his right to do so. He's been one of the very few bright spots on a team that has been enveloped in darkness, like it is a planet that has been shut off by Captain Marvel herself. The Himmy Award goes to LaMelo Ball. Congratulations to LaMelo Ball. He is I and I am him Flashy with the
rim to the brim I forgive how it went. Don't be surprised if he gets back to the Hemmie Award. Sometimes doesn't either,
