The start of the NBA Season is right around the corner! And with my recent video of myself giving a Hot Take and Prediction for EVERY NBA TEAM. I think it is time to give my subscribers the opportunity to give me their own Hot Takes and give my opinion on their takes. This ranges from the true effectiveness of the Giannis and Dame duo in Milwaukee, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander becoming the NBA's 2024 MVP, a bold prediction of the Boston Celtics missing the playoffs, and the trio of the Phoenix Suns in Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker being OVERRATED! Chapters: 0:00 - 1:06 Intro 1:06 - 4:04 Boston Celtics miss the Playoffs 4:04 - 6:47 Denver Nuggets fall off standings 6:47 - 9:14 Brandon Millers wins ROTY 9:14 - 11:49 Memphis Grizzlies miss playoffs 11:49 - 14:42 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins MVP 14:42 - 17:25 Ben Simmons wins MIP 17:25 - 19:36 Phoenix Suns will be Overrated 19:36 - 23:16 Milwaukee Bucks are not the best team in the NBA 23:16 - 25:56 New York Knicks make the Eastern Conference Finals Follow Me On: Instgram: https://www.instagram.com/_alvini_/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Alvini_Linguine Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/alvini_linguine All Links: https://linktr.ee/Alvini_Linguine Twitch Highlights Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dLmvxpe_GaykSEoLQCTLw Want to get these hands: PSN: Alvini_Linguine Join My Discord/Lets Talk: https://discord.gg/MtEaan9

With the entire Damian Lillard trade saga officially being done and Damian Lillard officially being a Milwaukee Buck the air can offically be cleared about Damian Lillard going to Miami and teaming up with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. However, throughout this entire Trade Saga there has been many debates about how Damian Lillard was treated and whether he should've been a Miami Heat or if the Portland Trailblazers should’ve treated him better. In this video I want to go over the Two sided debate of the Damian Lillard Trade Saga!

October 24th, the first day of the NBA Season. When that day comes around we will be introduced to many new teams, narratives, and my boredom from the offseason will officially be gone as all 30 teams come back to go after the Larry O'Brian Trophy. But anyways to celebrate the 2024 NBA Season being close to arriving, I think I should share with you my viewers my Hot Takes for every team for the 2024 Season. Whether that's my thoughts on Victor Wembanyama's rookie season. The duo of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo for the Milwaukee Bucks. Jrue Holiday on the Boston Celtics. The fate of Chris Paul on the Warriors. And of course talking about every other team under the sun!

Noah Lyles made the quote of the Summer asking how can the NBA can call themselves world champions when they aren’t the world and that take continues to age so well as the United States for the 2nd straight time don’t receive a medal in the Fiba World Cup losing to Lithuiana, Germany in the Semi Finals, and Canada in the 3rd place game. But what is the deal? We can’t get our very best to represent the US more and more, the people we send are far inferior compared to what we could, and the space between the international talent and the US’s talent continues to get smaller and smaller. But what are your thoughts on this entire Fiba experience, Noah’s quote, and our chances of winning Gold in the Summer Olympics next year?! #nba #basketball Follow Me On: Instgram: https://www.instagram.com/_alvini_/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Alvini_Linguine Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/alvini_linguine All Links: https://linktr.ee/Alvini_Linguine Twitch Highlights Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dLmvxpe_GaykSEoLQCTLw Want to get these hands: PSN: Alvini_Linguine Join My Discord/Lets Talk: https://discord.gg/MtEaan9

James Harden has put the biggest target on his back from the likes of the NBA for his actions against Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers and once again showing one of the many disadvantages of the player empowerment movement. But we’re not here to talk about that right now. With the current drama of James Harden trying to have his cake and eat it too with an incoming 30 million dollar player option and trying to get traded at the same time to garner another max deal the year after, we have to talk about something and go back in time. On this video I want to go over every instance of James Harden having drama on in his career and potentially every mistake he has made on that route, because the list is endless. Whether ruining relationships with players and driving them out of town, forcing himself out of teams, creating beef with staff, the whole nine yards.

Kobe Bean Bryant, highly regarded by everyone one of the closest players to Michael Jordan that we’ve ever seen. Throughout all of his times in the NBA playoffs and his 5 NBA Championships, Kobe Bryant has had plenty of great rivalries in the playoffs that created a lot of great narratives, All Time Moments, and much more. So why not celebrate Kobe Bryant day, August 24th, to look back at 5 of Kobe Bryant’s biggest playoff rivals, and put them on a Tier list to see which one of these 5 teams created either the hardest time for Kobe, created the best moments, and see who could even dare rival one of the best players of All Time on a year to year basis in the playoffs.

The NBA Summer League, a place where many players come together to show off their skills for a chance to make it to the NBA, the NBA GLeague, or to just further their career in basketball in general through sheer exposure. But one of the titles every player tries to go after in that short but active Summer League trial is the Summer League MVP! And with Cam Whitmore winning it last week and being the 20th pick of his draft class, it is quite safe to say that he will get a guaranteed contract with the Houston Rockets and continue to develop into a real NBA player. But what about the ones that came before him? What about the other MVPs of the Summer League? Well on today’s video we’ll go over what happened to the Last 5 Summer League MVP’s, see how their careers are turning out, and just see what type of impact is received from winning an award that not many people think about!

The NBA Basketball, for years the sponsor for the basketball in the NBA has been and has mostly been the Wilson and Spalding Brand. The signature smooth and light brown leather ball has been a staple of the NBA since its inception and has been the ball kids, teens, and college athletes play with to emulate the pros in every way possible. But recently in the 2023 NBA Slam Dunk contest as Wilson unveiled their new airless basketball prototype for Houston Rocket Forward Kenyon Martin Jr to use, the world was shown the potential future of the NBA with a airless basketball, with holes, and a sleek futuristic design. But what if I told you that this ball could actually have more negatives for the future of Basketball and the NBA if it becomes the future basketball of the NBA? This is the Ugly Truth of the NBA’s New Basketball, and we’ll be going over the immediate effects on the NBA becoming the official ball, how it will change the overall landscape of basketball itself, and overall why the NBA should not make such a steep change to the sport we all know and love.

NBA Busts, that word gets thrown around all the time to draft picks of past classes for many reasons. Injuries taking over their career that hindered their development, never being able to find your footing in the league, being drafted too high in hindsight and having unbelievable expectations being thrusted upon you. Among many many others. But as we’ve ended the 76 NBA Season, I think it’s time to look over 7 of some of the most infamous and weirdest highly touted recent draft picks, see why they became busts, and rank them on a tier list to see just who is the worst of the worst of the NBA Draft Busts.

Nikola Jokic is having one of the most dominant playoff runs of all time, and no one is talking about it. So far already he has broken Wilt Chamberlain's Triple Double Playoff Record. Scored the 7th most points in a playoff game. Currently averaging a triple double in the NBA Playoffs. And is now the only Center ever to get 500 points and 100 assists in a playoff run. But people don't care because of Nikola Jokic's route to the Finals beating a 7th seed in the Conference against Lebron James and the Lakers and now in the NBA Finals facing Jimmy Butler and the 8th seeded Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat have officially made history in the NBA being the 2nd ever 8th seed to EVER make it to the NBA Finals! And what a road to doing so beating Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in 5 games, beating the New York Knicks, and finally beating Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in a epic game 7 thriller. But now we have to see them go against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets to potentially be the first ever 8th seed to wn the NBA Finals. But if they win, would they have the hardest road to a NBA Championship?

The San Antonio Spurs have officially won the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery and won the prize of being able to draft Victor Wembanyama who has become one of the most hyped prospects of all time!

The NBA has officially released their 2023 All-NBA Teams. But the teams voted by media members are the weirdest they have ever been. From Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Damian Lillard making it despite their records. The constant uncertainty of what it means to be a All NBA Player because of it, and the people who deserved to be in the ranks more than others like a James Harden, Ja Morant, or even a Devin Booker. Obviously everyone has their opinion on the matter, so what's yours?

The 2023 NBA MVP Debate has come with alot of weird narratives in the mainstream media. But what Kendrick Perkins said on First Take at one point RUINED the 2023 NBA MVP Debate by claiming that NBA Media voters were moving the goal post for Nikola Jokic and doing so to take away the award to who he found worthy, Joel Embiid!

Nikola Jokic, from being drafted during a Taco Bell commercial, to being a 2x NBA MVP in the last 2 years and a top 5 player in the NBA. But as we know from past greats in this current age like a Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, whoever you want to name, once you make it to the top everything about you will be micro analyzed to make you seem more overrated then people make you out to be. And that can be the most true this year with Nikola Jokic threatening to become the first player to ever achieve a 3 peat MVP since Larry Bird in the 80s. But in the case of Nikola Jokic his case for a 3rd straight MVP is as strong as it can be, 50 win season and on top of the West and near triple double averages and efficiency only rivaled by Wilt Chamberlain. For the majority of the season he was clear ahead the leading MVP candidate, however, for the last few months of the season the NBA media has seemed the change the narrative over and over again to support someone else winning the MVP, and it has been done in the weirdest ways possible. Not to the point of Slander, but just very very weird instances of reaching for the sake of discrediting greatness. So in today’s video, what I want to do is go over every major instance of the NBA media’s witch hunt to take away Nikola Jokic’s 3rd straight MVP by season's end and how they propped up Joel Embiid's case in the process. Chapters: 0:00 - 2:02 Intro 2:02 - 21:07 Jokic's Mainstream Media Witch Hunt 21:07 - 25:38 Jokic's Stat Witch Hunt 25:38 - 35:55 Joel Embiid and Recency Bias in the Media 35:55 - 37:58 Conclusion Follow Me On: Instgram: https://www.instagram.com/_alvini_/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Alvini_Linguine Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/alvini_linguine All Links: https://linktr.ee/Alvini_Linguine Twitch Highlights Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dLmvxpe_GaykSEoLQCTLw Want to get these hands: PSN: Alvini_Linguine Join My Discord/Lets Talk: https://discord.gg/MtEaan9

May 5th 2006, the Sacramento Kings just lost their 4th and final game to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2006 NBA Playoffs. With their team already in the decline trading away their aging All Star Chris Webber the season before, moving on with a new coach, and dealing with a Aging Core. The Sacramento Kings would’ve thought this was a simple bump in the road to fix over a span of a few years. However, after losing in that year's NBA playoffs would start the longest streak of not making the NBA Playoffs for the Kings being 16 years and having many on top of MANY blunders towards that route. I think it’s time to finally go back in time and talk about the longest streak of never making the playoffs in NBA History and seeing just how this happened. The Sacramento Kings are sitting comfortably with a top 3 seed in this year's standings and completed one of the best 1 season turnarounds in NBA History through the Coaching of Mike Brown and a very key trade that came as controversial. But up until that point, the Kings struggled to even win 30 games in a season. 13 coaches in 16 years, only 3 all-stars up until this point, 17 First Round Picks, and so much more to go through. From the Downfall of the Duo of Demarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans, the failed rebuild efforts of Vlade Divac, the many failed draft picks, the drafting of De'Arron Fox, the weird hiring of Luke Walton, and most importantly the weirdest trade at the time for Tyrese Haliburton and Domantas Sabonis.

The #1 Overall pick of the 2004 NBA Draft Class, owner of 3 DPOY titles, 8x NBA All Star and 8x All NBA Member, 5x All Defensive Member, 5x Rebounding Champ, 2x Block Champion, and finally in the twilight of his career a 1x NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers. However after the 2021-22 NBA Season he is currently out of a NBA Job and playing in Taiwan and possibly not getting another NBA Opportunity. Dwight Howard's career has come with alot of questions, why is he out of the NBA? Why isn’t he in the NBA’s Top 75 Players of All Time List and why did he go into a carousel of teams in the 2nd half of his career? Dwight Howard was meant to do way more in his NBA career than he already has done, but after his stint with the Houston Rockets and James Harden that ended with not much merit to him, he went into obscurity for the most part and slowly became less and less relevant as a player. But why? Well that is something we’ll be studying on this video in 3 parts, first his time in Orlando that made him the player he was, the 2nd in what I’ll call his final chances in LA or Houston, and finally the journey across the NBA he had in his 30s where we would truly see Dwight Howard's Fall from Grace.

The Most Valuable Player, or for short, the MVP Award. Throughout NBA History winning this award was your ticket of recognition that proved and showed that you were the best player in that season, and when it comes to the greatest player of all time, it proved their dominance throughout their careers. But now more than ever in this last decade, winning the MVP has more qualifications to win it now more than ever and due to that, recent MVP winners have been more debated on whether they should win it or not, and there have been more and more people deserving of the trophy due to the modern style of basketball. So on today’s video, we are going to rank the last 10 NBA Regular Season’s MVP on a Tierlist, to get to the bottom of who had the best MVP campaigns compared to each other and to see who deserved their more than others, because the MVP will always be a controversial each season, for one reason or another. And with the Historical seasons from Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and the Triple Double Season of Russell Westbrook, there will be plenty to talk about and much to compare and contrast!

Kyrie Irving has had a long and interesting career in the NBA so far! But his Rise and Fall in the NBA has been quite the tale of what is possibly the most polarizing star in the NBA! From leaving Lebron James for his own selfish endeavors, leaving the Celtics after promising to stay, and completing being a huge factor of the break down of the Brooklyn Nets and ruining the trio of himself, James Harden, and Kevin Durant. And now the cherry on top, leaving the Nets due to them not giving him a contract extension to become a Dallas Maverick with Luka Doncic.

In the world of basketball trends come and go that come and change an entire generation of basketball in the United States, sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the bad. But in the 2020’s, one thing I know that reigns supreme is the surge of social media and its effects on the basketball world itself. Recently in a video made by Austin Rivers he mentioned how "Highlight Culture" is ruining the NBA and the sport of basketball due to it's many negative promotions. Whether it is the promotion of bad, flashy, and inefficient basketball, the promotion of anyone can get a mixtape if they pay for it rather than to earn it like he did, or how it is ruining basketball in the NBA because now the NBA is starting to become littered with these people who grew up in that generation who bring zero defense, zero good basketball habits, and zero basketball IQ, and even how European Prospects will soon run the NBA and the World in basketball due to this. This is the subject we'll discuss today with many faces making appearances for their part in the movement like Mikey Williams, Jalen Green, Ja Morant, DJ Wagner, and many more.

The Big 3, throughout NBA History this term has been used pretty ambiguously with all types of 3 man tandems, but one thing we can agree is that whenever that term is thrown out, there are certain expectations that come with becoming a big 3 whether you like it or not. From the trio of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol trying to form a trio to win a championship before Kobe gets too old, to the Brooklyn Nets making one of the best trios of All Time with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. But one of the things they have in common is the failure to produce a championship. So on today's Tier list lets compare and contrast the most disappointing Big 3's in the Modern Day NBA Era!

On July 8th 2010, ESPN ran a one of a kind program on its channel called “The Decision” where Lebron James with an audience of millions over a 75 minute segment watched to see where Lebron James would sign in the offseason. At this date and time, the Player Empowerment Movement would start as Lebron James decided to pave his own future and path as he, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh would all team-up and go after championships together on their own accord. People always claim Lebron James started the Player Empowerment movement and ended up ruining the NBA as other stars over the year would control their own future or control their organizations to the point of ruin. Well what if I told you, that what Lebron did was possibly justified, and the development of the movement wasn’t ruined by him when he started, but pioneered by him but ruined by others as the years passed on. And this can be talked about with many decisions, Kevin Durant's decision to leave the OKC Thunder to win Championships with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, other teams trying to make super teams like the Lakers with Kobe Bryant bringing in Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, or even the change in NBA Super Star Culture where players can do what they like when they like and can even make decisions for their team within. Whether that's Lebron James becoming Le'GM, Kawhi Leonard getting the Clippers to bring Paul George to LA, or Kevin Durant and others trying to force their way out of team situations.
