klays playoff perfomance should be up there for “I want this game to be over” award
Frrr
I immediately thought of this
Fortunately for him. Play in stats doesn't count
i wonder what the game score would be?
He probably already had the video made before that to be fair
"Duncan Robinson undoubtedly is the winner for the 'I just want this game to be over' award" Klay Thompson: "Are you sure about that?"
😂
Yeah that’s all I was wondering was how klays game compared…
and he did it in one of the most important games of their season
He had to make the vid before that game
Damn, already beat me to it lol
PLEASE make this video every season! This was gold.
💯
YES
That was hilarious. I was sitting there like Steph gotta be 90+ on the shooting quality, wtf isn't he anywhere on the leaderboard?!
The way it is calculated is made to put him at 100 imo. He is obviously the best shooter so why not but i'd prefer to put him out of the equation to let someone else 'shine'
@@ristoum906 No, he's the highest-quality shooter.
@@weksauce I don't know if you paid attetion but when it first showed point guards shooting quality it started at the number 2, the number 1 didn't showed and I knew damn well why it did not lol
@@mariohenrique9537 I missed the ranks.
Bro, stephen A, smith makes hundreds of thousands of dollars to know basketball and and has the worst takes ever, and this guy knows more basketball then every person on espn and could probably make millions of dollars but he just chills on youtube and gets sponsored by seatgeak and draftkings. A real 🐐.
Stephen didn’t even know that Quentin grimes left NY
Stephen A isnt getting paid to know anything, he is paid to spout hot air nonsense and get views to his channel. The more nonsense he says, people will tune in more to see his latest "cant believe he said that" take
Stephen A. doesn't get paid to *know*, but he certainly gets paid to spout out stuff. Things may be changing, but hot take culture has meant just be loud about your opinions and get views. The louder and hotter the take, the better.
Hundreds of thousands??? He makes 12 million a year just from his contract alone.
Stephen a is paid to make drama and entertainment tho. Also someone like that probably doesn't have the time to look at advanced statistics thoroughly. Not saying i don't like jxmy better i'm just being honest
Michael “the possession ends here” Porter Jr had me dead 😂😂
Jontay "the career ends here" Porter
Michael “Michael Porter Jr.” Porter Jr.
Coban "Your life ends here" Porter
Micheal "go fish my rebound" Porter
😂
This youtube channel deserves an award
"The best NBA content maker of all time"
10:20 - did we just forget about the jalen green ankle breaker? makes jared butler fall , stares at him then hits a look away 3?
Was just about to say this. How did he miss that lol.
He was robbed
That's honestly the sickest move I've even seen. Crazier than Steph slaloming 4 LA clippers and step back 3
Steph having the highest shooting rating possible isn’t even surprising at this point
Surprised it’s not higher tbh
whenever i hear or see words like shooter or sharpshooter, I think of Steph automatically. His name is synonymous with that aspect of basketball now.
He might be better at shooting than any other player is at any one specific skill in any sport ever.
@@PreacherJenkins that’s not ridiculous to say🤷
If Steph played a 3 point specialist role instead of a 1 option, he’d probably be hitting 55% from 3
Michael 'the possession ends here' porter😂😂😂
Jontay ‘the career ends here’ porter 😂
Fin d'attaque lol
@@onealrocky70 foul!!!
Michael 'grab the rebound' Porter JR
Michael "we have jokic for passing" porter jr
I know Jimmy will never read this, but man... I don't even watch basketball I just love your videos and love how deep you'll go into the stats.
An award that I was thinking of was smack talker of the year. Where a person talks trash but is also able to back it up with their game
Standing on business
Lukas offensive rating in 100th percentile isnt surprising. Ive always said hes no where near as bad on defense as people say he is. Give this man an MVP.
Yeah all the casuals say he doesn’t play defence
It's more that when compared to other MVP candidates he's the worst defender by a mile. He's not the worst defender in general but he's certainly not great by any means
@@yisroelkonovitchi mean his onball defense has gotten better but off the ball hes terrible, hes rotations are trash, is a ball watcher ect.
I'd hope at 6'7" the guy could play a little defense.
He is literally elite and generational at everything he does. They just wanna nit pick on things, luka is an avg to above avg defender and he is no way a liability on defense.
Paul George definitely should’ve been nominated for the Ankle Breaker award
fact
Fact
real
I Thought it was gunna be winner
facts he must have forgot about this
Michael "the possession ends here" Porter Jr. 😂
But he wasn’t the winner. At least a dozen worse than him.
This is easily the greatest channel for analysis of anything. You've clearly got a love for the game. Combining that with the skill you have in analysis and vis creates something truly great.
There should be an award for who's the NBA player paying the most child support
Tristan Thompson
Zion has the talent to put up Shawn Kemp numbers
Well we know its not anthony edwards🤣🤣☠☠
Foul😭😭
Edwards low key has a couple of future BM’s hiding from him right now
I feel like a child when Jxmy is scrolling up a chart he made pointing out players stats, for him to just zoom up to the top player miles away from the rest. It just sends my brain back to infancy. He does it every video, and every time I just want to clap my hands and eat play-doh
Lol what a fascinating comment
I love this
absoluteley
the man knows how to build suspense
😂😂😂 😂😂 it tingles my neurons…… pause 😂😂
One award should be “I’d be HIM if he wasn’t on my team award” it’s pretty self-explanatory that a player who is over looked as a robin but if he didn’t have a certain player on his team he’d be amazing. This is more a role player award showing their true value to a team
This would be a fire award
JAMAL MURRAY 😭
Who's legend are we naming this award to? Scottie Pippen? Dwayne Wade? T-Mac(Raptors)? Danny Granger?
@@KuyaKeebs It’s probably D-Wade just because he was a Robin to Batman then whenever he left he showed his true talents
@@BrianCook-xr6vo Yeah, D-wade is a good case for this award. But, it was definitely HIM before and after LeBron.
For me, the “I Can’t Believe that just Happened Award” would go to Max Strus’ shot on my Mavericks. I stood there for a good 10 minutes completely stunned.
I love this concept and would love to see more categories, like: "The lights were too bright award" -Goes to the player who crumbles in clutch moments "He forgot to play basketball award" -Goes to the player who had the biggest falloff compared to the previos season, basically opposite of MIP "Celtics Shaq award" -Goes to a vetereran who should just hang it up
Klay deserves all of them
"He forgot to play basketball award" - andrew wiggins clear winner
"got the bag, now i can chill" award
@@eduardoromero5629nah that’s Ben Simmons
I'd mix it up with a few positive ones though. Don't wanna be just hating.
3:36 Michael "The possession ends here" Porter Jr. 😭😂😂🤣🤣
They say his brother actually tries not to score in games because he’s so used to never getting the ball.
@@eliyarrows2456😭😭😭😭😭😭
When his teammates tell him to swing the rock he only hears 2 music genres
NBA should just hire you. I follow you since 2017/18 I think and this was, for me, the most interesting and creative video but also really deep in analytics to prove your point. I mean you always do but after around 6 years of following every video, I’m happy to see that you still amaze me. Love from France bro !
Rockets fan here so I thought about Whitmore as soon as that award came up but I didn’t think he’d make the list let alone win it. Lol Makes perfect sense tho, he’s a rookie who started in the G-league and got very few minutes upon getting called up. Once Ime looked to the bench for more offense Cam took his opportunity to show he can put the ball in the hoop at any level and ran with it. By the end of the year his assists numbers started rising. What a steal he was. 😎
Real fun to watch live too... Dude can jump out the gym
@@zachhocking9053 glad to hear it. Plan to debut my Jalen Green jersey I got on the cheap at a game next season. 😎
"Prime James Harden One Way Player" is the most disrespectful respectful award name I ever heard lol
Aye ppl sleep on his post defense in his prime
Jalen Green ankle breaker, stare down, look away 3 is the best crossover for sure.
Really shocked it wasn’t even considered
that paul george game winner cold too
Sad it wasn't considered, but Steph's breakdown of a good defender, and a self-professed top defender so early into Brooks "I am him" attempted arc, was too good. A lot (not all) of the other ones considered were against poor to mediocre defenders.
Yes
This is what I thought too
The amount of effort put into just the graphics is incredible.
I watch a lot of Jimmy's videos but this is probably my favorite video I've seen of his. This goes so hard and it shows all the work these guys don't get credit for
6:51 he obviously didn’t make this video after klay’s big old 🍩 play-in 💀
it wouldn’t qualify as a regular season award for klay. plus with fouls and turnovers duncan’s game was worse
@@isaacnewton5652 ig but that was embarrassing by klay either way 😂
@@isaacnewton5652thats the worst part💀klay did it when the stakes were at the highest💀💀💀 being a warrior fan i think its time for 5 to 6 years of mediocrity for all the pain we have induced in the league.
@@isaacnewton5652well it’s not actually post season tho is it?
@@anirudhmishra4510What kind of fan wants their team to be bad simply because they were good? That’s a loser mentality
I guess Jimmy already edited the worst game of the year award before Klay Thompson's recent Play-in performance 😂
These are all regular season awards. However you view the playin it is not regular season
I don’t comment often, but I absolutely loved this video. It’s such a breath of fresh air to see other awards aside from the ones we see year to year. And I loved that you could back up all of your rankings with stats not popular vote. I already can’t wait until next year’s awards. 🎉
"and as always, until next time" IS BACKKKK
I'd add an award for "best actor". Who flops the most AND gets calls the most?
Definitely Embiid
Best Flopper
There’s no way to track flopping besides watching every single play leading to a foul this season and making a judgement call. That being said this is Jalen Brunsons award. Woulda gone to Embiid had he played enough to qualify, but Brunson is the 2nd most infuriating player for me to watch because every time he drives to the rim he flicks his head back or flails his arms like he just got punched in the face. Then they show the replay and he’s not even touched. It’s so bad that if you watch the Knicks games, watch whenever Brunson drives. The refs ignore it half the time because he does it almost every possession.
It’s easily foul merchant Embiid, no need to watch. Trae is a close second
LeFraud is King Flopper the Team Hopper.
3:10 three fools, seating courtside looking at their phones and losing this amazing moment of the season, lol
Absolutely LOVED all of these awards!! 🎉🎉
The video is really funny, I like your ideas of those awards and giving credit to the iconic players for the award. This kind of videos are a good recap for the season. Please consider to do this again next year, thank you and have a good day.
The "2nd half turnaround" award goes to Jalen Green. He was so bad that I straight up dropped him from my fantasy league when it seemed like he was actually falling out of the rotation, only to then instantly regret it when it all fell into place for him after the All-Star Break. The "Phantom Superstar" award goes to Jamal Murray. He's beyond underrated, he might as well be invisible when people talk about the best players in the league. Yet when he and Jokic completely dissect defenses and win game after game, no one even mentions it. Its almost like it takes the fun out of it for some people to talk about a team which is clearly better than all the rest in terms of chemistry and skill set, but I'd be surprised if they didn't win another chip this season, and I believe that when it happens, no one will be surprised that it did.
People talk about Murray a lot. In fact, he’s probably the most famous nba player who hasn’t been an all star before. People consistently rank him and Jokic as the best duo in the league, and people consistently give Jamal credit and have for 2 years now. It’s like how people say players are underrated. 99/100 people say players are underrated only AFTER they begin to get the credit they deserve and when they finally stop being underrated. Like people said Ant and Hali were underrated early this year. They both were locks for the all star game, who tf is underrating them rn 😂
@@eliyarrows2456 I just Googled top point guards going into this season, and 2 different sources had Murray at 10th. One placed him in tier 3, with Harden and Trae Young in Tier 2. I'd place him much higher and easily take him over both of those guys. I think his value comes from things that don't show up in the box score, and that he can dominate the pace of the game and makes everyone around him better with his brilliant decision making. He also is a great clutch shooter. He might not be flashy, but he does help his team with the most important stat: wins. I agree with what you say about how people label some guys as underrated just to be trendy, and its safe when they say it, because the players in question, liked the ones that you named are already achieving a high level of success. My point was that I think Jamal Murray is Tier 1, and I don't think that a lot of other people do, because he doesn't put up gaudy stats like SGA, Doncic or Curry.
Bruh the Jalen Green fantasy thing is so real I feel u on that 😭😭😭
@@Isaac-mk3wj I had to drop Jalen Green and Jordan Poole because they were destroying me in turnovers and Field Goal Pct. Jordan Poole I never really regretted, but Jalen Green made me wish I him back real quick, because I was patient for a long time, so I got all the bad and none of the good. I literally had them on the bench when they were due to play just avoid their negative stats sometimes.
He's only talked about when people wants to driscredit Jokic saying he has "the best team in the league" but when is time for awards or all-star selections that "best team" is never there
Sam Hausers 1-18 shooting game has to be up there for the worst of the season too lol
Atleast he scored. Klay put up 0.
@@fxbeliever123True. But that was a reg season based award
@@naf1566 That's a grey zone cause play-in stats technically aren't with playoffs stats
maaan! u r the best by far in analyzig the nba! nobody near u!!!! BIG UP!!!! MUCH LOVE!
I love how Jimmy always makes his own headlines.. Comes outta nowhere with a dope ass video about something we weren't even thinking about. NICE...
The way Jimmy analyzes every single freaking thing abt every player is amazing. I could watch a hour long vid of this
An hour will be overkill tho😅
@@winnerogbeha for jimmy to make for sure, quality would drop massively, for us to watch? it'd be a blessing, these vids are too short sometimes for me
@@johon127 would be great for us, just considering Jimmy 'the creator'. Creating content is not easy, talk less of GREAT content...I know from first hand knowledge
@@winnerogbeha yup, exactly what I said, 1 hour of quality content would take Jimmy quite some time and of lot of his mental sanity
crazy how he analyzes everything but didn’t nominate jalen green for the best ankle breaker of the year
The shot quality metric is standardized from 1-100. That means that the best shooter will, by definition, get a shot quality of 100.0. That’s downright impressive. Especially since the next best doesn’t even break 90. But saying Steph got a score of 100.0 only means he was the best. It doesn’t mean he was perfect. It means he is the standard everyone else falls short of.
Thank you for saying this. I was really curious what it meant to have a perfect score, seeing as clearly he could have done better as he did indeed miss shots.
I'm not impressed I have the same score as he does in my pick-up league (me and my 2 sons)
maan this had so much variety on the players and teams... awards should be always be like this!
I'd like to give you an award Jimmy. The "You still can't guard me" award, 3 years running!
Wemby deserves two awards, ROTY and DPOY! 😤

Yep

Jxmy gotta have the best basketball channel in recent memory.
Great video. I'd love to see an award for the player who creates the most problems wherever they go. The athlete who polarizes teammates and creates drama. Just the opposite of the glue that keeps everyone together.
the jordan poole award!
Needs to be an annual thing. Awesome video. I loved the award names
I think klays performance in the play in game vs kings is the new winner of the worst game award 🤣🤣🤣
I was looking for this 😂
It's wasn't in a "regular season" game, so it wouldn't count anyways.
I WISH THIS GUY WAS MY MATH THEACHER SO BAD!
great video as always! Love the idea and love the Rodman award! The move from M.McBride at 8:57 was just nasty!
"But cant play defense worth a lick" 😂😂😂
Thank you for posting
No problem you know I gotchu
11:20 “BUT CANT PLAY DEFENSE WORTH A LICK!!” 😂😂
Make this an annual thing, Jimmy. Again, you never fail to amaze us. Keep grinding.
I think a straight “best play of the year” award should be a thing. I know that people already sort of have this, but it’s mostly the flashy stuff, like Ant’s dunk. No, it would be tough, but we should find the most effective possession by an entire team, rating based on combined spacing, passing efficiency, number of possible shot attempts and their quality, and probability of said play working again on any other similarly knowledgeable opposing team. I know there are millions, if not billions of plays each year, and this would the most painful metric to keep track of, but I think this would be extremely helpful to people who really study the game of basketball as a whole.
1:05 bro said power forward twice lol
Nice catch. I think you know what he means, though. This content is not very common, and I love this stuff.. and gaining knowledge on any sport or athlete I'm a fan of
@@bamsuchanan Of course. I just find it silly because jxmy makes very well organized content that blows my mind, so when he makes a funny mistake like that here and there it catches me off guard. I'm sure his brain is going a million miles per hour when he makes these videos though.
shhh it is perfect for us
The emphasis too like he was saying a whole different position
I remember his video about Suns vs Mavericks game 7 he called DeAndre Ayton DeAndre Jordan
@9:52 we have jontay porter moving out of the way so he can hit his unders lol
Honestly I always loved the coaches award in high school. The award that went to the hardest worker, best encourager, contributed to locker room culture, on time, on task, promoting hard work to make teammates better, unselfish in what’s best for the team even if they have to sacrifice their own position or stats. That kind of award would be awesome!
Michael “The possession ends here” Porter Jr. 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm crying at the MPJ part 😭
It’s insane how potent and unique your content is
This is literally lowkey a channel I will always watch the video for when one comes up lol

That’s so awesome
Love to see Hartenstein get some recognition. King of the dirty work 🔥🔥🔥
Gotta say this is some of the best content on the app. Well edited, great narration, and most importantly it’s shit that we wanna hear.
Super cool video with very unique and creative ideas. No cherry picked stats and over dramatic reveals to push some weak ass casual take just to drive engagements and clicks. Just great stats and real hoops talk to show off some cool, funnny, or interesting highlights of this season. Ball knower jimmy is back and I am here for it!
I love this series Jimmy. This is now on your yearly rotation.
I would add the “I’m just going to take OVER this game” award! For the most “kill-switch engaged” player. Great vid, Ty for all you do king!!
kyrie is up there for sure, the guy has a higher gear for the 4th quarter but then again i mostly only watched the mavs cause im slovenian so idk😂
We need a "almost highlight of the year" award
Add this to the list of videos you should do each season! Love it!
Bro really had 2 back to back partnership ads
You should do a "most fun to watch team" award. Something that is purely subjective.
Excellent video!! 👏🏾👏🏾 If you don’t already, did THIS every year!
It’s 1:54. A good time to pause a 15:44 video. I’m liking the video now, after the into, out of respect for the numbers Jxmy is going to crunch.
This is the only time jimmy presented a question to start the video and I was 100% sure of the answer
And people been trying to say all year that "Trae's defense has gotten better" lmao
"Getting better" is subjective
It has. Crafted def rating is heavily influenced by team defense. Trae also plays with bad defenders while the other PGs play with a good defensive players that help pad their defensive stats. Look at DEPM a more individual focused defensive stat, their you can see Trae’s improvement from previous seasons, and see he’s higher defensively than players like Halliburton and Dame.
He really has Go watch his games
9:52 Jontay Porter playing absolutely no defense on brandon ingram makes total sense now😂😂
My award: Least Valuable Player Recipient: Do I even need to say his name?
dude really puts more effort than some players themselves bro
Imagine when Wemby actually has help the league will be in trouble 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
That luka pass around Jaxson Hayes to Kleber i believe deserves a damn award i swear it was wild
I’m happy that jimmy is making a creative video and not a “STATS STATS STATS SEE THATS WHY” (Btw I love all your videos keep up the amazing work )
I like that there are really bad awards for terrible things, and positive awards for some players that get overlooked.
10:16 he forgot paul George’s ankle breaking game winner, it was insane
yeah that wins for me
Glad you covered TJ every game i’ve seen him play he’s been hooping.
Jimmy bringing ALL the receipts 💪💪 Anytime new evidence of Dillon Brooks foolishness is documented... Chef's kiss 😂
4:53 idk i think Jokic be feeding himself more than his teammates 😂
How is klay second in shot quality for shooting guards😭
Because it’s klay still
Social media brain washed u for thinking hes a bad player but if look at stat he still playing above average on his skillset. Shooting 45/38/92 this is really for a shooting position.
@@AntiMage99 nah I still think he’s good I just can’t believe he’s second and then Steph’s the best so it’s two top tier shot creators on the same team, I just feel like there’s not enough shots to go around.
@@waynerowland9591you casuals fan always bashing Klay and criticizing him like why yall hate him so much he got a acl tear a Achilles tear he is still putting up 17 a game when he is 34 year old still one of the best shooters rn
@@waynerowland9591if anything Thompson is better without curry, he can easily be a first option if Steph is not playing
I love these awards especially Dennis rodman and 10th man. They give credit to players who deserve it. I hope you do these every year
The 2024 "Jimmy's" was a massive success... Looking forward to future ceremonies!!!
Love you jimmy been watch since 2019
Another banger of a video from Jxmy, what a surprise 😂give this man his own tv channel ASAP
I’m glad Hartenstein is getting recognition. He’s always been a solid center with great size but he definitely seized the opportunity during Mitchell’s absence
Would love to see some JxmyHighroller awards like this go out at the end of each season
Duncan Robinson's worst game is still better than Klay Thompson's last game😂
Paul George’s ankle breaker game winner against cavs gotta be the ankle breaker of the year
Awards like this could be put to popular vote and create a ton of engagement on social media AND generate a bunch of hype for playoffs. NBA marketing needs someone like Jimmy.
8:52 so no Paul George game winner??😂
