OUT OF THIS WORLD Pass By Nikola Jokic (+ More...)
On the out of bounds play, the Spurs run a 2-3 zone. But check out this phenomenal play from the Pacers. Keep an eye on Chris Duarte, and Justin Holiday as they’re going to set 2 screens on the inside for Wannamaker to drive. Not the cleanest execution but it does enough for the backside to collapse, leaving an open look for Torey Craig and he swishes it from downtown. Here’s how this great play design looked at full speed and no wonder why they got 3 points out of it. A lot of games last night so let’s check out some more interesting actions. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. The Sixers forgot that the most dangerous player is often the inbounder. So we see C.J. Mccollum is gonna set a screen for Powell to get a full head of steam towards the basket. At the same time, the pass goes to Covington who will have a better angle to find him under the basket. This turns out to be a much easier score for Portland but on the replay we can see that if Philly switched and Powell couldn’t get it, this flows into a screen for C.J. up top and he would have a 3 point shot. It’s very often that teams have multiple options on out of bounds plays, and we see that being the case right here with this design from the Portland Trail Blazers. Moving on. The Celtics get the ball to Williams outside, and from there we have a screen and a handoff for Brown on the outside curl. So at this moment, since Lavine is trailing, and Jaylen has a driving lane, Vucevic needs to step in and stop that. Nice roll by Williams and this is a great position to be in. But the pass gets deflected so the initial advantage is lost, however great awareness by the big man as he flings a pass to the corner, the swing to Smart and he has a wide open three, that goes in. Once again check out how they created the advantage in the first place, nice effort by Chicago to try and extend this possession as much as possible, but at the end Boston still scores. Next up it’s Nikola Jokic with an insane pass to the corner. As we stop it right here, you see that there are 4 Grizzlies defenders who could intercept the ball on its way to Gordon. But this is Jokic we’re talking about so dude fires away a one handed slingshot across the entire court and defense on the money for Aaron Gordon buuuut unfortunately he misses it. Still I had to put this one in, for you to see it even tho it didn’t end in a score and it wasn’t a play call. Speaking of that, the next few are not necessarily designed plays, but the ball moved as seamlessly as the coach would draw it up. Sabonis and Holiday execute this to perfection. We got the pass and the high pick, Holiday goes up for the shot, at the last second drops it to Sabonis, back to Holiday on the drive, back to Sabonis, the turn and the lefty hook shot. This was amazing. Look at the ball bouncing almost like it’s in a pinball machine. Incredible 2 man game. Similar to that, Quickley and Topin run the high pick and roll, but the Raptors close the driving lane, so the 2 Knicks didn’t stop moving and went straight to it once again. Got a better angle and Obi Topin finishes with a layup. Here’s how that looked at full speed as the 2 young players show their great on court connection. And finally it’s the Nuggets again as they run this in a free flowing way with a lot of passing and movement, penetrating and kicking, to finally end up with a wide open look for Bones Hyland who hits the 3. Once again, check out how that looked on this beautiful Denver Nuggets possession. Let me know in the comments which was your favorite. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
The Brooklyn Nets Have A SECRET That Nobody Mentions...
As the Nets go in transition of course the attention is on James Harden with the ball. Then it shifts to one of the best shooters in the league Joe Harris. And finally the ball gets to KD, one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. You gotta try to stop him. So on such a stacked roster, nobody realizes that there is a wide open Patty Mills in the corner. And that includes the cameraman which is crazy. As he goes to shoot this practice shot- we finally see the reason why he was that open. But Mills doesn’t care about Kyle Kuzma because he’s too busy knocking down threes at a staggering 64.0% so far in 4 games. And while 64% is not sustainable of course, Patty Mills could have an insane shooting year because of this 1 thing that nobody talks about. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. Dude started the season 10 for 10 for 3 point range which is the first time that someone went 10 straight to start the season and broke the 8 for 8 record held by...oh right, held by Patty Mills in 2013. So that’s pretty cool. Now, you may be asking why I am making such a big deal and a video about a 38.7% career shooter from downtown who’s having a little hot streak at the beginning of the season. And to that I say: There’s something that nobody is talking about. Let me show you this little graphic here. As we take a look at the last 7 seasons, we notice a fairly decent percentage from 3 point range, but besides 2016/17 and maybe 2018/19, this is nothing to get excited about. But let’s now focus solely on catch and shoot threes. And all of a sudden we see elite shooting numbers. Consistently being above 40 with the sole exception of that 1 year, which is still solid by itself. Patty Mills is a sniper when it comes to just catching and shooting the ball. And guess what? He is going to get a ton of those this season. In fact, the large majority will be like that, since he of course doesn’t have to create, having guys like KD and Harden on the floor. In transition with the beard attacking and Aldridge diving to the basket, you know that the first rule for the defense is to stop the penetration. So as Harden kicks it out, this becomes a routine practice shot for Patty who went 7 for 7 in this game. And right here on the long rebound, as the ball gets to Durant, Mills already sees the entire defense watching him, so he’s going to relocate, sprinting to the opposite side where no other player is, and look at how much room he’s got for this shot that touches nothing but the bottom of the net. And not to mention how many of these situations there will be throughout the season. KD isolated on the wing, Curry makes the slightest move over there, and we got the pass, the shot and the bucket. Absolutely deadly. With the whole Kyrie Irving saga, and him not being in the roster, Patty Mills has been getting a lot of playing time and a lot of opportunities. But even if Kyrie somehow gets back in the roster and the minutes go down for the Australian, I fully expect him to keep getting the same looks, and to continue to knock them down as this is his favorite way of operating on the floor, and he shows that he can be one of the most dangerous shooters in this particular setup. Maan, the Nets got a great piece for their championship run. In my opinion the best is yet to come from such a battle tested player and a guy molded by Gregg Popovich. We’ll see that when it matters the most, in the playoffs. I’m sure that now that I’ve made this video, he’ll go 1 for 9 in his next 2 games but regardless numbers don’t lie, and they say that he’s a deadly catch and shoot player.

The REAL REASON Why Lamelo Ball Was "BENCHED" vs Brooklyn
Video Sponsored by Ridge Wallet. Check them out here: https://ridge.com/HEATCHECK The Hornets hit Brooklyn with this beautiful action, literally on the first play of the game. As Lamelo brings it up, we got 2 screens for him up top. Thing is, both Hayward and Plumlee slip those, while Ball attacks along the right side. This catches the Nets defenders by surprise and the big man finds himself wide open under the basket. So Lamelo finds him with a laser pass, and we got an uncontested dunk. Charlotte absolutely stunned the Brooklyn Nets by coming to their place and beating them, to start the season at 3-0 for the first time in franchise history. Let me show you some of the reasons for the hot start. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. First of all, we have to start with Miles Bridges. To me he’s been the main guy early on for Charlotte, and so far in these 3 games he’s averaging 25 points per game which is literally double than his 12.7 last season. You can absolutely see that this is sustainable because of the aggressiveness that he’s showing early on. Look at some of these moves when attacking the basket. Dude is expanding his repertoire and is becoming hard to guard at his position. And when you think of Bridges, the first thing that probably comes to mind are his superhuman dunks that almost caused the Hornets announcer to have a heart attack. But despite this, Miles was a 40% shooter from downtown last year, and it seems like he’s keeping up with this pace, and even making a step forward. It’s logical to try to increase the shots from outside so he’s been doing that going from 4 to 6, but at the same time making more so at the start of this new season he’s sitting at 44.4%. I believe that Bridges can keep up with this pace, and if not above 20, he can definitely average 19 points for the year, and with that he will surely be among the main candidates for most improved player. Next, I wanna point out the fact that this team plays incredibly fast paced with a lot of passing. In fact so much so that they’re at the top of the league, number 1 with 29 assists per game in these 3 matchups. And you already know who’s at the forefront when it comes to this. Lamelo Ball. At this point you almost expect that he will do something incredible each and every game. Right here, he drives, and at this moment Ball already sees the wide open Hayward in the corner, but instead of telegraphing that pass, check out how he looks towards Bridges, completely faking out the defense, as you can see the help guy going there. The incredible no look pass plus the amazing hangtime on this assist, as Hayward knocks down the three. Moving on. Even when Ball is not in the game, Ish Smith has been great early on in running the point guard position off the bench. With 5.7 assists it’s almost like the team doesn’t miss a beat when Lamelo is not in the game. And a lot of people don’t know that even tho he’s older now, Ish is still among the quickest guys in the league, so it’s always fun seeing him use that speed and go into attack mode causing all kinds of problems for the defense. In fact, Smith along with Cody Martin started the run that brought back Charlotte in the game against Brooklyn so Lamelo himself told coach Borego to ride it out with Smith. I absolutely love this, and it shows great maturity and trust in the team from such a young player. This was an incredible move, and it paid off big time, so I can only imagine how the atmosphere and the team chemistry is for the Hornets at the moment. So yeah, this was the real reason why he wasn’t playing in the 4th quarter of a big game. Coach Borego confirmed that in the postgame press conference. On the topic of the team, they accomplished their goals of having a deep roster, and being long and athletic especially on the defensive end. Against the Nets for example, they started Lamelo Ball, Kelly Oubre, Gordon Hayward, Miles Bridges and Mason Plumlee. This is an incredibly long and versatile lineup that can move quickly, switch, and it allows them to get a ton of steals and get up in transition for a lot of easy points. Charlotte has been getting 10.7 steals in these 3 games, which is a ton considering that last season the league leaders had 9 per game. I know it’s early of course, but I have to point out what this team has been doing well on the court. At the end I also want to give a shoutout to Gordon Hayward who is another guy on this roster having a great start to the season. Of course with him the performance is not the main concern as his injuries. So hopefully he can stay on the floor and be another weapon for the Hornets. When you add in the fact that Terry Rozier hasn’t even played in 2 of the first 3 games, meaning that they are yet to be in full strength, things are looking incredibly promising right?
Giannis Has A NEW JUMPSHOT... And It's DEADLY!!!
Offset your carbon footprint with me on Wren! We'll plant 10 extra trees for the first 100 people who sign up! https://www.wren.co/start/heatcheck This video is sponsored by Wren. As the Bucks are setting up this familiar action of 2 screens up top for Middleton to curl, watch how Holiday is going to slip that pick and go in the paint. Middleton throws a bullet pass off the bounce and you can see that the defense has to collapse to prevent the easy layup. Jrue finds Connaughton in the corner with the extra pass for a completely wide open shot and he knocks it down. This was a genius play call and it shows that the champs are sharp coming into the new season, but most importantly, their leader Giannis, looks like he improved in the off season and could be unstoppable. Let me explain why. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. Early on in the game we see the Greek Freak here bring the ball up in transition and go to this specific spot on the court. The stop, the pull up and the bucket. Raising up off the dribble like this is a completely different story than these 5-6 dribbles in 1 place with opponents literally giving him the open shot. And look at how fluid this looks. Face up at the elbow, surveying the floor, decides to use his mismatch, and goes into the backdown, gets to where he wants, turnaround fadeaway...nothing but net. He started getting comfortable with this shot in the playoffs, and seeing how unstoppable that was I wanted to see him continuing to work on it, and getting better and better. So this looks beautiful. Again look at the fluidity here. The between the legs, the jab, and then this almost 1 motion shot. The form looks much improved and I like where this is going. Even from downtown, check out how comfortably he steps into this shot in transition. And he has a hand in his face but it doesn’t matter. Bang. Dude went 2 for 3 from downtown but more importantly, I gotta emphasize it, the shot looks natural, looks nice, and Giannis appears very comfortable while taking it. We knew that he wasn’t afraid to take the shots. After all, that’s how the Bucks won last year, he put them on his back and went through every obstacle. And even tho this is a very limited sample size from the preseason, but if he is developing a reliable jumper, he will legitimately be unstoppable. This could have been the single most important adjustment that happened this summer. Moving on, I also love how the Greek Freak was able to find his teammates in this game. You already know this scary looking attack with him getting a head of steam in transition. Goes left, into the spin and if we stop it here, you see how both Gobert and Bogdanovic gotta be there. So check out how Antetokounmpo was able to find Lopez straight off the spin. This is great awareness and reaction by Giannis. On this play, not much to break down but it’s a great 1-2 connection between Middleton and Giannis. Everything happens in the blink of an eye and the Jazz were just eyewitnesses to this amazing execution. I like the patience on this possession as it’s clear to me that he can bulldoze past Eric Paschall, but Giannis backs him down while keeping an eye on the entire floor. Brook Lopez slips to the basket and Antetokounmpo notices that, finds him down low and the easy finish. Terrific job of keeping an eye on the entire court and finding the open guy. And speaking of the open guy, someone that will benefit in a great way will definitely be Grayson Allen. He’s been hovering around 40% from three these past two seasons and even tho he didn’t have a great game in this one, you can only imagine the looks that he will get throughout the season, and there’s no way that the percentage can go down as long as he’s playing on this team. This is definitely 1 thing to follow as Allen is a sneaky good signing for the Bucks and could end up being an extremely important piece in a deep playoff run. Even after winning the championship, I feel like this team did not get enough credit, and we are all kind of penciling in the Brooklyn Nets as the automatic number 1 seed in the Eastern conference as well as the favorite to go to the finals. However, with all the drama from the past few weeks, as well as the newest developments suggesting that Kyrie Irving will not play for the Nets this year, it becomes more interesting and more uncertain in terms of which team is actually the best in the East. And that is even more true now as we see the off season improvement for Giannis. If this translates into this year, things are really about to get crazy, so buckle up.

Not to hype it too much but this is personally my favorite video that I’ve ever done.
This Is INSANE...NBA Testing Gone CRAZY!
Start speaking a new language in 3 weeks with Babbel 🎉 Get up to 65% OFF in your subscription ➡ HERE: https://go.babbel.com/12m65-youtube-heatcheck-sept-2021/default Just a few days ago, De'aaron Fox posted a shirtless image of himself lifting weights and getting his body ready for the new season. And while people joked in the comments telling him to expect one of those PED tests, to randomly show up at his door, as crazy as it sounds, that exact thing really happened. As you can see on his very next post, this is a screenshot from an anti-doping officer from the NBA, telling him that he needs to contact them ASAP and be tested. Coincidence? Absolutely not. Despite the fact that a player needs to be selected truly at random, let me show you a few more instances where the league tested a player solely because of an instagram post, a nice in-game dunk, or even crazier, a photoshopped image by a random dude online. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. IG influencers say it’s all in the angles. So Michael-Carter Williams I guess perfected the technique and in this photo he looks swole in an instagram post and on top of that he captioned it “Bully ball” Teammate Mo Mamba joked that the guard will get the entire team tested. Williams tho, responded quickly: “No lie bro. I just got a call sayin they comin to the crib tomorrow” Less than 24 hours after posting the photo on social media, the guard proved that the NBA testing agent really did come to his door. But as he said, it was just the pic. He didn’t really gain 50 pounds. Alex Carusso’s case was even funnier. In 2019, before the start of the season, the Lakers shared photos on Twitter that included one of Alex Caruso working out. Not surprisingly in the internet era, someone photoshopped Caruso, making him look much more jacked than he actually was at that time. Not long after the photos circulated on the internet, Caruso received a "random offseason” test in the mail, as he said on Instagram. This is hilarious to me, that the league actually looks at social media to determine which player’s improvement is suspicious and requires testing. Moving on. Shortly after the Caruso incident, during the 2019-2020 season, his teammate at the time, Danny Green learned that a single dunk could put him on the suspect list. In a game against the Atlanta Hawks, Green came crashing for the rebound and finished with a spectacular dunk. This fired up his Lakers teammates but apparently the league office as well. The very next day, he received a random test. Danny is certainly not known for dunking, and this was his first one of the season, so the fact that this could be a coincidence goes out the window in my opinion. As you can see he had fun with this, and took it lightly. # surprisesurprise. And going by all of these hilarious examples, to me it wouldn’t be a surprise surprise if this obviously photoshopped image of Kevin Durant gets him a visit from a league testing officer sometime soon. Another interesting one is Bradley Beal. Two seasons ago, he had back to back 50 point games. This of course made the alarms go off and he immediately got tested. How can you go off of the fact that he scored a lot of points in 2 consecutive games? First of all he was pretty much playing by himself that entire season since the Wizards didn’t have anyone else to help him score the ball, so a 50 by him is predictable even, and not a surprise. Anyway, Bol Bol had quite an eventful debut for the Denver Nuggets. He scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks. It literally seemed like he was all over the floor. And as you know NBA twitter is probably the most active community online, so he was trending even during the game. Apparently too much even, because immediately after the game Bol Bol needed to prove to the league that he is all clean. Which of course he did, as well as all other guys I previously mentioned. They all tested negative. However there have been some players who did test positive recently. Most notably John Collins and Deandre Ayton. Of course they said they were unaware that a certain supplement or drink they took had a banned substance in it, but you know...when you get into that territory, it’s tough to take those things and have no idea what you’re doing. It seems like the NBA is clamping down on this issue more aggressively lately. There’s a big difference in how things used to be. In 2011, an ESPN The Magazine report quoted then-MVP Derrick Rose as saying performance enhancing substances are a "huge" problem in the NBA. Rose was one of several professional athletes asked the following question by ESPN the Magazine for its May 16 issue: "If 1 equals 'What are PEDs? and 10 equals 'Everybody's Juicing... How big of an issue is illegal enhancement in your sport?" In response, Rose said, "Seven. It's huge, and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person.

The NBA Player Who RUNS THE MOST
Download the Sleeper app: https://go.slpr.link/heatcheck When you think about the player who runs the most in a game, you probably think of Steph Curry. And you wouldn’t be wrong for that. I mean, look at all of this movement. This is how I opened a video that I made 2 seasons ago, to really illustrate my point. But he wasn’t number 1 then, and he’s not at the top this season either. Stick around and I promise you’ll be surprised by some of the names on this list. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. At number 10 we got Jamal Murray, who although got injured towards the end of the season, when he was healthy, he was all over the floor in that dynamic Denver Nuggets system. You can see him running from one side to the other, and getting those handoffs from Jokic on the perimeter which is one of the staples in their offense. Number 9 and 8 we got a pair of teammates for the Charlotte Hornets. They were one of the surprising teams of the season and even tho Hayward got injured as well midway through the season, we’ll include him here. The thing about having these 2 guys in the top 10 is probably the fact that Hornets as a team play fast, attractive basketball, and run up and down the floor, so this may have more to do with the style of play for this team. I love what they do and I’m looking forward to seeing this young team develop next season as well. Funny thing is that next up we got another pair of teammates. And a big surprise to me seeing this player in the top 10. This is a shocker to me, Julius Randle- as a big guy at number 7 on this list. But when you think that he was the primary, and at times the only offensive solution for the Knicks this year, that should explain it a bit. Balling out throughout the entire season is how Julius won the most improved player award as well. And with that he earned himself a new 4 year 117 million dollar contract from the Knicks. So the front office, and myself as a Knicks fan will be expecting the same type of commitment. And at number 6 I can definitely understand seeing R.J. Barret high up on this list since his whole game is based on effort. He runs in transition, attacks the basket, cuts when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands, and most importantly, R.J. is often assigned to guard some of the best players on opposing teams. So while he has a long way to go in terms of justifying the expectations and his high draft position, I always enjoy his energy, and effort that he brings to the team. At number 5 we got Pascal Siakam. And similarly to R.J. We already know about Spicy P and his motor. Siakam was in the top 10 last season as well, that’s just the way he plays. Although he didn’t show us the same progression in his overall game, his heart and his passion have always been there and the Nick Nurse system is such that it involves a lot of movement so I don’t wanna spoil anything but we might see another Raptor here. Next up is another big man. Domantas Sabonis. And as unconventional as it is seeing a big man on this list, let alone so high up, I did make a video about him earlier in the season and I talked about how he has a great handle and often runs the break for Indiana going coast to coast transforming defense into offense. And talking about progression, look at the year to year improvement for Domantas, literally every single one, ultimately getting to 20.3/12.0 and 6.3 for this season. Absolutely amazing, and you definitely don’t do that without hard work. That’s how we got him here as well. Zach Lavine has been in the top 5 on this list for the last 3 years. His superhuman athleticism allows him to be everywhere on the court and he uses that. Combined with the fact that the Bulls have gone only as far as he took them and relied solely on his production is pretty much how he’s constantly on here. So let’s see how much that changes now with the new additions and a beefed up roster. At number 2, Another guy that- as Jalen Rose would say his success is more because of his will, rather than his skill. Harrison Barnes is pretty much always guarding the best opposing player so there’s a lot of battling and he’s got the highest mileage defensively. Understandably so. The physicality and determination is part of his game both offensively as well as on defense. And you could definitely see that on these clips. So that’s how we got him at number 2 And finally, at number 1, Fred Van Vleet with just a few feet more than Barnes, takes the crown as the player who ran the most last season. This is pretty much in Van Vleet’s DNA, this is exactly how he got his 4 year, 85 million dollar contract. By playing super hard, every single possession, and yeah hitting some big shots as well of course. As I mentioned, part of the reason could also be the system of Nick Nurse and both offensive and defensive schemes that require discipline, effort and quickness.
The Lakers Made A HORRIFIC MISTAKE...
The big 3 of Lebron James, Anthony Davis and now Russell Westbrook is a combined weight of 121 million dollars for the next season. Just those 3 players have a bigger combined salary of the complete rosters for 19 teams in the league. But none of that matters since now the Lakers have a superteam and are for sure winning the title right? On the contrary, if you ask me, they made a horrific mistake. Let me explain why. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. You know what’s Lebron’s style of play right? On every team he’s been on. Overpowers defenders, attacks the basket, and when the help comes, kicks it out to the shooter. That’s literally the recipe with each and every one of his teams. But in order to get Westbrook, who’s a career 30.5% shooter from downtown, which for those of you that don’t know that’s not good, the Lakers gave away probably their best outside shooter in Caldwell Pope. He shot 38.5% when they won the title, and 41.0% last year. Speaking of shooting, this is how the Lakers themselves defended Westbrook in that playoff series against Houston. Look at all of this space. Do you know how Brodie shot it that entire year? An abysmal 25.8%. Threes that were primarily off of the catch and shot from Harden’s kick outs. Which is the exact same way of operating with Lebron. So since LA gave up so much to get Westbrook, now the depth is depleted as well, but of course they are restricted in terms of the salary cap so things will get trickier for them. And the most mind blowing thing for me is that just hours before acquiring Russell, reporters were saying that the team was trying to trade for Buddy Hield, which was actually the perfect guy to trade for. A career 40.6% shooter from 3, playing alongside Lebron and AD on the perimeter? There’s no way you double them 2. And if you do, there would have been a high price to pay. Plus, the roles would have been clear there since Buddy is a shooter. Whereas Westbrook is best when the ball is in his hands, but we know that the Lakers are the best when James has it in his possession. So this will be similar to that hybrid “on the ball, off the ball” that Rockets had him play when Brodie was in Houston alongside Harden. They were great friends too, as is the case now, so I’ve already seen the comments saying: they’ll find a way to make it work. But honestly I got fooled with that the first time around. I honestly thought that Westbrook and Harden will make things work, but we saw how they barely even got out of the first round in 7 games against the OKC Thunder. So look: At the end of the day, Russell is going to do his thing especially during the regular season. He’ll have nights where he’s unstoppable, racking up triple doubles, and providing firepower enough to win games against some teams and for Lebron to be a bit more rested. But I’m viewing this from the standpoint of the playoffs, where teams look to exploit every possible weakness, and where shooting is especially important. And now it’s clear that Schroeder is not going to be coming back and obviously the Lakers are not done making moves yet, but they need to be creative in terms of filling out the roster with good pieces who can contribute under the brightest lights when it matters the most, in the hunt for the championship. Until then, and until I’m proven wrong, my stance is that they made a mistake. I expect a lot of passionate comments, so whether you agree or disagree, let me know down below. Keep it respectable tho. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
