Why Is This Guy SHOOTING ONLY FLOATERS?!
What if I told you that there’s an NBA player that only shoots floaters. And he’s killing the opponents with it. Introducing Immanuel Quickley from the New York Knicks. Let me show you why this dude is quickly becoming a Knicks fan favorite. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. Guys check out this staggering statistic. Since ya boi had nothing better to do with his life, I went ahead and counted the floaters. Out of 77 made field goals so far this season, 34 are floaters. I have never seen this type of ratio. That’s almost half of his total baskets. Quickley is so natural with it to the point where he can hit them while running full speed like he does here, or fading to the side as you can see. And look at this: He has his hands set to shoot a regular jumpshot, but at the last second he moves the left hand away just to be able to flick this. Remember how the story with James Harden and the Rockets was only 3s and layups? Well Quickley is shooting only 3s and floaters which is kinda funny to me. I do like the way he gets to a position to shoot the floater in pick and roll situations. As you can see right here, Immanuel does a great job of keeping his defender on his back, and then surveying the floor and seeing the opportunity, getting to his spot, and of course the shot. At the moment Quickley is third among rookies in scoring with 12 and a half points per game, right behind Lamelo Ball and Anthony Edwards. But the thing is that the Knicks guard is getting those points while having far less minutes on the court compared to the other guys on this list. You know Tom Thibodeau has been notorious for this throughout his career. Not really liking to play younger guys and develop them, but rather trying to win with his veterans. But even with the limited playing time, Quickley is able to leave an imprint on the games and is gaining the respect of even some of the best players in the league. After the game against the Clippers, Paul George had a lot of positive comments about him. And that’s one thing that everybody agrees on. Quickley is fearless. He is always in attack mode and not afraid of anyone. That provides a great spark for the Knicks offensively. And speaking of the Knicks, after a surprisingly strong start, right now they are in the play-in tournament zone, close to a number 6 seed, but close to being 13 as well. So as a long time suffering New York fan myself, I am glad that I can at least make a positive video about a young and promising player. To all the young guys out there, practice your floater because as you can see, it can be a deadly weapon in your arsenal. And I’m gonna go do that right now. Subscribe and help ya boi get to 500 thousand we’re so close. Peace out.
This Is The BIGGEST TRAGEDY In The NBA
In yet another loss against the Houston Rockets, Bradley Beal couldn’t help but to let his emotions just take over, as he sat on the bench shaking his head and virtually crying. So let me tell you why his story is the biggest tragedy in the NBA this season. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. The same thing happened yesterday as well- during Washington’s latest game against the Pelicans. His 47 points 4 rebounds 6 assists and 4 steals weren’t enough as the Wizards fell to 3 and 11 for the season. And you can see the genuine disappointment in his eyes and body language. After the game Beal was asked if he’s frustrated. And his answer was simple: Is the sky blue? Bradley is doing everything in his power to will this Washington team, but it’s just not enough. Look at this: He has now lost 10 straight games with 40 points or more. Alone at the top of this infamous list. With 35 and a half points per game on 48% shooting he is the highest scorer in the NBA so far this season. But again, all that for nothing. So I have to mention this: When he signed that big contract, I immediately came out with a video and said that he made a mistake. However I do love the loyalty, and the fact that Beal loves the city and is so close in the community but at the same time, this is not a team like Portland, or Milwaukee, or Boston. Contending rosters that just cannot get over the hump. To get out of a situation like those and go to another team could possibly be portrayed as a bad move by the media. But the Wizards are nowhere close to that. Even with the Westbrook trade I said that it doesn’t change anything. I had them in the 7-8 range in terms of standings and an early playoff exit. But by no means did I expect this. And obviously Bradley wasn’t expecting it either. The question now is: 1. With all of these videos of him clearly showing his displeasure and disappointment- is there possibly a chance for him to ask for a trade? And if not- then number 2: How long until the Wizards pull the trigger themselves and finally go into a full rebuild mode, a couple of seasons later than they maybe should have? If there’s a perfect time- it definitely is right now. They are dead last in the entire league, and even with the new and updated draft lottery format, Washington will still get a high draft pick. Combine that with a few more that they could get for the hottest commodity on the market right now in Bradley Beal, and there is a legit start for a rebuild. As for Beal himself, he could make any of the playoff teams an instant title contender. That could be the best possible solution for both sides. A struggling franchise looking for a fresh start, and a loyal but disappointed superstar, that just wants to win. We’ll see how this one ends, but I have a feeling that a trade could be in the works pretty soon. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

Did PERO ANTIC Get ROY HIBBERT Out Of The NBA?!
Heading into the 2014 Playoffs, Roy Hibbert was an All-Star and 2nd Team All-Defense, anchoring the Pacers’ D to the best record in the East. But the first round against the 8 seeded Hawks showed that his considerable talents were increasingly becoming obsolete with the way the game was being played, and even though very few people at the time knew it, this series was an early sign of things to come, which would end his career in just 3 short years. Did my fellow Macedonian Pero Antic have something to do with that? Let’s dive deeper. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. We all know how much the 3-point revolution and small ball have changed the game over the last decade, but back in 2014, this process was still in its infancy. The Pacers were the best defensive team in the league, mostly thanks to Roy Hibbert contesting drives with his 7’2’’ frame, 7’4’’ wingspan, and of course his rule of verticality. Alongside Paul George, David West, and Lance Stevenson, there were some who picked the Pacers to come out of the East that year, beating LeBron and D-Wade on their way to the Finals. But then, Round 1 Game 1 happened, Hibbert matching up against 2 capable shooters from distance. Paul Milsap as well as the relatively unknown 31-year-old rookie from Macedonia, Pero Antic, who spent the previous 13 years playing in Europe. Antic averaged just 7 points and 4 rebounds in the regular season, but the concern for the Pacers was that the big man could make shots from downtown, at 33% for the season - and the matchup problems that this might create at the center position. Look at how naturally Hibbert is drawn inside towards protecting the basket, but Antic makes the three early on and let’s the Pacers know that their big man would have to get further out. So since that adjustment needed to be made, the lane opened up and Jeff Teague used that to knife his way straight to the rim for a layup. Again, it was either that, or the long range bombs by the Atlanta frontcourt. This way the Hawks fought to a stunning game 1 victory, sending a strong message to the Indiana coaching staff. In game 2 Frank Vogel adjusted slightly by putting Hibbert on Millsap, but Millsap is also of course more than capable of scoring from distance. And as you can see, he still needed to be defending out at the three point line, and left the rim unprotected. Something that was Indiana’s biggest strength previously, was suddenly taken away. With 4:40 left in the 3rd quarter, the Pacers fate hung in the balance, only up by 3 (66-63). This is where Vogel pulled Hibbert out and Indiana went on a spectacular 27 to 4 run, blowing the game open and tying the series. Even though Antic struggled from three for the rest of the series, making only 1 of 20 after Game 1, the threat that both him and Milsap posed, and the fact that Hibbert couldn’t be at the only spot that he was great at-which is under the basket kind of made him unplayable against this team. Even Paul George said that Indiana was looking to play small in order to match up well against the Hawks. For the next 4 games, he averaged only 17 minutes per game, a clear contrast from almost 30 in the regular season, and 32 and a half for the rest of this playoff run. The most obvious example of this is Game 6, where Hibbert played only 12 minutes. The Pacers won the series in 7 games and for the rest of the playoffs Roy Hibbert went back to looking more like his old self, but that’s because the Wizards and to lesser extent the Heat played relatively traditional lineups where Hibbert’s talents could be of service. Washington played Marcin Gortat and Nene at the same time for the whole series, while Miami experimented with some small ball lineups but still played Udonis Haslem, Chris Andersen. Hibbert was able to maintain similar numbers for just the next season, but after that his production fell off a cliff and already by 2017 he was out of the league at age 30. And looking back on it, it was the NBA getting faster, shooting more and more threes, and this series is where Coach Bud, Pero Antic, and Paul Millsap showed the early signs of the game’s revolution which left many players like Hibbert behind. Don’t kill me in the comments for being biased about this one. I stand by this video. Once again shoutout to Pero Antic. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
When Peja Stojakovic Was BETTER THAN Kobe Bryant
Let’s play a game. It’s the 2003-2004 season. You have a choice. Player A, who’s 25 years old, is averaging 24.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and connects on 32.7% of his shoots from deep. Player B, who’s 26 years old, is averaging 24.2 points, 6.3 boards, while hitting 43.3% from beyond the arc. Who would you rather have? If you chose Player B, you just picked Predrag Stojakovic over Kobe Bryant. And this is his story. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. First off, let’s be clear about several things. Number 1: This is not to say that Peja was better than Kobe. Number 2: Stats never tell the whole story, especially when it comes to defence, where the Black Mamba was far superior. Plus, Kobe was far better in creating his own shot, and much much more. Yet, these figures can at least be a testament to the fact that Peja was a baller, and in 03-04 he could go head to head with the best of em. But let’s go back to the beginning. n 1993, at just 16 years, the small forward headed to Greece to join PAOK from Red Star Belgrade. Though it was not that common at the time for teams to get seduced by European players, it didn’t take long for NBA scouts to notice his potential and fine shooting stroke. So, when the Sacramento Kings had the opportunity to select him with the 14th pick of the famous 1996 Draft, they took it. Stojakovic, though, would remain in Greece and spend another two years there. When the time was right, he decided to take his talents to the NBA. In his rookie season, he played 48 games but remember, this is during the 1999 lockout-shortened season, where teams played just 50 regular season games. Peja had averages of 8.4 points in 21.4 minutes per contest. Management, though, at least behind the scenes, must have been a little disappointed with his 32% rate from deep. Still, the forward showed flashes of his potential, with the prime example of that being a match against the Utah Jazz, in which he scored 26 while hitting 5-8 from three-point land. (од ова, бар ја колку што барав, нема видео) Yet, when speaking about 1999, we must mention the positive impact that Kings centre Vlade Divac, a fellow Serbian, had on the rookie. The mentor helped Peja with matters such as the driving exam and taught him about life in the NBA. Their bond even grew stronger due to the political developments in their country at that time. The Kings, finishing as the six seed with a 27-23 record, made the playoffs for only the second time in 13 seasons. There, despite giving the mighty Jazz all they could handle, they would fall in the final game of the first round. In the 1999-2000 season the Kings were supposed to be a team on the rise. But despite the individual progress by Stojakovic, who increased his scoring to 11.9 points per game and got better from deep, 37.5%, they made the playoffs as the eight seed. Yet again, they lost the final game of the first round, this time falling to the eventual title-winning Lakers side. Then, Something clicked in the 2000-01 season for Peja. Starting all 75 games he played in, the sharpshooter exceeded the 20 point per game barrier for the first time in his NBA career, averaging 20.4. A whole 8 and a half point increase in just a season. He even improved his rebounding, grabbing 5.8 per contest. Also important, he connected on 40.0% of his shoots from three point land, on 4.8 attempts. In February of that year , he went off for 39 points and 12 rebounds in Canada in a triple-overtime thriller. (линк - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxcRLaHkrAI) One of the six three pointers he made that night was actually the go-ahead basket with 45.2 seconds to go. His leap was recognised, and he finished second in the Most Improved Player race, behind Tracy McGrady. In the second round of 2001 Playoffs, unfortunately for Kings fans, their team faced a Lakers side widely considered among the greatest of all time. The result, a sweep. So, in the 2001 offseason, the Kings made a trade they believed would put them over the top, trading for the Grizzlies’ Mike Bibby in a package that involved Jason “White Chocolate” Williams. Rick Adelman’s team, which included Chris Webber as well, quickly became the talk of the league. Praised for their chemistry, altruistic approach to the game, and nice passing, the Kings had the best record in the league, winning 61 games.
Proof That JJ BAREA CAN DUNK! 9 Forgotten NBA Dunks
You probably all know this moment when Lebron basically ended Jason Terry’s life. This statement may even be more on point for the Deandre Jordan dunk. The league has seen a lot of phenomenal dunks and unfortunately some of them end up buried and forgotten. So here are a few to refresh your memory. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. 1.And we start off strong right off the bat with one of the best dunkers in NBA history. Gerald Green. After that 2 foot jump stop everyone expected a floater or a shot but dude exploded out of nowhere and threw it down. 2.Speaking of facial dunks, I’m sure that everybody knows the epic Baron Davis dunk on Kirilenko, but to me equally as awesome, but completely forgotten is this one against none other than Kevin Garnet. Stuffs the basketball right in his face. Man, all of you younger guys need to look up some videos of Baron Davis, the guy had crazy hops and a nasty compilation of facials. 3.Here’s another great one from way back in the day. I love this dunk because Marbury catches an alley oop,completely turned with his back to the basket. Never once looks at the rim. And when you also consider that he’s a modest 6 foot 2, this dunk is extremely impressive. Even though he’s a legend in China, Starbury was a baller in the NBA as well, don’t get it twisted. 4.This is a similar style dunk and you probably know it but it’s too good not to put it in. Look at this! Back to the basket, the pass is low, but J.R. Smith displays superhuman athleticism and Madison Square Garden explodes. 5.Check out how Quincy Acy completely demolished Marcin Gortat who is a big dude himself. And no running start, that’s the most impressive thing to me here. Acy gets the rebound cocks it back and throws it in. Hey quick time out. As you may have noticed I’m posting videos throughout the entire off-season so hit the notification bell for new content almost every day. Back to the video. 6.Chris Paul is 6’1’’ and Dwight Howard is 6’11’’ and of course one of the best defenders in his heyday. Which is what makes this moment truly amazing. Chris Paul elevates and detonates with Howard on his back and the foul. 7.And speaking of 6’1’’ little guys, here’s a rare dunk from Ronnie Price who goes all over the outstretched Carlos Boozer. My goodness, what a finish but even the courage to go up chest to chest against a big man like this is wild. Shoutout to Ronnie Price. 8.I’m putting this one just for fun just because this is the only time that JJ Barea was seen dunking in the NBA. At 5’10’’, and by no means an extremely athletic guy, he doesn’t have an in-game dunk under his belt. The closest thing to it is this moment right here but as you can see, it was unsuccessful. However it’s nice that we do have proof that he could actually dunk. 9.Saving the best for last. J.R. Smith is out of his mind. I’ve never seen a 360 alley oop like this one, and to be honest there’s a reason. You need to be crazy enough to even think about pulling this off. I never see this in the compilations of best dunks, so I needed to show it to you. Smith is also one of those guys with incredible highlight tape when it comes to dunks. So look him up. Let me know how many of these you knew and which one was your favorite. Again, hit the notification bell for new videos throughout this entire off season. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
