The G LEAGUE Player That Carried The Heat To The Finals... 

What I was just thinking 😂😂😂

true. first year im a bum. third year im averaging 37ppg on 46% from 3. Not trynna flex, i bet everybody can do that.. dribble-stepback-3.. repeat. I just wanna strengthen ur point

Oh.. really? He cnt shoot against the nuggets 😅

@@zephunion k, who?

The draft isn’t overrated, player development is underrated. My edit is I forgot to add that player development is "underrated"

@@Shortballa11 Nah, that’s false. Players drafted in the second round can be just as good as many first round picks if you help them put in the work. Of course, getting a high draft pick for large upside players like Victor Wembanyama is also important, but don’t act like player development doesn’t mean a thing. Hell, even players like Wemby ARE going to need development when they enter the league.

@@Shortballa11if player development is overrated explain the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets currently being in the finals lmao their rosters aren’t full of high draft picks just guys who they developed and some veterans Jokic just won MVP back to back as a second round pick lol

@@gianniparello2632 it was just a typo. I was trying to say the draft is great, but it means more to actually develop your players

@@peamut547 Yea it was just a typo, i forgot to put development is "underrated". If teams did a better job at developing their draft talent they would actually turn out better. Like they let Ben simmons do whatever he wanted and look how that turned out. He had all the talent and upside in the world

He is Injured

Wasnt cody even the better of the 2 when they were together? Not sure tho, I just seem to remember it that way

​@Who Cares no he was the worse brother. Classic hornets organization to keep the worse one😂

@@garrettshort7920 you probably right I mist have judt remembered the 1 hornets game I watched where Cody ended up being better 😂. Not like I am going to watch hornets anyway, not into self harm

@@garrettshort7920 nah, Cody was the better player. Caleb has surpassed him since going to Miami but Cody had the higher potential. If he gets to Miami the same leap will happen for him. I think Cody’s stock just jumped tremendously, every contender is about to try and trade for him. If I’m Miami, I’m trading Tyler Herro for PJ Washington and Cody Martin and I’m making Caleb Martin my starting SG.

Ngl I feel so bad for Cody dude got left in the dust 😂 heat need to sign him up and get the twins back together

@@Zaghzackiohe got left in poverty

They really did seem to play really hard when I watched Hornets play

​@@disispeterdoesn't help he was injured the entire season

Oh wow, I remember that! I googled those twins because of their game against the Hawks back then! I actually never pieced together that this is THAT guy.

😂😂

Dribbling took to Jaylen Brown out of the series

Yes idk wat is this whole thing of Jimmy being carried 😂😂

Yeah.. but he is Himmy Buckets. Nontheless Caleb stepped up big time, mans deserves like a mini-finals-mvp. Hope he gets a bag

Yes Sir. Highsmith played great given minutes as well as Omer. I think we might see more Omer facing much taller Denver team.

Omer and Caleb both were NC state wolfpack teammates before going into their respective drafts 😮

Nikola Jovic

I agree

Herro is better to the heat coming off the bench.

Yeah Cody is a good playmaker and defender I still think he can impact a team if he can get healthy

Got confused with caleb as the defender but it was actually cody lol

​@@tj5180 Maybe that was true in HS/college, but Caleb is the better defender now; check out their respective FiveThirtyEight RAPTOR stats. That narrative has kept being repeated with nothing to back it up, as three out of the four years they've been in the league, Caleb's defensive rating has been higher than Cody's. Cody is still the playmaker/facilitator out of the two, able to be a floor general when needed. He's always gotten twice as many assists as Caleb.

He's not some or a complimentary Player anymore He's slowly morphing into a Scottie pippen type of 2nd option

100% 😂

​@@moresportinglogically4420 Martin did not carry the team y'all sound like straight casuals saying that do better

Spurs as well

I'm sorry what gem have the Lakers found lately

@@johnwatkins6321 austin reaves?

​@@fusioncannon but that's nowhere the consistently level of the other team. That's one of how many??? Remember Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin, Max strus, Gabe Vincent, Derrick Jones jr We're all undrafted players. Your comment makes no sense if you're just saying one player put Lakers in the category of Miami Heat Spurs and Golden State. A typical Lakers fan nonsense.

​@@elderassassin9673 Lakers drafted julius randle, brandon ingram, alex caruso, jordan clarkson, etc. Everyone I mentioned have made NBA career awards, so no it's not some "Lakers fan nonsense" you just not that smart.

Well, his paycheck just earned it himself several extra zeros at the end. Dammit if we keep developing talent, we can’t afford them anymore!

You take butler out the team and this team would lose by 40 or more. Butler was so impactful and was doubled team all game which allowed Martin to score. Butler was guarding the best player, rebounding and screening. There’s more to basketball than points. People don’t watch basketball and clearly don’t play it bro. This guy is a 2k RU-vidr bro

@@mycole1990 and butler can't win without martin, if that open shot wont fall its over. team effort that's miami.

@@junelcapin9190 nah bro get out with that stupid shit

@@junelcapin9190 Just like Jordan can't win without Pippen. There's nothing wrong with being the 2nd option tk a star player if it brings success

​@@mycole1990 finally someone people with sense

This is facts. Ppl forgot Jimmy running the offense, always guarding the best player, averaging 4 steals, and always doing the clutch scoring

Bc he was more consistent

​@@magicsam8247 MCP Oh wait it doesn't make sense Yeah Jimmy is the MVP Literally you have to go out of your way to look for exceptions to find cases in which NBA awarded anyone for efficiency or consistency over plain and simple best stats and best player

This is the thing, people who think he could have get it over Butler aren't checking the stats. Their WATCHING the GAMES. Nobody said Jimmy didn't deserve it, ofc he did he was awesome. But Martin was awesome too and there is an argument for him IF YOU WATCH THE GAMES

​@@magicsam8247 Jimmy legit lead the team in scoring, assist and steals in the series and when Jimmy played good the team won. Calab only had 1 really impactful game and Jimmy still out scored him and had more assist and steals.

and the gym references for Caleb was how he was picked up...we all know how Kobe was like with the gym

I only know him bc 2k this year 😂

for the most part, difficult to play since his offense is bad, but hes been a top tier defender all year. If he develops a 37-40% 3pt he'll be a premium role player in the nba.

@@georgeguerra2461 the Heat be finding them man. Absolutely crazy.

His defensive numbers against Tatum are solid. He models his game after PJ Tucker...has a ways to go but made huge progress this season.

@@Miles_305 had no idea who he was, but leave it to Miami to find him

OR be ready to have a 6th man carreer, if he embraces it and works towards it why not be the Manu Ginobili of this generation

@@95yazid Because with Herro as asset they can get an actual real point guard to pair up with Jimmy and Caleb

they were one of the most respected teams in the 90's, even their apparel was in hot demand. i remember Mugsey Bogues, "Zo", Larry Johnson, Dell Curry, even more... all i can remember since then with the team is MJ ruined it with bad decisions and probably a dictator style leadership which led to Hornets players being too afraid to show their true selves.

Yeah... Hero is a 20 ppg player. The only difference is that he's expected to do that. Martin is a big under dog story that people love to see. Herro would've done the same thing if not more since we have seen Herro ether the Celtics.

​@@calebhoffman6368 Herro would shoot erratic shots, create turnovers and Play bad defence. Caleb played great, did not rush shots, small ammount of tournovers and good defence. Thanks to Herro there was one more player WHO benefited. Duncan Robinson and I havent seen Duncan playing do good past two years. Cutting, creating, fighting.

Dudes narrative driven just tryna make the clout by making stupid takes

@@calebhoffman6368ppg doesn’t matter if you don’t play defense. Turn the ball over, and don’t shoot at high efficiency. Caleb having 60/48/88 splits on 11 attempts a game while playing much better defense is infinitely more valuable than anything herro would have brought to the table.

NAh watch the games, he created his own hype, all credits to the work he put in Maybe he will fall down, maybe he will stay at this level or even exceed it idc I'll remember this run by Miami and how much he contributed

@@95yazid i watched the game last night, Miami dominated and Caleb Martin had like 25 points if i remember right. You’re right he did create the hype very deservedly. I was simply commenting on how fast this league and its fans build up a player. The guys probably going to get the bag this off-season because of it. More power to him

@@NotodayUrsidae As long as you're not trying to discredit him with it, go on and say whatever you want about the fans, we are awful and definitely need a reality check once in a while

@@NotodayUrsidae Do you remember his shot to end the 3Q? Personnaly that's the moment that made me say "Wait? is this guy a HIM?" probably not but daaaamn!

​@@95yazid Dude had 1 good game and a ok series and acting like he's been doing this the whole playoffs 😂 in the first 2 series he averaged 10 points per game

He's scottie pippen to Jimmy's Michael Jordan At this point Riley should consider shilling off Bam and Herro and surrounding those two with better pieces

I echo your choice of words. Great story by the narrator

More rebounds and more steals Being the closer Guarded Tatum Caleb himself doesn't want to win it over Jimmy I think people just like being contrarian

@@tpsam no, it’s that people don’t realize how empty stats can really be as a measurement of value. 28 ppg on 42% shooting is way worse than 19 ppg on 60/48/88 splits. Value in basketball is so much more than just “this player averaged 28 7 7 clearly he is better” because the context surrounding those averages is infinitely more important than the stats themselves. And the context is that butler had the ball 10 times as much as martin and didn’t do nearly as much in comparison to the amount of opportunities he had. Butler had a great game one, but in games 2 and 3 played objectively worse than Martin in 2 who shot 11 of 16 to butlers 12 of 25 and Vincent in 3 who ended up with 29 on good efficiency compared to butlers 14 on mediocre efficiency. Butler outright sold games 4, 5, and 6. And in game 7 shot 12 of 28 from the field where martin shot 11 of 16 from the field. The context is that butler had a great game one, ok game 2 and 7 while martin created a ton of value out of only 11 attempts a game and arguably played better in 5 out of those 7 games

Martin had an absurd offensive rating and crazy shooting splits. Basically, the star of the team always gets those individual awards, Kobe over Gasol in 2010 is a good example. But make no mistake about it: There was a strong case that Martin deserves it, but Jimmy isn't undeserving, mainly because of his defense. But I think both players couldn't care less about a ECF MVP

You don’t know ball

@@_Ty6 nah you dont know ball

Jokes on you, Ben Simmons can't even f****** shoot and he's in NBA lol

It's a lot smoother than b4, he's not swinging his legs as much

The key is without Iggy in the starting five they were losing With him on the starting five they won the series Jimmy did that for Miami When Jimmy is hot they win He is the leader

Nah he's Scottie Pippen

That's what a Pippen is suppose to do for his Jordan

i don't think you can have embarrassment even if you lose in the first round, cos in all fact the Miami Heat were an 8th seed (the worst record of the EAST playoff teams for the season).

@@mentalasylumescapee6389 go back to your looney bin

they already said that when they face milwaukee and gives 3% chance to beat boston but look where they are now.😂😂 just enjoy the game anything can happen

That would be dope

You think Charlotte is gonna let go of Cody after seeing his bro balling in the ECF

@@damienbutts9611 it’s his brother, not the same player. Look at Gianni’s brothers look, plus heat could get a couple good players from Charlotte if they want to trade

Plus don’t overhyped him either, he’s having a good playoff run, doesn’t mean he’ll be able to do this all season

No it wouldn't make sense the teams is good how it is.

bro u need to see a doctor there's too much salt in your blood

No, if it wasn’t for Erik Spoelstra. They on paper are the least talented team in the whole playoffs. They played a guy named Haywood Highsmith game 6 and 7. Spoelstra is a genius

True but without jimmy they aren’t even in the playoffs

@@Shortballa11 I've always liked him. I didn't like the teams with Wade, Bosh, Bron but I always liked him. Jimmy Butler is easy to root for. So is Max and Caleb. It's a fun team. I can't wait! Nuggets Heat baby! It's a win/win for me!

@@grantwileyesq.5962 100% agree. Im just looking forward to a good series

I think we can all agree we should say "If the Heat weren't a great organization from top to bottom, the Heat would prolly be over by now"
