We’re smack dab in the middle of the freakin NBA finals and Nick is out here doing 2022 Houston Rockets previews. This dude is on a whole nother planet than us mere mortals lmao
A lot of people underrate our picks from Brooklyn if they not healthy next year and somebody of the big three leaves the rockets are huge winners of the trade
@@gcburns4 I mean he was playing with g-leaguers as well and flashed the ability to be an efficient scorer (I mean bro only missed like 5 shots in a 50 point game on drue fucking holiday). Obviously he needs to work on efficiency and taking better shots, but we’ve seen him play as an elite scorer, solid defense, and good playmaking. He’s only going into his third year, so the efficiency jump should come with time.
Kpj and Jalen Green/Evan Mobley will be an instant great young duo. Also john wall will be able to mentor the rookies and porter, and hopefully allow them to become hawks-like in the development of their young core.
@Lucas Sinclair i mean they would make the perfect rebuild imagine getting Cade, Kpj for free, wood for free, Tate for free, kj Martin we bought the kings pick and draft him at 52 and all the Brooklyn picks that can turn good cuz the nets can’t stay healthy. Going for harden to Cade in less than in a year
Nick I just wanted to say that I always love your energy in your videos because it just feels like you’re so real with us it’s just so candid and I love that
The thing people forget about the rockets is this before we had THIRTEEN PLAYERS injured mostly of them starters. We had a 10 game win streak and a pretty solid defense. I’m gonna wait until this season before I get a consensus of Stephen Silas coaching ability.
The cool part about this particular nba UA-camr from Detroit is he talks about topics I see no one else talking about. As a heat fan the pistons hold a place in my heart from those early 2000's battles!
i remember watching Kevin Porter jr highlights before the draft and saying to myself this dude a hidden gem. i don’t know how so many teams passed on him. he had crazy scoring potential
i have been thinking this exact thing right after i heard the rockets kept their 1st round pick, Wall, KPJ, KMJ, Tate, Wood, Mobley Olynyk looks really good
I played ball in high school and for a couple years in college, haven't kept up with the NBA much in recent years since I stopped playing. Just listening to you talk is more interesting to me than the basketball. You just have the natural ability to be someone whose job is to talk sports
this type of video is so random and such like a simple video but bro ur tangents and commentary is super entertaining, ur super knowledgable and its j clear u love to talk abt this stuff i really fuck w ur videos man
One thing a lot of people forget about was how the Houston Rockets were a top 5 defense and how Christian Wood was the MIP front runner before he got hurt. It sucked at first, but that actually led us to landing Jalen Green. Life is so funny.
Here from Clutchfans: Strong standup comdian vibe. Needs a brick wall background and a stool with a glass of water. (Also, Steven Adams long lost brother)
You’re right. KPJ’s stint in the G League was specifically designed to turn him into a PG (and work out any character/conditioning issues before he got called back up). Stone and Silas have had their eyes on his playmaking potential and they were keeping an eye on Cleveland all year before they made the move. The scouting and development staff of the Rockets has been really underrated. I’m glad to see them getting recognition. Looking forward to what the Pistons do this year as well! You and Krispy have gotten me invested in Detroit’s success. Here’s to a good season 🙌🏾
i have been high on KPJ for so long. all kinds of potential for him to blossom into a star, not guaranteeing it or anything, a lot can happen, but it’s there and more than possible
Houston fan; huge C.Wood fan after only a short time. It'll be interesting after everyone sees a full rockets team play if KPJ will stay this wild to watch. Skill will be there but the better on- baal defense may be too.
Yup been saying this for a few weeks once I started paying attention to the draft. If Houston drafts Jalen Green...him and KPJ are gonna be a problem!!
I remember actually being excited for rockets after the harden trade. On paper they had Wall, Oladipo, Wood, Cousins, Gordon, PJ, and just picked up KPJ for nothing... I've never jumped ship quicker lol.
Houston is gonna be a team that you're going watch because it's fun to, not high expectations but not boring enough of a team to keep you out of the loop of what they do with their players and pieces
The issues with Kevin Porter Jr. were *never* about his ability on the basketball court. As a Cleveland guy, we watched in horror as he slowly self-sabotaged his prospects here. Getting pulled over in a bad part of Youngstown, Ohio, with guns in his vehicle. Creating issues in the locker room ranging from not listening to coaches to throwing a fit & screaming at the GM because he didn't like the location of his locker. He was only here a year and it became untenable. You might argue, "well, he just wanted out of Cleveland," which might be fair if he hadn't of had the same issues in college. Personal problems are the reason he wasn't a lottery pick and the Cavs took a flier on him in the latter part of the first round. When he was on the court for the Cavs, though, he was fantastic. I really like Darius Garland and I think -- at least right now before we get one of Green/Mobley -- Garland is our best young talent, but KPJ was right there with Garland as a guy with the potential to be as good as he wanted. The point is, I'll believe KPJ is "fixed" when he is able to keep himself out of trouble for more than 6 months. I wish him the best in Houston, but don't be surprised if he starts sabotaging himself again. It is what he does.
Jae’sean is definitely better right now only because he more well rounded, but saddiq certainly has the ability to also raise his efficiency and develop better playmaking skills, and eventually surpass Tate because of his scoring
To my understanding, we didnt let Wood go. He dipped after we saved his career because he didnt want to be here (if someone knows something I dont, please feel free to correct me). I dont miss him at all.
I hate to compare the two for obvious reasons, but he reminds me so much of Harden when he first got to H-Town. I just hope he doesn’t abandon the mid-range like Harden did. That might be the most dangerous part of his game right now in my opinion.
Don’t worry about offending Rockets fans. They don’t even know who you are. Not to be mean, I really like Star Wars (as my younger self), but I didn’t know what I was watching until it hit me, “that’s right, he’s not from Texas.” Seriously though, you’re pretty entertaining, for a motor mouth! I’M KIDDING! Keep talking Rockets (who isn’t) and I’ll keeping hitting “Like.” (By the way, I’ve been a Rockets fan for 45 years, so I had to say something.)
As a Rockets fan that watched every game in like the past 5 years. KPJ play reminds me so much of James Harden. He's a good playmaker, he's a strong finisher, and he can shoot the ball. One of the only issues with KPJ is that he CANNOT play well alongside another guard like Wall. This is because of his inexperience. I used to pray that Wall didn't play at times because KPJ would do something like 20 and 10 everytime. And Wall is my favorite PG of All-Time.
Who else just randomly discovered this guy one day and can’t stop watching?
Everyone
dude got in my recommended feed once and never left after that, noahs just awesome
I came from rusty buckets and the same
Rusty put me on him when he started. Check rusty buckets out too
And rustys second channel also rusty buckets
Just check both channels
We’re smack dab in the middle of the freakin NBA finals and Nick is out here doing 2022 Houston Rockets previews. This dude is on a whole nother planet than us mere mortals lmao
The 2021 one being an injury cup definitely helps that, and helps the NBA fans digesting anything else.
The Rockets have a bright future KPJ Tate Martin Jr Wood and Green are going to be a nice building core
A lot of people underrate our picks from Brooklyn if they not healthy next year and somebody of the big three leaves the rockets are huge winners of the trade
My only thing is how old of a rookie tate is and it makes Houston feel like they have 2 timelines
KPJ played in 26 games, had a .526 TS, went 4-22 with an average margin of loss coming by 15 ppg. Lots of ability, but I just can't with him yet
@@gcburns4 Context definitely doesn't matter.

As a Houston rockets fan, I appreciate this video
Only this guy would be talking about the rockets after one of the best nba finals games in History
Recency bias is crazy rn
Cuz rockets da best 😤😤
it wasn’t even close to one of the best finals ever
Nick is the type of guy that just before he dies he'll tell his grandkids I left 1 million dollars under the... and just go LMAO
@Genius Expert aren’t u the guy who has been hating on him since his channel started blowing up, you really have some dedication to being a hater.
@Genius Expert ratio bozo
This exactly. I was sold when he said I could call him Adam Morrison (here in eastern WA) lol
@Genius Expert Why you hating on Kenny too, get a life
enzinho he’s just a troll bruh, report his channel and move on. These type of people seeks attention, they don’t got nothing in their life but hate
I am inspired by Noah since I'm also new to UA-cam. Give him the ROTY award already! He always create a fun and worth watching content
I do not speak your language but your thumbnails are good, and the content seems good as well, you're gonna grow
@@elivandrisse I appreciate it! Thank you 🙏🙏
“Ummmmmmm, so I also wanted to say this”

Thanks Nick I appreciate it

Kpj and Jalen Green/Evan Mobley will be an instant great young duo. Also john wall will be able to mentor the rookies and porter, and hopefully allow them to become hawks-like in the development of their young core.
Assuming wall doesn’t let his ego get in the way and still see himself as the star of the team and the future
@@therandomkingofanything4654 i think wall is realizing he’s not a star anymore
@@_4ui12 you never know bro, schroder thinks he’s wort 100 mil.
KPJ and Green duo would be everything we wanted Harden and Russ to be.
Someone needs to count how many times he brings up Detroit and Cade lmao
I mean he’s a Detroit fan and it’s the first time in forever they’ve had the 1st overall
It's ok to be jealous
@Lucas Sinclair i mean they would make the perfect rebuild imagine getting Cade, Kpj for free, wood for free, Tate for free, kj Martin we bought the kings pick and draft him at 52 and all the Brooklyn picks that can turn good cuz the nets can’t stay healthy.

Who wouldn’t lol. It’s Cade Cunningham
@@_shl_6103 Yh we should draft green, jt Thor and Jared green
As a rockets fan,
We will be on the phone for Cade harder now due to this video.
Sincerely
“All they had to do was pay for shipping” 😂😂
KPJ and Jalen Green, would be a fun backcourt 👀 👀
I love how he tries to be objective and stay on point but it just keeps coming back to how excited he is that Cade is going to Detroit, it's great!
THANK YOU!!!! As a Rockets fan, I'm glad at least someone is recognizing the new potential
You're the best man, actually. The energy and comedy and sincerity you bring to every video is why people genuinely love you.
I love how you just cut your videos off without wrapping it up its hilarious even tho I want to know what you also wanted to say
Nick I just wanted to say that I always love your energy in your videos because it just feels like you’re so real with us it’s just so candid and I love that

The Jaylon Brown point hits every time
6:43 love the Kenny reference
I really have to thank Rusty Buckets for recommending this channel
Right. Got here at 6k and his channel has quickly exploded
best part about Nic is how he describes a player's play style or a team's situation as cute
The cool part about this particular nba UA-camr from Detroit is he talks about topics I see no one else talking about. As a heat fan the pistons hold a place in my heart from those early 2000's battles!
can’t wait to say that i’ve been watching this guy since his first video
i remember watching Kevin Porter jr highlights before the draft and saying to myself this dude a hidden gem. i don’t know how so many teams passed on him. he had crazy scoring potential
The fact that the Cavs gave up on KPJ and now he’s a franchise player is heartbreaking as a Cavs fan
It's the Cleveland curse I'm sorry my guy.
i have been thinking this exact thing right after i heard the rockets kept their 1st round pick,
Wall, KPJ, KMJ, Tate, Wood, Mobley Olynyk looks really good
I played ball in high school and for a couple years in college, haven't kept up with the NBA much in recent years since I stopped playing. Just listening to you talk is more interesting to me than the basketball. You just have the natural ability to be someone whose job is to talk sports
I love how you cover the teams most media won’t ever mention, it’s really dope!
“In the KPJ deal, basically all they had to do was pay for shipping”
Dude. This killed me I was laughing out loud pretty hard
“Rafael Stone has had terrible asset management”
1 minute later: “KPJ might be a franchise player”
That was very clearly about the Harden trade specifically lol
@@kid-1551 actually if the harden trade didn't happen prince doesn't end up in Cleveland and KPJ never throws food.
sheesh 100k comin hella soon, congrats my dude, keep up the lub work
I came because of John wall everyone’s forgotten him I’m glad you’re talking about houston
Already a legend on the UA-cam game! Respect and good vibes form Brazil!

Smoothest intro ad roll u r a genius 😤
i have been high on KPJ for so long. all kinds of potential for him to blossom into a star, not guaranteeing it or anything, a lot can happen, but it’s there and more than possible
He really pulled out the 'end the video in the middle of saying something' from Funky. This guys is all the best NBA YTs combined XD

This is the only social media I have but I’d love to talk basketball with this guy. Seems like it’d be a good conversation every time
Rox fans are loving KPJ and rooting hard for him. Great potential. Fun fun fun player

Didn’t know I cared about KPJ and the rockets rebuild till now, bloody motown
Porter takes his time with a herk/jerk very unpredictable movement to break down defenses
As a Cavs fan, I’m sad the rockets got KPJ for a bag of chips but I hope the best for him. Rockets fans definitely have some fun bball ahead of them
Cheers to rebuild bros Pistons! Hope we become a rivalry with Cade vs Green for years to come
You and a Kenny collab would be something crazy! Btw Houston winning a title before Detroit😂🤘 all love💯💯
Cade will win his first chip in 2027 helping Joker and Murray get downhill to finish off a 4-peat mid -decade-dynasty.
See u then Cade😈
