00:00Yes, sir. I'm gonna ask you if you know this player because prior to a couple games ago
00:04I had no idea who the hell he was. Okay, Josh Christopher. Nope. No idea, right?
00:10He's on the Miami Heat summer league had an amazing performance two games ago with 20 points yesterday
00:15Put up 23 points three rebounds to assist in a steal point guard. I
00:21Believe he is a point guard. It's not a shooting guard. I got to tell you
00:24Yeah, we have a lot of point guards that ball out in the summer league
00:28Mm-hmm in G League only to get to the heat and score three points and don't take any shots exactly
00:34That's fair that we call that the Cal hour and it's always a position
00:37We need more need right at that right now
00:39I need you to see this though in which it's not anything that's like fluke or you know
00:44He's not just hitting open shots. He's athletic
00:47He has the ability to put it down and also he has a dog in him, which is why I played who let the dogs out
00:53Uh, you'll see based off of this video highlight package the Miami Heat social media team put together
00:59How quickly he's able to put these points up and how back-to-back?
01:04I want you to keep an eye on the score as these highlights continue to run of how you see
01:08We're in the fourth quarter here with about nine minutes left
01:11He has the ability to come off the dribble stop and pop for a three great
01:15Now they're up 78 to 57 games in hand for sure still at 78 next possession there
01:21He gets it comes around the screen again another stop and pop two threes back-to-back
01:26These aren't I need to be standing still threes. This is coming off of various screens. Now you see they have 81 points
01:33Same thing Khalil where sets a screen stop and pop for three now up to 84
01:39He scored the last nine points for the Miami Heat and now you see again the Miami Heat's
01:4584 points the next opportunity gets a dime dish
01:49That's him on the dunk on the receiving end of that
01:52So you can already see this is someone who doesn't need to rely on the three-point he cuts
01:57He can get the ball. He can get it done without the ball and then you can't leave him open either another three-point there
02:04He's continuing to score all the Miami. He's a two-guard. Did you see him trying to one of my favorite parts?
02:15I mean like he's he's being defended very well in the corner. They're still
02:23This is all in the fourth quarter, by the way with about nine minutes left
02:27He's going off the game is in hand for sure
02:29But it's it definitely shows you that beyond the top draft picks that we expect, you know that that wasn't clearly aware
02:36That wasn't Pella Larson or Keisha Johnson
02:40That was another diamond in the rough or the diamond in the rough for the Miami Heat
02:45That gives me Goosey's girl, I would say this
02:48Goosey's galore. We see a lot of that in
02:52Summer ball. So do do it against the big boys, right?
02:57Fair for sure fair, but just like the Miami Dolphins or other teams that come across
03:04Power pop our powder puffs or
03:07these these soft
03:10Schedule are these players that you're supposed to beat or these teams are supposed to beat the good teams beat them
03:16For those that come out here and they're struggling and you know, maybe they'll have an opportunity to grow into something better
03:23but in order to be great you have to start off beating the competition around you and
03:28So far this guy was not on anybody's radar and where do you go to school?
03:35Broward College
03:37Really? No, that'd be great
03:39Wow
03:43It was a Seahawks or something like that I'm saying when when when you said nobody knows
03:49Who he is. That's why I asked where he went to college
03:52What's crazy is I google it and it says Oh
03:55Arizona State
03:59So he's a six foot four like a two-guard to guard
04:03Yeah, right. He had a 20 points in the fourth made six three-pointers
04:10And I
04:11mean, he seems to be making a name for himself the Miami Heat always have that one player that does this like you mentioned but I
04:18Don't know man. I'm seeing nothing but good things and
04:22this is another season in which the Miami Heat fan has to reluctantly run it back and
04:27if the Miami he have any chance at going further than they did last year, it's gonna rely on depth and
04:33Obviously health but
04:35These young players are gonna have to play a bigger role than they normally would have and that's honestly the primary thing
04:40I'm looking forward to about this coming season with a team that you know on paper probably shouldn't be the contending
04:46But I am looking forward to watching the development of I may Hawkins jr
04:51I'm looking forward to watching another year with Jovich. I'm looking forward to watching BAM again
04:57Maybe this dude is somebody to watch out for as well. It was named Christopher Josh Christopher. Remember the name wait if
05:04You're running it back and you're looking forward to all these young players. That's less of an incentive to extend Jimmy, right?
05:12Because if they pan out, yeah
05:15Yeah
05:16Yeah, but I think if the Heat have major successes here
05:19I don't think you're paying Jimmy Butler on what he potentially could be. I think you just got to go the thing
05:24Where past could be?
05:26He is what he is. Yeah, he's gonna be 35 36 years old
05:30Yeah, but this next check isn't it has to be a thank you Jimmy if it's a success that we reach
05:35It's not like hey, I think Jimmy's gonna be the leader the tone of how you do things have been set
05:40Yeah with what you did with D way
05:42That's true. It was a mistake the great. I don't care and that's thing
05:46I don't go didn't do a if that's if that's the tenor you set with older players
05:52You can't do somebody better than you did the way no
05:54But he might be right if they regret the way that that went down with D way and maybe they may not want to do
05:59That again exactly. They would have already did it. No, I mean I can understand not bury him this year there
06:05Yeah, if you wait just made him if you waiting then no, you're not
06:10Right, you're not regretting what you did with D. Wait, but what if he does that sound like Pat Riley?
06:16No have regards no, you can be a little sentimental, right? No, we can't motion can not when it's not winning
06:23Now when it comes to putting the team together and paying okay, but he admitted that was a mistake. Maybe he's
06:31Yeah
06:32But I did what I did. I'm sorry. He's matured do it and apologize mature matured
06:38In his in his 80s. He's getting yeah, he's finally found his adult voice
06:45I
06:48Cannot believe you. Why did you have us?
06:51You had us thinking she was 19. I had myself thinking that too cuz she sounds like a chipmunk
06:57She's like the chipmunk chipets
07:04When we
