Kenny really is for real because he actually talks about the Cavs unlike national media Edit: I commented this before watching the end, Kenny is actually real for a whole nother reason. God bless this man.
@@therealjordie Before the warriors won 2015 they first lost in the 2nd round in 2013 and lost 1st round 2014. The cavs have only been in the playoffs 2 times in recent years with a 1st and 2nd round exist respectively. Plus they have had constant injuries and are still a fairly younger team, we can't just chalk it down to bad playoff performers after 2 years
@@sleepy1244 it's like people don't actually watch basketball and just comment stupid shit like the Cavs can't win in the playoffs. the narrative is so old and wrong
They are the best team in the league (record wise) I’m pretty sure I’ve heard a lot of praise towards them from the national media this season. Obviously when they are mid and barely beating the magic a young team whose in there first playoff series they aren’t going to get talked about much. They failed for years to accomplish what they were should have. Now they killing it because there front office stepped up, got them a competent coach and everyone saying Boston the second best team in the east now
I really appreciate you discussing your mental health. I already go to therapy and do my best to take care of myself, but there are so many men who just don’t believe that mental health is important and for you to discuss it so openly is very impactful.
Love when kenny gets more passionate about basketball and life and this video was fire, the swearing and the passion about telling people to love one another while they have the chance. Good shit Kenny
Damn bro that last 6 minutes really hit. I've been going to the gym seriously for a little over 2 years and it's been amazing, glad to see you're taking care of your health and best of lucky Kenny. I feel like I don't let people know how I feel about them either so that last message really hit home. Love you man hope you have a great year
Your last segment was heartfelt and heartbreaking. Think it’s something that we all need to hear more. So many people touch our lives and barely know. Rest in peace to your coach.
Thank you for you opening up to us and talking about your mental health and the story about you coach, I feel like often (and sadly) we watch you guy on RUclips so often and see y’all so consistently that we forget there’s a person here along with our entertainment. Hearing you talk about this stuff really shows me you never know what people are going through now matter how happy they look through the camera or what the HAVE gone through, I appreciate you telling us those stories Kenny.
Dear Kenny, The last few minutes meant a lot to me. As a male who has dealt with an eating disorder, I would never have imagined that one of my favorite content creators would be so open about his similar struggles. Because of you and many others, I feel stronger and not ashamed. I can't thank you enough for sharing your mental health because it has a profound impact on me and, I'm sure, many others. I love this podcast, and I greatly appreciate the work you do. I hope for many blessings coming your way, and here's to a great 2025. Anthony
Man Kenny, really appreciate you talking about your coach at the end man. Inspired me to reach out and do the same with my coach, really forget about stuff like that and we take it for granted way too often
Ehh they're playing above themselves but that's why they can't be mentioned as a contender. Realistically they're closer in talent to the play in teams instead of an actual contender and don't have a true number 1 option. They're also allowing a ton of open threes, teams are just missing them that's not a good sign for them going further into the season
I don't see many real rockets fans considering this year contending. This team is still young and flawed, not winning 3-4 7 game series, but hey we sure can cause trouble and knock out some of those so-called contenders on his list lol
Kenny what if we told you YOURE the one we appreciate with all our hearts, I know for me personally your videos have helped me through hard times, the coaching stuff is cool and all but you have inspired and helped thousands of teenagers
Man those last 5 mintues or so rlly made me feel some shit Kenny, good on you for working to better yourself. You’re awesome dude, keep doing what you’re doing!
Yo Kenny I’ve been watching you since the quiz days and I just wanted to let u know that u have impacted me incredibly with ur positivity and openness about being emotional because it is stuff I really relate to and you have helped me a lot in life. Go pacers!
Kenny speaking up about mental health and eating disorders is huge and has already helped me improve over the years as you've been pretty open about it for a while. Thank you Kenny
Started watching the vid in the background of my instant ramen and had to set it aside when that last segment showed up. Just wanted to say thank you for opening up like that, especially on such a vulnerable platform. I really appreciate it, it made me realize how much of an impact my old math teacher made on me not just as a teacher but a mentor and a friend. I think I’ll reach out tomorrow and tell her how much she means to me. Much love Mr. Kenny hope you figure things out and the 2025 year goes well.
Would have loved to hear your take on the Rockets. The Jalen thumbnail was why I clicked this video to listen to at work😂. Regardless keep it up Kenny!
Just in regards to that ending monologue Kenny, First off I think we all hope coach is resting peacefully In regards to you, it's a very respectable even inspirational thing to want to make that difference in the lives of others especially those younger and developing people In ways you're already doing that and have been for a long time through the community you have here and around NOTB Now obviously these communities have a wide range of cultures and ages etc involved but I'd put money on the fact that you impact the vast majority of us in a positive way Keep doing what you're doing in that regard And from a long time listener/follower I hope 2025 is a year of progress and success for you Thank you for all you do
16:40 spread the Mobley word Kenny! Slim Duncan has that in him man, the talent is there, hes gotten better and better throughout this season. I genuinely believe the best version of this cavs team comes when EV4 finishes this leap he's on right now. I think he could be on a path to be the Cavs best player in a couple years.
Man, the end of the vid got me. Love how candid you always are man. Even though I don't do NBA content, you're a big influence on me deciding to start this RUclips channel. I'm someone with real bad anxiety problems, real bad depression problems, got bipolar disorder, but seeing someone so open about their mental health struggles and still being able to just do it meant a lot to me. Helps that you're from IL too, even though I'm a couple hours out from Chicago
Okoro didn’t play vs the lakers and he’s the Cavs best perimeter defender. Dont think that’s really a concern. Shooting regression is definitely possible tho, even tho they have already had tough shooting stretches from guys like Jerome Merrill Wade Niang and they’ve survived them all
One of the most common things that defines a bench guy in the NBA is inconsistency. Fortunately for the Cavs theyre so deep any one or two of their guys can be in a slump, and still make it rain.
brody going off. he is like a perfect fit on that team. he puts in tons of effort off ball, cuts a ton for easy buckets, and doesn't have to run the offense to mess everything up.
15:15 the Cavs didn't have their best POA defender in Isaac Okoro that night, which makes ALL the difference in how they defend the opposing team's best player. When it comes to stopping those types of hoopers, Okoro is always the guy tasked with that job and with him not there, it's all left to those 3*** guys in the frontcourt; Mobley, Allen, and Wade.
These are phenomenal resolutions!! Good luck with your health and mental health. I guarantee that coach knows how much of an impact he had on you, even though you didn’t get to tell him.
Kenny remember the clippers played a lot of iso ball with James harden it’s easy to sag off on non shooters you can’t do that with players moving all the time
just got around to watching this. RIP coach. amazing message at the end, shit hit so deep. wishin you the best of luck towards your goals for 2025 and hope everyone achieves their goals. Happy new year yall.
Your content has helped me so much with my own mental health struggles over the years. Thank you for being vulnerable and putting so much positive energy into the world. Wishing all the best for you and your family in the future
I love the message at 45:00 great vibes man mentally physically and emotionally health for you is great. And letting people know how much they matter to you.
I think besides maybe the bucks in 2022 that there’s a clear difference between this years Celtics and those other teams that are trying to repeat. 1st being roster continuity, that’s a rare thing for teams trying to repeat to have and they do and the 2nd is they’re still one of the best teams in the nba despite being less healthy than they were last season at this point. I truly won’t make a final judgement on if they’ve regressed or not until the playoffs start
New up and coming teams are rarely a serious contender lol , grizzlies a few years ago - 1st round exit Thunder last year- 2nd round exit Kings 2 years ago- first round exit It’s their first playoff series lol they will most likely be a first or 2nd round out.
As a guy that's 5'10" and 125lbs for ~8 years (no increase or decrease) it's been kinda frustrating not seeing any growth. There was a time when I was drinking around 7 cans of pop a day (it'll supposedly make you fat) but those were my skinniest years. Idk man. I've just come to love my body the way it is. Be healthy sure, but health is more than just a number (in this case body weight)
I don’t know the exact numbers. But over that 5-5 stretch the Celtics still had an elite (I believe top 5) defense, except for in clutch time where their defense fell off a cliff. I genuinely believe that’s an outlier and the Celtics will get back on track. I’m not too worried about them.
I'm not particularly worried either. To me it honestly looked like they were playing conservative with their energy. That's also part of why their bench has been going crazy the last few games.
Agreed. This is an amazing era of basketball. Its SOOO much fun to watch these games. But its also exposing A LOT of "fans" who dont understand the sport nearly as well as they thought they did.
as a cavs fan i do agree that the point of attack can be an issue at times. however, that lakers game was the 2nd night of a road back to back and wed been missing our primary poa guy (okoro) for about a week at that point
Kenny really is for real because he actually talks about the Cavs unlike national media
Edit: I commented this before watching the end, Kenny is actually real for a whole nother reason. God bless this man.
The big question for the Cavs is, can they do it in the playoffs? This is the same team basically that usually crumbles when it's go time

By far & away the best perimeter defender.
One of the most common things that defines a bench guy in the NBA is inconsistency.
Fortunately for the Cavs theyre so deep any one or two of their guys can be in a slump, and still make it rain.
even if they regress by 5% they still be shooting around 37%. I'll take that
