The Street Trippin’ Present, hosted by Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Allie Clifton, calls itself “the premiere podcast for entertaining and insightful NBA tales advised immediately by your favourite gamers.”
The trio has a podcast and video is posted on YouTube (and I’m certain all different kinds of social media), and earlier this week, they’d visitor Chet Holmgren with them to debate quite a lot of subject.
Scorching on Richard Jefferson’s thoughts was to inform Holmgren — and everybody else for that matter — that he had supported the previous Gonzaga Bulldog for this season’s Rookie of the Yr honors.
In explaining why Hologram was a extra deserving Rookie of the Yr than Victor Wembanyama:
“I do know the stress that it comes with once you’re on a group that’s battling and competing for one thing each single night time. To do this as a rookie in 82. My beliefs have been if you happen to would have been on the San Antonio Spurs, the numbers that you’d have put up would have been equally as ridiculous.”
Holmgren’s “rookie” marketing campaign (he missed his true rookie season after being drafted 2nd general in 2022) yielded 16.5 factors, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and a couple of.3 per sport. He ranked fifth within the league behind Wemby, Walker Kessler, Brook Lopez, and Anthony Davis.
By comparability, Wembanyama averaged 21.4 factors, 10.6 rebounds and three.9 assists, and a league-leading 3.6 blocks per sport.
Wembanyama took the Rookie of the Yr award after receiving a landslide 99 first-place votes and 495 factors, however Holmgren completed in second place with 295 complete factors.
Mr. “The” Jefferson, it’s one factor to bolster your visitor, however to create a scorching take supported by an obscure comparability to make it sound remotely viable is pushing it.
Discover how Holmgren did every thing to keep away from taking the bait? It appears there is no animosity in the place he landed. In spite of everything, he made it to the playoffs in his rookie season.
