Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about these basketball fellas, the ones the youngsters are all gaga over. They call ’em the “hottest NBA players,” I reckon. Hot like a summer day in the fields, I guess. Don’t know much about basketball, but I hear folks chatterin’.
So, who are these hotshots? Well, there’s this Shai Gilgeous-Alexander fella. Plays for OKC, whatever that is. Folks say he’s good, scorin’ all them points. Nineteen, twenty-five, they say. Sounds like a lot to me. He’s a point guard, they tell me. Means he runs around with the ball a lot, I figure. Kinda like a chicken with its head cut off, but probably more organized.
Then there’s Trae Young. Plays for Atlanta, or ATL as the young’uns say. He’s another one of them point guards. Seems like everyone wants to be a point guard these days. He’s got somethin’ called GTD, whatever that means. Maybe he’s got a bad knee or somethin’. Hope he ain’t hurtin’ too bad. Old age ain’t fun, lemme tell ya.
And don’t forget about James Harden. He plays for the Clippers, down in Los Angeles. He’s been around a while, I hear. A real veteran, like me, ha! He’s another point guard, see? Told ya they’re popular.
- Tyrese Haliburton plays for Indiana, that’s IND on them scoreboards. Another point guard! These fellas are everywhere.
- Dyson Daniels, he plays for ATL too, sometimes a point guard, sometimes a shooting guard. Two jobs, that boy’s busy!
- Tyus Jones, he just went to Phoenix, PHX they call it. He’s a point guard too, these young point guards are popping out all over the places like rabbits in the springtime I tell you what.
Now, they talk about these players bein’ “hot” or “cold.” Sounds like the weather, don’t it? If a player is hot, it means he’s playin’ good, scorin’ all them points and whatnot. If he’s cold, well, he ain’t doin’ so hot. Simple as that. Like bakin’ biscuits, some days they rise up nice and fluffy, some days they’re flat as a pancake.
Some of these fellas, they’re young, just startin’ out. They call ‘em “Rising Stars.” Reminds me of the corn in spring, all green and full of promise. Then there’s the “All-Stars,” the ones who’ve been around a while, the best of the best, I guess. Like the prize-winning pumpkins at the county fair, big and strong.
I heard tell of Jayson Tatum. Folks were buzzin’ about him on openin’ night. Scored a whole heap of points, they said. Thirty-seven, plus some other fancy number they call a “double-double.” Don’t know what that means, but it sounds important. Like gettin’ two helpings of pie at the church picnic.
And then there’s the smooth talkers, the ones who look good doin’ what they do. Like this fella, Paul George. They say he’s the smoothest player in the league, glidin’ around like a hawk in the sky. Smooth as butter, they say. Reminds me of my grandson tryin’ to sweet-talk his way outta chores.
There are other things folks talk about too. Like how tall these players are. Some of ‘em are giants, seven foot somethin’! Taller than the corn stalks in my field, I swear. There was this Romanian fella, Gheorghe Mureșan, even taller than that, seven-foot-seven! Imagine tryin’ to find shoes that big! And there’s Kelly Oubre Jr., don’t know much about his playing but I heard his name mentioned a lot too. He’s from New Orleans, Louisiana, they say. Must be hot down there.
And some of these fellas even got pretty wives. Like this Isaiah Hartenstein fella, plays for Oklahoma now, married a model he met on that Instagram thingamajig. Moved to Oklahoma and had a baby boy. Good for them, I say. Family’s important, even if you’re a hotshot basketball player.
So, that’s the lowdown on these “hottest NBA players,” as far as I can tell. They run around, throw a ball, score points, and folks get all excited. Seems like a lot of fuss to me, but hey, to each their own, I always say. As long as they ain’t stealin’ chickens or tearin’ up my garden, I reckon they’re alright.
