This is an IHeart podcast.

You're tuned in to Heat Check with Trista Crick.

On this episode of the Heat Check, we're back in studio, folks.

It is a new year.

And the NBA, NBA is out of control right now.

Like, it just really is.

Things are happening.

So we're going to get into it. We're going to get into the best team in the NBA that nobody gives the fuck about. It's Denver Nuggets. Like, has anyone said a peep about the Denver Nuggets number one team in the West? No. Has anybody said a peep about Yoko? that he's playing better basketball than he has in the two years that he won the MVP? No. Why?

Because he's he's fat. Has anybody said a peep about Yokech who's playing better basketball than he has in the two years that he won the MVP?

No. Why? Because he's fat and he's foreign and they're in Denver. We talk also about who's the blame in Minnesota,

why things are a little bit tilted in Boston. And we're not just talking about the rims.

We are talking about what's happening with the team.

And a little news on the pair of the league's biggest young superstars,

Luca and Ja.

Come on, Nick, do me a favor.

Drop that generic-ass beat.

Let's start with the nugs. Let's start with the Nugs.

Let's start with them.

So we have Nicola Yolich, right?

The reigning two-time MVP.

In a season with historic performances so far from Tatum, K.D., Yice, M. Bid, Sheaildedos Alexander, jaw, and Yolkich still may be the best player in the league again. Again.

Bet you didn't see that one coming. Shout out to Jeremy Renner. Good well soon, Jeremy Renner.
