You were talking yesterday about how Damien Lillard won the teammates of the year award.

Who votes for that?

How does anyone know how good of a teammate anyone is unless you're in every building everywhere?

Howdy, howdy, howdy.

Welcome back to Stay Hot.

I'm Matthew Sponauer, joined as always by Blake and Kirk and Theo Ash. Today we're going to be talking a little bit of NBA awards since those have been coming out recently. Might be talking a little bit of playoffs and some other stuff. Bladen Kirk and Theo Ash, how are you doing? I'm doing great, Matt. I'm wonderful. I love to hear it. Reminder that if you're watching on YouTube, make sure to subscribe. And if you're listening on Apple or Spotify, leave us a review. It might read it in a later

episode. We got to talk about these NBA awards, though, because first off, they refuse to

release the only one that matters, rookie year. All the other ones, who cares? It really is the only one that matters to me.

I can't lie. As a Charlotte Hornets fan, it's so rare for one of our players to be in an award race.

And now that we've got Lamello, looking like he's going to win it, I'll be honest. I'm pretty like he's going to win it i'll be honest i'm pretty

confident he's going to win uh it's frustrating that they won't go ahead and drop it it'll just

make it all the better when they do when it builds up and it's the last award announced and all

the other ones have been announced and then that one gets its own time at the end.

And then that's probably going to be the most hotly contested one.

So I don't know.

I feel like it's going to be worth the wait for you, assuming Lamello wins.

I think Lamello will win.

Matt, do you have a Lamello jersey by chance?

I do not.

Fake fan.

My problem with that is that I don't love our current home and away jerseys.

I think they're fine.
