THIS Is The Most ANNOYING NBA Player

i'm over dribbling that's on me i'm over dribbling i got to get off it dribbling the air out of it am i dribbling too much shoes are terrible hey did you lose a bet wearing those you ain't about this go back down there trash talking is definitely not the reason why tj mcconnell drives opponents crazy he's actually a really nice guy and he only performed for the audience here since he was mic'ed up so let me explain the real reason why the pacers guard is possibly the most annoying player in the league what up everybody my name is stefan and this is heat check let's get into it listed at a generous six foot one he's one of the shorter players in the league and when you watch him run that's also one of the slower guards in today's nba and the athleticism just isn't there okay but still with all that being said tj leads the league and steals per game and this is why he is so smart and hunts these opportunities on inbound passes what is usually the most relaxed portion of the possession getting the ball in play and taking it across half court mcconnell stays aware and ready during that time and turns it into a steal and a bucket against the bugs just yesterday indiana scores and you can see tj already has his mind made up to go for it drew doesn't expect him and the pass is lazy as well which turns into a steal and the basket counts as it was goat ending easy two points players always say how the most annoying guys to go against are those pesky defenders who run a lot and force turnovers and i can only imagine it being even more infuriating when a smaller slower less athletic defender steals the ball right in front of their eyes and don't get me wrong i'm not knocking tj with relaxing physical abilities he makes up for it more than enough with his effort and iq like when i play i'm always the smallest guy on the court so i strive to be like him and he's been known for his effort and iq from his days in philly watch this he sees the situation little time left kyrie is ready waiting for the pass so he sprints there intercepts it and banks it in for two easy and cheap points at the end of the quarter let me share a crazy statistic against the cavs mcconnell had a triple double with steals dude had 10 steals to go along with 13 assists and 16 points on 8 for 8 shooting talk about a great knight but that 10 steel triple double is something that only 5 other players have done in nba history that's crazy and his game is more than just forcing turnovers with six and a half assists per game not only is cj by far the number one player when it comes to passing the ball off the bench but he actually ranks 17 at the moment in the entire league in front of high profile point guards like steph curry john wall kyrie irving lonzo ball mike conley the list goes on and on check this out a week ago against the miami heat he went 8 from 9 from the field which is great but then also racked up 15 assists all that in just 29 minutes as a reserve off the bench players know that he'll always find them as he's so unselfish so mcconnell is loved by his teammates here in indiana just as much as he was in his time with the sixers at the end let me just showcase a part of his game that is so interesting and even funny to me tj is shooting 55 from the field which is amazing especially for a smaller guy like him but the most interesting thing is he's not really a shooter like that the reason for his efficiency is that he's smart about picking and choosing his opportunities but this is what gets me every time his signature play mcconnell absolutely loves to weave through traffic all the way to the baseline on the right side and shoot a fade away from there again continuing with the theme of this video i assume it's pretty frustrating to watch a guy go to a spot and shoot a fade away over a taller defender and watch the ball go in every single time look i always say that i love high effort players but tj mcconnell is on a whole nother level plus he's so unselfish team oriented and overall a great teammate extremely underrated and the fact that he's able to do so much at his size in a way makes us the mere mortals who are watching the games at home live the nba live through him i had a lot of fun making this video for a relatively unknown guy and hopefully you enjoyed watching that's it for now subscribe and talk to in the next one peace out baby two in a row was good and i'm not even really a shooter like that whatever peace
