[Highlights] Charles Barkley: “No disrespect to Jimmy Butler, but this guy (Caleb Martin) should have been the MVP… They’re gonna be calling him Mr. Martin at the bank soon… he’s gonna get paid”

This time I posted it with the full bank manager (“Sit down bank manager”) thing Charles said at the end.
Jimmy this series 25 PPG
Caleb this series 19 PPG
He’s better than Jaylen Brown.
That second clip was the one I was expecting to be posted as a highlight in this subreddit. When he hit that baseline turnaround fadeaway I knew the Celtics were finished.
Every time the Celtics started to chip away at the deficit, he would hit some dumb shit and smother their momentum.
Caleb Martin was unbelievable in Game 7, there’s no doubt about that.
The Caleb Martin thing is good TV discussion but feels sort of like Andre Iguodala’s Finals MVP. People are a little caught up in the moment. Jimmy was still massive for us despite a rough game 6.
Good for him! Going from being waived less than two years ago to being a solid playoffs contributor is impressive.
Unfortunately he’s under contract for a bit so he won’t get a big contract anytime soon.
Caleb wins most efficient scorer but Jimmy was the most valuable player for Miami, especially in the wins.
Caleb getting paid is a fun narrative. But he’s under contract for 2 more seasons
Even the players on a minimum contract are millionaires. They’re still 1%ers, even if they aren’t 0.1%ers.
Signed for the next two seasons I believe. Gonna have to wait on that bag, but if he keeps this up, Miami may have just found the next man up when Jimmy retires.
Jimmy was 25-8-6 and the Heat’s 2nd best defender
(with 2.6 spg)
Goes to show what good coaching and an opportunity does for a guy, rooting for him.
He’s the MVP of the whole conference finals for one game?
Without Martin this ECF they would’ve lost this series big time . Jimmy should get credit but he wasn’t amazing at all . Martin saved Jimmy’s ass this series no question
It doesnt make any sense, Jimmy’s stats are all better, i dont see the argument. Efficiency? They weren’t covering Martin like they cover Jimmy
It’s not convincing when you only look at points. Jimmy does a lot more than make shots.
The term is X factor not MVP
He made $6m this year, pretty sure he already mr. Martin at the bank
Another L basketball take from Chuck
Jimmy was the MVP in the 4 games we won.
Chuck needs to STFU
Seems to me like the Celtics keyed Jimmy and said one of the other guys is gonna have to beat us and he did. Awesome job by Caleb he burned them almost every time.
I honestly thought the Conference Awards were going to be the most useless awards in the NBA but seeing people get emotional over them has proven me super wrong lol.
I thought this was a all playoffs award?
dude showed up in big moments in this series, yet alone averaged 19 something none of us expected
Why don’t we just compare their stats in their Ws? Who cares about the stats in the losses. Getting blown out and losing by 1 is the same in a best of 7 series. Only the Ws count
Chuck hates on any superstar that has a chance to get the rings he never got
Lmfao
Personally, I call him MarHIM now
