The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

What was a prediction you got right/wrong?
Jordan Poole for MIP
I predicted Ben Simmons would be a first ballot hofer after his second year…😭😭😭
Johnny random question but who's someone your high on that you feel could be a star but most people don't see it
I thought Sengun would have a break out season and I feel like he did raise the bar on himself but sadly he got hurt. Hopefully he'll be even more fun to watch next season... Coming from a Cavs fan. Just like the dude's game and think there's a really high ceiling for that kid
@williamethegod5013 Well idk if most people don't see it, but like I said in the video, NAZ Reid. Big, great handle, length, dangerous shooter, young, crazy athletic, etc. His per 36 minutes stats are amazing. If Minnesota hypothetically traded Kat (or even Naz) I could see Naz taking a MASSIVE leap forward with starters minutes, similar to how James Harden did after he left OKC. You??
As a C’s fan, I just realized Wemby actually helped the Celtics win a championship.
In the 2nd-to-last game of the season, Wemby single-handedly carried the Spurs to a win over the Nuggets. This led to the Nuggets being knocked down to the 2nd seed and entering the playoff bracket with the Timbwerwolves. The Twolves were quite literally designed to beat the Nuggets, and that’s exactly what happened. The Nuggets match up well against the Celtics, and if they made the Finals, they probably would have repeated.
I disagree I think it goes seven but the nuggets don't have the weapons and after seeing Murray get clamped by a similar defense I don't think they repeat but we'll see next year
it would have been a much bigger challenge, but im still taking the celtics in 6.
Wemby is also why we gave you White so we could tank
“Wemby single-handedly carried the Spurs to a win over the Nuggets.” Who had the game winner
@isiahalcindor6278 I definitely agree with you saying that Denver would have lost to Celtics in 6. BOSTON has too many weapons and they just have to slow Jamal down like Wollves did and have better defenders to do that
love doing these myself and love the video
Not the tombstone... Hahahaha
You gonna do a video on the Jordan stat keeping controversy?
5:18 WTF??? 😮 😳
Tbh I also was so much wrong...
At first I thought that Denver will win again.
Then Minnesota. After they beat Denver.
After that Dallas... Cause they defeated Minnesota.
And I never thought that Celtics will win championship this year.
DPOY - I also thought about Wemby.
Clutch player? - didn't thought about it at all.
Coach? - Tom Thibodeau
NBA regular season MVP - Nikola Jokić
Finals MVP - Didn't type anyone
MIP - SGA, of course missed
6th man? - didn't type
ROTY - Victor Wembenyama.
That's all. Greetings from Poland
I learned a long time ago if I want to be wrong about something in the NBA, I should make a prediction about it, so 3/8 is still pretty impressive. And in your defense, Luka was robbed, and that would have given you 50% correct.
I really thought Alan smailagic would sign with the lakers and win the championship 😭
😎😎👋👋👍👍👍
3 out of 8 is impressive. I thought Luka Doncic deserved MVP. You can't just give an award because you screwed up the year before. Jokic may have a better PER but Doncic is the best NBA player along with SGA. I don't like any big. I would never give Shaq an MVP over Kobe. Or a power forward/ strong guy like Lebron over Jordan or Dr. J. For me, the eye test says it most. And for me, I want most to watch Luka and SGA. Jokic bores me to tears.
They gave Embid because he deserved it for the previous 2. No way 4th seed luka got it.
Jokic had the highest PER, that’s mainly how they’ve been determining the MVP as of recent. (along with team success of course) Last year was an exception. (voter fatigue) and because Jokic had the highest PER + 2nd seed in the west, he won it. Deservingly. Luka was 4th in PER and mavs were the 5th seed so it’s not surprising he didn’t win. If anything I think SGA deserved it more than Luka. He averaged more steals & blocks, way less turnovers and 30 ppg. Oh and lead his team to the #1 seed in the west without a superstar teammate.
Doncic didnt deserve shit😂 jokic and shae both clear
@@D22_T SGA should have won it, period imo. Had a higher seed, with less talent and expirence around him. Not saying Jokic does not have a very legitimate case, but to win it by that much over Shai? That was because of regret/bitterness from last year. You can't argue otherwise.
Which is a terrible reason to award someone the MVP. Shame on the media and the NBA.
@@cheap272 Doncic had the stats. And finals appearance. What stat was Jokic better at? Or Shae? Name it bro. You can't. Because no stat shows it.
Coby white robbed of MIP
Luka def should've won it.
That traffic cone in dallas didnt even belong in top 3 mvp
Does it hurt being this dumb?
Good call on Chef Curry. He was cookin
how was he cooking lmao.. how can u be clutch but lose… his team only had him to score and they build the system around him so obviously he would score most and have inflated stats
As a person who selected Steph in his fantasy basketball I can confirm Steph was NOT cooking
Midway into the season, there were talks of Steph Curry being a top Reg Sea MVP candidate. Though he was slightly not as good in the second half of the season, he should have nevertheless been on the All-NBA 2nd Team. I was surprised when he was voted in to the All-NBA 3rd Team instead.
@@sagiofir4677 thank tou
Clutch is not just buzzer beaters and game winners 🙄
Refreshing to see analysts revisit their old predictions. I would like to see a review of different analysts' predictions, to see who actually makes (or at least, made) the best predictions. One more thing, your vocal performance has taken a leap -- it's much more natural and conversational than it was just a few months back.
It would have been difficult to pick Maxey as MIP until after Harden was traded.
My not so bold prediction was that Porziņģis would need to play 70 games to really make a difference. The Celtics record was not really affected by him playing, though he did have a big Finals game 1.
I really like your doing a vid like this, shows reflection. Good job m8
Jonny, it would be nice to see those sports talking heads, own their predictions. You are the man!!
We all know JJ not gonna be Coach of the year '24 - '25😂
i love this video idea, alot more creators should do this
I think Jxmyhighroller does this
And SROS looks back on his predictions too
😂 One of the first things i thought of after the celtics won was your reaction to the milwaukee trade 🤣🤣 panned out horribly haha
Lol, true! I do wish the Bucks had been healthy though. Dame looked like he was about to go off in the Playoffs, and he and Giannis can hit that switch. Even healthy, Boston probably still wins, but I wish I could have seen a healthy Giannis and Dame in the Playoffs.
@@jonnyarnett I was rooting for them to win the championship and hopefully do it against Denver but they disappointed and injures took a toll.
@@jonnyarnett For real!!! I feel like we were robbed of what couldve been a great battle in the ecf. I just hope their team remains healthy next year and they can hopefully come back stronger. Firing doc would also be helpful, lol
Only the real ones saw that title
Video was slacking compared to my usual performance, so I had to spice things up! 🤣
I definitely enjoyed the video and you should keep doing them.
I can't even hold you I had lamelo ball making all nba 3rd team and the heat making the finals again
Why would u think they would make it with the the roster they had compare to other east teams? I get it, they were doubted and suprised us last year but lets be real, they werent getting past the new boston team even with jimmy
@@woo_shynen8805 Playoff jimmy go crazy 38 points per game against the bucks but it's fair to say even with that I might be a bit delusional
You were straight buggin with both of those picks lol
I'm not gonna be one of those people who hates on you for incorrect predictions because everybody has some horrible ones even if they act high and mighty and pretentious. LaMelo has improved every season, this season, he was actually getting hot and going off for a short period of time. Then he got injured, yet again, and by the end of the season, his overall averages make it seem like he didn't improve. However, look at his numbers before his first injury... it's honestly not that bad of a prediction and I could see why you thought that. For people that actually pay attention to the Hornets, it seems like he's ready to take off and become a superstar and then it just gets ruined by injuries. He dropped 36 against the Celtics in a win and I was like oh shi... LaMelo is here. Then he got injured a few games later. So I can't fault you for that. As for the Heat making the Finals again, it looks like a bad prediction now, but I think it's crazy that people still slept on Playoff Jimmy for the entire season despite what he did last season. I personally don't feel bad about any picks I make if injuries are essentially what ruin them. Jimmy was out in the first round so there went any hope they had of doing that again, right? So yeah. I don't fault you for either of those predictions. Maybe you could say well LaMelo is injury prone so why would you think he'd be healthy? Well, AD is also injury prone and we saw him have a healthy season. It's impossible to predict these things and injuries can happen to anyone.
Super good concept, I love looking back at pre-season predictions once it’s all over and see who the biggest risers and fallers were
Jonny, are there any takes you had that you regret having?
Oh yeah. My worst one came waaay before I started the channel. It was early 2012, and I said if Dwight Howard went to the Lakers, Kobe would be winning rings until he was 40... My friend who I told that to will NEVER let me forget it 😂
@@jonnyarnettAt the time, that wasn’t a terrible take tbf. In hindsight, Kobe and Dwight clashing is obvious, but that team should have been better than it was
Showing humility and saying you were wrong shows good character dude .. respect!💪
I cant fault your incorrect answers because even the voters got most of the awards wrong.. luka should have been mvp, wemby should have been dpoy, coby white should have been mip.. so i wouldnt feel bad... Ben Simmons prolly gonna win rookie, mip, dpoy and mvp next year tho, you heard it here first
Love da videos bro shout out from San Antonio ‼️
🏀
🎉❤
So if Joel’s mvp aged poorly how is this one gonna age? Its pretty similar to last years race tbh & i think Luka should have won… jokic got bounced in round 2 as the reigning mvp, this has to age poorly as well no?
Love your vids btw tons of effort you put into each and every one. Huge fan hope you enjoy the offseason!
Jokic losing his third straight and winning a ring in the same year is going to insulate him from criticism for a WHILE. I don’t think this year’s ages as poorly as 2023s, because Jokic ABSOLUTELY had an acceptable case, but if the Nuggets don’t win more soon, we might raise some eyebrows
LOL
You are the only chanel I watch with respect
Dominating Mario Kart and then banger NBA content. The Jonny Arnett way.
Lmao. Thanks man. I have a weird combination of interests 😂
@@jonnyarnett Not weird at all my man. Just regular guy stuff imo.
i think the only awards i got right were maxey and wemby
Calling Maxey is insanely impressive. His leap took a lot of people by surprise
Coby White was most deserving of MIP
Blocks are like sacks and not really a good indicator of defense
And steals are interceptions
Paraphrasing: "Was Wemby the best defender? Probably. And that's why Rudy Gobert should have won DPoY." 🙄 So tired of people admitting that Wemby was the best defender, but still giving it to Gobert for.... reasons.
I get all the other stuff the Celts do better than LA but "building a team organically" doesn't necessarily serve as a talking point for a better-run franchise. Celts "build organically" for the same reason that most teams do; they aren't considered a destination franchise. At the same time, they've made trades, FA pickups, and signed buyout players too and that's how they got Porzingis, Horford, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. Again, I can understand all the other stuff they do but the notion that "building a team organically" is THE better way to create a winning franchise is nonsense. Get players and grow your team however you can.
AD was not a bad call. Came in 4th, IMO should've been 2nd or 3rd. It was just a tough year. Such incredible top heavy defenders
❤❤
I thought Scoot would win RotY bc I thought Wemby and Chet would get injured. I'm sure nobody thought Scoot would've been as bad as he was this year.
I wouldn't say that you were horribly wrong, a lot of your predictions were believable. I actually didn't see Dallas making it to the finals. I personally only had one prediction accurate and that was the Knicks getting eliminated in the second round, but I said Philly was gonna do it.
I disagree that Embiid's MVP aged poorly, he was far and away the frontrunner for this year MVP before getting injured.
You were right about Luka, highest PPG + APG + RPG in the modern era. Media (voters) weren’t about to give it to him tho because hate.
I think Joe Mazzuka was catch of the year. Greatest improvement as a coach plus took the greatest assembly of talent to the Finals and won. I totally didn’t believe in him.
Only thing I got right was guessing Jokic for MVP, though I see how it could have gone differently this year.
I thought it would be Boston and Tatum as MVP. If the award was voted on like years before then i believe he would of won it as the best player on the clear best team 🤷♂️
That COTY choice is quite bad but your other wrong picks aren't bad
Monk shouldve won 6MOTY naz ried started like 20 games looool
KD made conference finals vs Milwaukee in their championship run (he did pass second round post warriors KD)
Only one I got right was Wemby cuz I had him on like 4 different spots 😂
3/8??? Damn. You would have gotten 4 if you used the outrage of when Jokic didn't win it.
i predicted mavs will make a play offs ... didnt expect them to get to the finals so soon thou
(honestly i dont make predictions / my knowledge is to limited and there are to many variables .)
The Celtics are a juggernaut with amazing staff. There’s no way around it.
No sweat i said Ben Simmons would be the Next MJ 😮😮😮😮
Every year until I’m dead and the tombstone lmao righteous dude.
I predicted that JJ was going to be the Lakers coach and hoped I was wrong when he and James first started doing the podcast.
It was a good prediction. You can certainly make a case for all of them in those awards
Wemby should have won DPOY
Can you do the Clutch Player of the Year for the 2010s?
I predict MJ will be the goat in 2025 and 2026
I love this video. It's really cool to see a "media personality" own all their takes.
As a Bulls fan, the only award I was invested in was the Most Improved Player award.... I really wanted Coby to win that award
Yup. I'm not a bulls fan so I have some unbiased support for your view. Based on my MIP definition, he got robbed.
Wemby should've won Dpoy
I was expecting you to talk about how horribly wrong you were picking Dallas over Boston!
Where’s THAT video, with your Podcast buddies?
Lol. I mean I already owned it by Game 2’s and Game 3’s recap video 😂
Poetic that the clutch player pick was a clutch pick
Wemby should have won it
Gobert should never get a 4th dpoy
Coby White got robbed from MIP.
Predicted Jayson Tatum as MVP, but I’ll take the championship instead ☘️
If only you predicted FMVP! ….wait
@@jakemartin3687lol 😂😂😂
You don’t get anything
Luka deserved MVP this season
you have been wrong a lot, especially when you think modern players are better than the players from the past. they are more "skilled", ie. they have more moves because the rules allow them to innovate, but doesn't mean they are actually more skilled, because they play in a no hand check, no defense, not physical soft league and 1 touch you go to the line. so their stats are inflated to the moon, thats why so many "superstars" fail and absolutely melt down in the playoffs when the intensity only picks up slightly. every night nba is like a shoot around and teams take turn to go at the basket, 2000s to early 2010s basketball were the last real basketball. thats why we see american basketball players fall off a cliff while foreign players especially european are having a great time in the nba, because it is so easy for them.
You making up stuff now?? I’ve never said modern players are more skilled 🤣 Insane that you’d accuse my channel of that of all places 🤦♂️
at least you picked the RIGHTFUL MVP at least!
😂😂😂 JOKIĆ ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Take this Pat on the back
2:11 got my ass 😭
I would be proud af.
I think you could even go the next mille and compare with other content creator predictions. Not even a need to mention who nor their specific predictions. Just a ' I nailed 37.5% of my predictions while other creators X'. Gamification :P
can you predict when the luka hate will stop?
When he wins a ring I guess.
I got MVP, ROY, MIO, and 6thMOY, right, and I'm happy with it. I was wrong about Bam being DPOY and never bothered myself enough to pick COY and EOY, and I didn't even know the CPOY award even existed 😀
Bold predictions for 2025.
MVP & DPOY = Wemby
6th man = Lebron
Coach = JJ Redick
Rookie = Bronny
Clutch = Lebron
MIP = Klay Thompson
You can’t get crazier than that.
MIP: Ben Simmons
@@mikedvdg you got me there lol
You don't actually believe any of this, do you? 🤣 I mean I 100% genuinely think the most likely of these happening is Wemby MVP and DPOY, that's how crazy the other picks are. Wemby is definitely capable of winning MVP and DPOY in the same season, but 2nd season seems like it's too soon. I think he very well may win DPOY though, and I might even pick him to win it.
Dont understand how gobert won DPOY when the defensive rating on/off difference for gobert is -4.1 points while wemby is at -12 yet gobert is the better defender? Spurs are 3x worse without wemby than the timberwolves are without gobert…
I believe that wemby should have been the DPOY but playing the devils advocate that's because the timberwolves have a very good defense already, and the spurs suck. So that doesn't show how Gobert is impacting an already good defense, if that makes any sense.
You got this horribly wrong

Correction on Wemby being 2nd. He hands down should’ve won it. But of course most of these awards are political.😑
Yep i agree buddy. Timberwolves had a -4.1 points with gobert off the floor while spurs were -12 with wemby off the floor…that number is based on defensive rating on/off difference
But he was second, fuckin deal with it and stop crying excuses. There is no black and white criteria, when it's close it comes down to personal opinions and values of the people voting, so once again, stop crying buddy.
I got wrong;
CLUTCH PLAYER - DEMAR DEROZAN
6th Man - B.Portis
I got right
MVP - easy one after last season
ROY - easy one
DPOY - easy one
EXECUTIVE of THE YEAR -easy one
I also Got the NBA CHAMPIONS correct after JRUE and KP join them made a lot of money on that as well...
DIDNT even tried MIP because thats a lottery choice.
SO i guess 5/7....
0:51 why U start laughing 😭
1:00 why do you think he's the best individual impact but couldn't lead to winning? Would you ever rank players all time by this logic or no
You are so full of yourself 🤣
I still like your videos
