They didn't forget their teachers 🥹❤️ #shorts

Basketball highlights don't need a basket to give viewers something to remember. MTN Hoops' most watched new upload, "They didn't forget their teachers 🥹❤️ #shorts", has reached about 2.3 million views, with the conversation turning from famous players to the teachers viewers remember themselves.

Steph's head scratch gets particular attention: commenters compare it to becoming a teenager again when an old teacher appears. Others discuss the lasting difference a supportive teacher can make. There is also a small debate about recognition, with viewers pointing out that not noticing someone immediately isn't the same as ignoring them. For a basketball clips channel, it is a notably human change of subject.

The other five uploads return to more familiar NBA territory. "What was Embiid doing? 😭🥀 #shorts" drew the biggest first-day audience of the week's releases and is approaching a million views. LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards share another title, while Tyrese Haliburton's return and Bronny James's strength supply separate moments.

The teacher clip is also the channel's busiest video right now. An older upload, "LeBron always has Kyrie's back ❤️ #shorts", remains another substantial daily draw, ahead of the Embiid clip. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were Cleveland teammates on the Cavaliers' championship-winning team in 2016, giving that pairing a history beyond a single highlight.

Across the library, weekly views topped eleven million, and subscriber growth brought MTN Hoops close to 200,000 subscribers. Its daily viewing pace is nearly triple its usual level. Athletes Club is also having a sharply busier day, while Delta Highlights is closer to its regular rhythm. MTN Hoops' own week, though, belongs to a reunion rather than a scoring play.
