It is not a 'sham' if Nikola Jokic wins a 3rd straight MVP without making the Conference Finals

Everyone's getting pre-mad right now about Jokic winning a third straight MVP... they're like, if he wins an MVP and they don't get at least the conference finals, this is a sham. Why? Again, it's a regular season award. Like that's just what it is.

Jokic didn't win a 3rd straight (Embiid won in 2023), but he did lead the Nuggets to a championship that year, rendering the 'playoff fraud' argument moot.

Aaron Rodgers will definitely continue playing football

Trying to figure out if he wants to keep playing football. Spoil alert he will. Yep. Wants to continue playing. Probably win an MVP.

Rodgers did continue playing, being traded to the Jets shortly after.

Aaron Rodgers will be phenomenal next season and probably win an MVP

I'm fully prepared for him to go back to the Packers and win an MVP. Yeah. Because it feels like this is just the cycle that we're in. And he's probably gonna be phenomenal next year.

Rodgers tore his Achilles four plays into the season and did not win MVP or play phenomenally.

The drama surrounding Brandon Miller will actually help his NBA draft stock

My other spin zone is I actually think this helps his draft stock. Think about all the attention he's getting. Everyone knows who he is and then after, you know, all eyes are on him, he drops 40.

Miller was drafted #2 overall, as high as most projected him before the incident, suggesting it didn't hurt and potentially highlighted his 'mental toughness' to scouts.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
