Nicola Yolkich is a lock to not be MVP.

Could, could be six men of the year.

He should be.

Thanks for being an everydayer making this your first listen. Being a part of the everydayers club, if you've chosen to at Lockdown Nuggets. Dot supercast.com. You can find a link in the description of this episode where you can get also with the great content. I'll have a scouting report up later for the Utah Jazz game. I'm writing an article for the Denver dig that will also be available to our everydayers club about the Nuggets living in the moment. Got some great quotes from it from Cam Johnson, Nicole Yokich and Jamal Murray. So be on look out for that on today's show. It's a 10-0 run, just quick 10-minute episode that we're going to talk a little bit about awards cases this season.

I'm Matt Morib and covered the nuggets in person in the arena for 14 seasons. I have cat here on my shirt. Okay, let's start here. Jamal Murray is going to be All-MBA. I did my ballot last night. I don't have an official one, but I went down the All-MBA selections list because I was like, All right. I really kind of want to know where I'm at on this.

And I thought going in, I was like, well, I think Jamal's going to be third. I think he's going to be third team all-N-Ba. And I told Brett and vote that, I think it's probably still likely that given how much all-NBA is often given to seniority and precedent.

So like if you've been All MBA a bunch of seasons in a row, even if you haven't as good of a season, you usually get it. So there's like a lot of that that goes in. It's kind of like All-Star in that respect. It's a little bit more selective. It's a much better award than All-Star, which is just nonsense and no one should care about it. It's stupid. but All MBA is not stupid.

It actually is like an important one.

But when I went through and I star, which is just nonsense and no one should care about it. It's stupid. But all NBA is not stupid.

It actually is like an important one. But when I went through and I actually did it, so my first team is Shea, Wembe, Yokich, Luca, and Kauai. And then my second team, I was like, all right, we got to have Anthony Edwards. I got to have Donovan Mitchell. I got to have Tyrese Maxie, I got to have Jalen Brown.

Those four guys. And then the fifth

selection, I looked to have Donovan Mitchell. I got to have Tyrese Maxy. I got to have Jalen Brown. Those four guys.

And then the fifth selection, I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked and I was like, no, it's Jamal. Jamal, I think, has been the 10th best player in the NBA.

And so I think he's going to be.

And even if I thought that, right,

because I cover the Nuggets and I have my own feelings on these things, even beyond that,
