Thinking Basketball Podcast, my name is Ben. Welcome back to the top 10 players of 2024.

Cody this is this one's just gonna upset some people.

So what's going to happen.

As you know, we like to end the year

by discussing the top players.

We will first talk about the players as if they are all healthy, whatever that means,

since players are dropping like flies at different parts of the season, but we will try to talk about players in the

spirit of them being their best their full strength versions this season at

least the season at least the version we saw like I don't think I'm going to give too much mind to Tyrese Halliburton's December or something like that I need a little bit of a larger sample than that but if you got knocked off by one of these playoff injuries, we're going to try to

account for that. And then at the end of the show we'll probably talk about what it means

when we account for health and we boot those players out.

We'll get into all sorts of fun, philosophical snaggles.

Is that a word?

Can you get into a snaggle?

We can now.

I think that's a great word to describe this for,

you know, two things I actually want to respond to,

like you just said.

Number one, what makes this so tough, I feel like

this year as opposed to the last couple of years,

is there somewhere between like 13 to 15-ish top 10 players right now.

Like it's listening to like top 40 music, right?
