Today, college football playoff committee are they trying to set up a world where Ohio State

0:21.3

and Alabama get it. Let's go. No, we're starting with basketball. You make the

0:38.4

call last night. Step Curry. Did he travel?

0:45.5

No, no, no. You know what was interesting. Curry did say he don't call on his part, not to take the layup.

0:52.0

Instead, he didn't know how much time it was left. That's interesting.

0:54.5

Mavericks won 16 waters, won 13. Dallas getting a little oomph from the skid they're on and a little oomph from knocking out Golden State who knocked them out of the playoff

1:05.7

that year. But of course, it was 41, 12 and 12 from Luca Doncic. His third 40 point triple double this season. The rest of the league has zero. Jason Kidd quote, it's getting boring and quote, he's joke.

1:22.7

So boring is the word that he uses the joke. What's the word you use? Joe Plash. He just wrote Luca.

1:29.7

MVP MVP. He's starting to write the chapter of a season long MVP push. He's clearly the best player in the league right now.

1:37.7

It's Steph Curry after the game said you have to worry when he guard him. You have to worry about everything because he can do it all.

1:43.7

All this he's so big and he's so athletic and he can shoot so well. Eight different warriors tried to guard him yesterday couldn't guard him.

1:50.7

Eight different players tried to fenders. He he was contributed to 60% of the of the Mavericks points plus 22 and he played minus 19. We didn't play.

1:58.7

He's carrying that team. It's a very mediocre team right now, but he's carrying him and he's carrying the rest of the league MVP David Dennis Jr.

2:06.7

I think the word that I would have to respond to Bill's word is November. I don't think anybody is going to be winning MVP right now. I think Yannis and Steph himself start something to say about the MVP race.

2:18.7

But you know, I want to give Luca his flowers. Of course, this is 20th 40 point game. He's tied with Dirk. Dirk played 1522 games. Lucas at 283. That is insane.

2:32.7

But the problem here is that the other word I would use is Helio's century and that Luca is number two in usage rate.

2:40.7

Number one in minutes. That's like rocket's hardened. That's okay. See Westbrook type of output. And that does not bode well for teams long term when they're so reliant on one person.

2:50.7

Pablo Torrey. What word would you use to describe Luca?

2:54.7

I mean, I'm going to use LeBron. I want to go bigger than the solar system. I want to go bigger than MVP. I want to harken to LeBron James Tony.

3:03.7

And you know, I understand like hyperbole police and all that. But the reason there is Helio centrism and David Dennis Jr. is throwing shade at the sun is simply because let me ask you a question.

3:15.7

Who's the second best player on the Mavericks? Seriously, who is it? Last night it was Tim Hardaway Jr. Sometimes it's Dorian Finney Smith. Like we don't have anything close to an answer.

3:26.7

And so it reminds me of what LeBron had to do with the calves, which is both an indictment of the Mavericks. They have failed to surround him with a second best player who's anything close to an obvious answer.
