Well come on here to a little bit later than that time of year as it normally would due to

the intervention of

Nature, but we are a little late fortunately none of the actual winners have come out yet on these awards

We're gonna get to just about everything today except some of our own made up awards and six man

Which requires a lot of research and I didn't have time to do it and we will get to that next week

Let's begin though Danny with the MVP

I want to take a beat to appreciate how strong the cases are for these top three players this year and

That I don't have the I didn't do the digging on whether these all the three of these guys would have won the MVP in all of the last five years

Or anything like that all I could say is they all have really strong cases and that made it hard to differentiate and

You can you know, it's also fascinating because well you can think of Yokech

Yannis and Mbid as as big because in many ways they do function that way they

Thrive in different kind of parts of the game

But also they all have really important offensive profiles

And I think Yannis is in particular is under appreciated there

But they also all provided defensive value this year too and that's a huge part of the case for Yokech

And I can get into as much detail as people want but and you know, I spent time on this

But what I thought is the kind of for me the place to start is the reason I'm pick Yokech to me

Needed the defensive improvement that he's made this year to get first place on my ballot what you did

Yeah, I think it's clear to me that Yokech is the best offensive player between these three kids

Yes, I go hard at league and MP and and let's let's get in and by the way quickly before we do that even

My criteria is essentially who contributed the most to his team winning basketball games this year

That's that's all that I am looking at and then my tiebreaker if it's just so close that there really isn't a great
