Danny, you pointed out to me the other day that it's long past time we do our awards.

We haven't done them since the beginning of January. We took February off because it was a shorter month,

but it really would have been useless to do it many later than this because we got to do our final awards in April.

So now that I've prepared for four hours, let's get started here with the most valuable player.

I hadn't really put my thoughts together on MVP until until this and I think the place that I want to start

this is that there is a completely viable case for three different guys. I I I switched my own ordering.

I think four times as I was doing it. That's how close this is for me right now. And do you want

me to just go one two three or I can I can do ration? I think you should yell at through it. Okay,

so it surprised me because I changed four times during the course of it. My current number one

is Paul George. Holy shit. My current number two is James Harden and my current number three is

Janice. Wow, you know, it's funny. Maybe I've just been under reacting to what George has been doing.

I had Georgia a pretty distant third and maybe that is my prejudice that I just don't think he has

anywhere near the same established level of play as those other two guys. And yeah, I mean,

averaging the most points per game, the most accurate shooting of his career, been outstanding on

defense on one of the better defenses in the league. He was number three for me, although I've

seriously considered Kevin Durant there as well. But I don't leave it to you here rather than

tear George down you build him up as to why you had him number one. The theory of these three guys

is that so with James Harden, he is the most important offensive player in the league. He is he's

been the most dominant. I mean, he you have all of that. So and there is no argument against it,

really. I mean, he he Harden has the most he is the largest role of any single player in any

offense and Houston has an elite offense. So you have to give him the lion share of that credit.

So the case has to be different. And so for me with Paul George, it's actually similar to a case
