All right, let's get to work here.

And I think where I want to talk a little bit here is just looking forward to the season a little bit more.

We did our disagreements last week on some of the overunders, but you wrote a column today with some of your predictions.

I had some of mine as well.

Let's start with MVP. That's a really interesting one.

When you, so your prediction here is the top three players will come from southeastern Europe.

So that's Janice, Yokic, and Luca. Are you saying that that that would be your pick for the top three? Or do you think that that, or are you, do you, do you, when you do your MVP picks, are you saying that that would be your pick for the top three or do you think that that or are you do you, do you, when you do your MVP picks, are you doing? I think they'll be the top three in the MVP voting at the end of the year and I think they'll deserve to be the top three in the MVP voting. Yeah. No, I mean, that's, I like that thought. What was your rationale? I think they're just younger than a lot of the guys that get

mentioned, you know, in that Durant, Curry, Davis class, LeBron, and they're going to end up

missing fewer games and they're going to end up playing really vital roles on good teams.

And statistically, they might be the three best players in the

league during the regular season anyway, especially with no Kauai this year. So when I looked at

that, I was like, okay, that's, you know, that's your one, two, three in some order probably.

No disrespect to those other guys. Yeah. what are your thoughts on Kevin Durant's

candidacy? You still think he's going to play enough? I think he might not play enough and I still think

especially if Kyrie comes back, his numbers might get a little diluted, which will make it harder

to make his case. And then also he needs to not get his ass kick by Janus. Yeah, no, that's that's true.

Yonis looked very, very good yesterday. Yeah, we'll try not to overreact too much to the first

case since this is a weekly podcast. I thought there are some troubling signs for a couple of

the championship favorites last night.

Yeah, so my pick, I think really essentially seven guys could win it this year between K.D., LeBron, Steph Curry, Juel and B., Luca, Yokic, and Janice.

And I just don't think Janus is going to play that much this year.

That's kind of my thought of some of these troubling things about him still struggling
