Mike Tariko on the call there, joining us right now to talk all things NBA.

Man, he's been in the news this week as an NBA, as an all-MBA voter and a voter on NBA awards.

Our friend Justin Termini, the star of Sirius XM MBA Radio, NBA today, weekdays 4 to 7 p.m.

Eastern on NBA Radio, and on YouTube, YouTube.com, backslash termini radios. Termini crashes out. It's good stuff. I did not vote Victor Wembeeniam. I'm our first team, all NBA, and JT. People got very, very upset with you, my friend, which I think is probably something that's not unique to you in your life. Thanks for joining us. How's it going? He's doing well and yeah, there were a lot of people that were very, very upset with Germany, but that termini doesn't necessarily care because he only cares what his family thinks to whoever he's trying to make out with from the opposite sex. And I don't really think I'm trying to make out with any of the people on social media that were upset with him. So we're fine.

Thank you for out. Oh, of course. So tell us a little bit about what went into the decision for you to not. And I know you've done it a lot on your show, but not on this show. Your decision as a voter to not, and I know that you think Wembe's probably the best player that had nothing to do with it. why didn't you vote Victor Wembeiyama first team?

I think Wembe Nama now best player that had nothing to do with it. Why didn't you vote Victor Wembeiyama first team?

I think Wembe Nama now is the best player in the world after what's happened in the postseason. I thought he was the second best center this year behind only Yokic. I voted in form third MVP. I think he's a better player than SGA. I didn't like the lack of minutes. that's the only thing that dropped them behind sGA in the mvp voting uh as far as the all

mbaa i vote minutes. That's the only thing that dropped them behind SGA in the MVP voting.

As far as the all-MBA, I vote by position. That's the way it was done the first 77 years of the league.

That's the way I think it should continue to get judged. And I'll give you a couple of different explanations as to why you look back at Wilton Russell.

Wilton Russell couldn't make first team at the same time.

One had to be first team. One had to be second team because they both played center. So years now, years later, we look back. We say, well, Russell only made this amount of first team all-MBAs. Wilt only made this amount. And it gets held against him in all-time conversations because it's important to count up the all-NBA accolades so you can compare guys to their peers.

How did they... in all-time conversations because it's important to count up the all-NBA accolades so you can compare guys to their peers.

How did they do compare to their peers?

Bob Coosie, for example, was one of the two best guards because he made 10 first teams

against his peers.

He was one of the two best guards.

Chris Paul only four times.

So I think that's the only way we can judge the guards from generation
