Hello, everybody and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School podcast.

0:24.3

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time for another Nix Film School pod of the Evergreen variety.

0:34.2

This one will probably not talk about the NICicks very much, but is an episode I have

0:39.9

been looking forward to since the idea was floated out when this gentleman joined me for a

0:45.9

Patreon podcast during the playoffs. I'm of course talking about Mr. XJ. First of all, I'll introduce

0:52.4

him. XJ, welcome to the show. How are you, sir?

0:55.0

I am doing great. I mean, you're about to share what this topic's going to be, so I'm not going to

0:59.4

spoil it. But I'll just say when we talked about it on the Patreon pod, that one time I was a kid in a

1:46.6

And I was curious, based on history, who you might actually think should have been rewarded the certain awards that the ML, and the NBA has given out over the years.

1:54.1

And the funny thing about this season is you also, I don't want to put words in your mouth,

2:00.3

but it feels like this is also your first

2:02.4

introduction to it's not just the data that people use in their award voting and that

2:08.6

the humans that actually put thought into these awards lean more toward where I am and look

2:15.0

at the narrative and the overall story.

2:23.0

And while you could make the argument that Embed should never win MVP and should have never won MVP, the thought was, listen, it's close enough.

2:28.3
