Summary

Who should be the MVP between Shai, Jokic, Wembanyama, and Luka? Who would have made All-NBA if not for the dreaded 65-game rule?  We pick our teams both with and without the rule. Then, we catch up on Thursday’s action and set the scene for the weekend scenarios. Are we headed towards a fantastic San Antonio/Denver game on Sunday?

Well, we can't put it off any longer. The time has come to discuss awards, MVP, All-N-BA.

0:07.6

We waited as long as we could. Sadly, there is still some drama over who is going to be eligible,

0:13.7

whether Luca will get his extraordinary circumstances appeal granted at 64 games.

0:19.8

Cade's going to get to 64.

0:21.2

It looks like also I'm not sure what his extraordinary circumstances might be.

66.5% true shooting is only slightly below Yokic.

And we talk about Yolkich's incredible individual efficiency.
