0:00.0 | Okay, welcome to Locked-on Warriors, your daily podcast on all things, Warriors. |
0:16.2 | Part of the Lockdown Podcast Network. |
0:18.1 | I'm Wes Goldberg, Warriors Beat Reporter for the Mercury News. |
0:21.3 | The Locked-on Podcast Network pulled its hosts on our awards ballots. And we have the results |
0:27.2 | shared with us today. So what I'm going to do here is share them with you and then tell |

1:30.9 | the Janus versus LeBron debate was a little bit closer than a lot of people gave it credit for. |
1:37.2 | And because the first argument that I hear, and the biggest one I hear in favor of Janus versus |
1:42.2 | LeBron, is that Janus didn't have Anthony Davis, which is true, |
1:45.3 | and I think that matters. |
1:47.4 | But if you look at the on-off numbers and you look at all the advanced stats and those |
