Welcome in to another special edition of What's Right with Nick Wright, the podcast and YouTube show.

This is our ultimate episode of the countdown of the 50 greatest players of the last 50 years.

So let me just take a step back where we get to who is number two and talk about this project for just a moment.

I and we'll talk about it more maybe when we wrap it up next week,

but I literally have been working on this for a number of years.

outstripped the actual performance and also informational because I learned if I didn't already

know how die hard so many of the Michael Jordan folks were

and therefore one of them has to come in third.

And that then brings us, of course, to number two,

which will, you know, reveal by definition who number one is.
