We had a conversation, Andrew and I, at the beginning of the year, in terms of, and it was kind of like a vague conversation because I don't think we nailed down, which is part of the reason I wanted to do this today.

I don't think we nailed down exactly what the parameters were of what we were talking about.

But basically it went like, who has the most pressure on them in this NBA season

slash who has the most.

It was more like who has the most at stake, right?

And we throw around some names and like, and we've, we've touched on it here and there

over the course of the year.

We've certainly talked about it in the context of the MVP race, like, versus the

champion, like the hunt for a championship.

I think, you know, we had a little discussion a few months ago about like, well,

does Embed have more pressure on him to get an MVP this season, but Yolkich has more

pressure on him to get a championship, you know, and we kind of went back and forth.

So like we've talked about this topic in general, in general, I want to kind of now, again,

with three months left in the season, a month regular season, two months playoffs, one month play in.

I really kind of want to nail down, okay, what's at stake here? What's at stake?

Who are the major stakeholders? And what are the storylines that are most, I don't want to say

most interesting, maybe most captivating.

And the ones that we are going to sit here and we're going to feel like, okay,

this is major, major, major, major, major, major, major, major, major, major history at play with what is about to happen.

And I actually really, and the reason I wanted to do this is because I, you know, some things I don't

love ranking other things, especially when it comes to NBA history, a historical precedent,

historical impact.
