BT, however, loves the pursuit of records, seeing them as fascinating benchmarks that transcend team allegiance, regardless of whether a championship is on the line. It's a classic sports fan's dilemma, and we want to know where you stand!

| 0:51.7 | I can't get into the individual accolades, even with it being |
| 0:55.0 | for Alonzo's case, let's say, the Mets' all-time leader and home runs, it really doesn't do |

| 1:31.0 | I've been on basically the top three MVP bandwagon for Pete. |
