| 0:00.0 | Let's start with some NBA talk here, Sean, as we have a new MVP in the NBA, same as the |
| 0:05.9 | old MVP, Shea Gilgis Alexander. I don't think it's a big surprise to anybody. |
| 0:10.8 | No, and honestly, it's hard to argue with the numbers. |
| 0:14.3 | Now, there was a handful of guys this year that I think you would be justified to give a first |
| 0:19.3 | place vote to. |
| 0:25.6 | Maybe Luca, I guess that's the cutoff because you have SGA that got 83, |
| 0:29.1 | Joker got 10, Wimby got 5, which I thought was a little low. |
| 0:33.7 | Luca didn't get a first place vote, but he still finished fourth in the overall voting. And that's because largely he played 64 games and because all these other teams |

| 1:01.7 | He led the NBA with clutch points this year with 175. And he was the finals MVP last year. And now this is back-to-back |
| 1:10.0 | MVP trophies for him, |
| 1:11.8 | joining Janice, Steph, LeBron, Joker, and, yeah, those are the active players that have won back-to-back. |
| 1:19.7 | Also joining all-time Nash, Duncan Jordan, Magic Bird, Moses Malone, Kareem, Wilt, and Bill Russell. |
| 1:25.1 | So this is rare air for SGA. |
| 1:27.5 | And it's interesting in an age of Stan culture in the NBA, which, like, that's probably |
| 1:33.5 | bigger than, like, fandom itself is fans of certain players. |
| 1:38.2 | Like, Luca Donchich is that guy. |
