All right, welcome on to a pod that is so important that a mere two people to discuss it was woefully insufficient.

One of our biggest episodes of the year, Danny, I've been doing our position ranking for the last two to three weeks or so here.

I'm going to bring in John Hollinger now as well to discuss the top 10-ish, probably more players in the NBA.

How are you doing, gentlemen?

Excited. Fired up. Let's go.

These are always really fun conversations.

So it'll be, there are few things I'm very interested.

A few things I feel like me and I've talked so much that we, I have some part of this.

Yeah, so let's just talk about generally what we're trying to do here.

We are assuming that an NBA season is starting right now.

And injuries have been turned off at the very beginning here just to the extent that everyone is healthy.

If you're injured right now, you're deemed to have be where you would be when you came back for that injury,

though certainly the propensity for that injury, though,

certainly the propensity for future injury must weigh into this, the propensity for diminished performance in light of past injury. You know, if a guy's coming back from a torn ACL or an

Achilles or something, thankfully nobody is really that we're talking about here. That gets priced

in as well. So of a NBA season starting today,

going through a regular season and a playoffs, who would you most want to have on an NBA team

that's trying to win a championship? John, what are some of the big things that you considered

as we're really trying to discern between the best of us? So I thought a lot about the playoffs, and I didn't want to get, it's hard, because I didn't

want to get too wrapped up in the playoffs to the exclusion of the regular season.

But at the same point, the same time, it's like those are the games that matter the most.

Those are the ones where you really see the high-end talent shine usually.
