He's a four time regular season M v p, a four time NBA Finals, M V P.

And right now in the M V P race.

According to J.

A quarter way through the season, the King's at the top.

JSC vexing What's going on?

Because I wanna root for the 70 Sixers.

I love Daryl Morey.

I love Doc Rivers.

I like some of the pieces that they brought to the table, including Seth Curry, who can spread the floor.

Danny Green.

It could shoot, even though Danny Green sometimes looks very, very old on the court, especially Defensively Key, like he began roasted when he's on the island.

I now see why.

Why the Lakers like?

Okay, Danny like you cool over there.

But, like so I just don't trust you well and be.

And I last night watching him play and he's having an incredible season.

Like I said, he's in my M V P conversation.

I just wonder sometimes about his durability key when when stuff gets tough, when it comes time to make a play, Ben Simmons is horrible.

This year at the free throw line, Granny has been playing more aggressively down the stretch, and I know that.

You know Doc Rivers is supposed to unlock Tobias Harris, and he did have a game winning shot last night.

But there's something about this team.

This feels like they're lacking that leadership like that toughness and I.

I watched Milwaukee and are there questions around Yanis in the playoffs and teams building a wall around him?

But I watched through how they like you.

The holiday is a dog.

Chris Milton is more of a ancillary player.

Withdrew Holiday and Yannis and they can shoot the ball well.

From the outside, I watched the Nets.

Are there questions about them defensively?

Yes, but I still know they're gonna be trying to make moves during the trade deadline to find a big If that's a Aaron Gordon of That's a javale McGee to help them kind of build out defensively with this team.

I just feel like with what I watched, I watched basketball every single night into the wee hours of the night.

I feel like right now if I would've bet money, I would bet money on the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks being in Eastern Conference finals before I would have the Philadelphia 70 Sixers in that conversation.

Well, I think you know, first of all, you gotta give nb credit right it in falling under the spell of Coach Rivers and getting right now, Coach Rivers has changed everything in my mind about Joe L and B.

Based on what I saw last year, out of shape didn't look great.

Now he's running the floor.

He's knocking down the long distance threes.

The way is that in transition.

So when you start to look at him, you start to say Okay, I felt like that all along.

If you remember j dot going over there or Glenn Rivers going over there, I'm like, he gonna get them turned around.

Everybody, for the most part, was like, Oh, man, you can't get rid of him.

Move him, move him.

I'm like, no man, that dude gonna be all right.

So far, so good.

So far, so good.

These are the numbers that j mentioned.

These were the most important numbers because with them be it is, J said it's all about his health here.

The total number of games he's played in the n B a realizing most of these seasons or 82 games.

Right.

31 games, 63 games, 64 games, 51 games this year, 14 or 15 games they've played 19.

So even this young year, where he looks like an M V P candidate, he still is missing key.

He got a handful of happened on the stomach last night and fell on his back and literally, you could have felt a pin drop in that building.

Everybody got worried about it.

What happens with well is when he's injury prone.

He starts to settle, form or jump shots.

And until I see that mentality change her dwelling being, I don't know if I could ride with them to get to the Eastern Conference.
