You guys did this yesterday.

It was great.

Actually, I wanted to clip it so bad.

It was perfect.

It was so good.

Shegildas Alexander, first, 88 first-place votes.

Not unanimous.

I kind of love that it's not unanimous anymore because it was really becoming unanimous in previous years.

I like this.

Victor Wimbinyama, eight first-place votes, 63 second-place votes.

Nikola Jokic, third.

Now, the books do not have it this way.

Very interesting.

The books all say that Luka is third, Jokic a distance fourth.

And by the way, this was done earlier in the year.

It has nothing to do with Luka's horrible performance last night against the Thunder.

Jokic comfortably, three first-place votes, Luka Doncic zero, 22nd-place votes, Luka Doncic six.

So this is a television, ESPN, talking head, manufactured talking point that Luka actually should be number one, and it's a pity if he's anything lower than third, and a little bit of a sportsbook to know where to get the money.

The fish at the table are always the Lakers fans who get this story in their head that everyone hates this, this, or that.

Nope.
