It's a history one.
It's from John.
With Wemby's ascendance, if Luka doesn't lead the Lakers to a miracle title this year, there's a good chance he will never hold the best player in the league championship belt.
I know you love lists, so I'm curious who you think were the best five to 10 players ever who were never at any point of their career considered to be the best player in the league.
So I went through the pyramid.
First nine guys,
Don't worry about them.
10th guy on my pyramid list, Steph Curry.
Was there ever a point in Steph Curry's career where everybody agreed he was the best player in the league?
The 2015 NBA.
LeBron's there though.
Nobody thought he was.
Because it was so early for them.
He was the MVP, but nobody thought LeBron was better than Steph Curry.
Yeah, it was so early.
Wow.
That's amazing.
So you could say 2022, when he single-handedly basically brings Golden State to the title, I think he gets it for that year.
I think we left 22 and we're like, that's the best player in the league.
Okay.
