Before KOC joins us, want to take a stab at the ones.

Some of them are easy and some of them are a little bit more complicated.

I would give SGA the back to back MVP.

It is one of the greatest guard seasons in the history of the sport, a sport that historically led more by big wings like LeBron or centers.

For the best team in the league to have the best player on that team be a point guard, shooting guard hybrid,

and just turn in his fourth straight 30-plus point per game season, this year the second leading scorer in the NBA, do it on 55% shooting, increasing basically every player efficiency rating, true shooting percentage, all of the advanced metrics say he's actually a little better this year than last year.

When last year Chet was hurt, this year Jalen Williams has been hurt, and that's not the only one.

They've been one of the most injured teams in the league while being one of the youngest teams in the league, and even with Denver, even with...

LeBron and Luka, even with Wemby, they got the best record yet again.

And it's been because of Shea.

So SGA would get my first place MVP vote.

Defensive player of the year.

If this isn't unanimous, it becomes the biggest story.

He honestly, Wemby's probably going to win, assuming health, and we'll see what happens with the 65 game rule.

He's probably going to win 10 Defensive Player of the Year awards.

The gap between him and, say, Chet Holmgren is just, it's so massive.

I call them retreats.

Players who dribble towards the lane and then just like, eh, I'm going to retreat.

I'm going to throw it in reverse.

I've changed my mind.
