You're not going to make him play at your pace, no matter the scenario. I think that's probably when I noticed he was going to be really good. That being said, I didn't sit there in that moment and say, this guy's going to be an MVP one day. I did not think that highly of him in that moment. I don't think the Clippers thought that either.

I don't think the Thunder thought that when they made that trade. I mean, I think the Thunder were really high on him. They thought he was going to be really good. They trusted their internal development, all that kind of stuff. But I don't think they made that trade being like Shea Gildas Alexander is going to be a perennial MVP candidate.

And I will disagree with you, Dave, even though I wrote the story. I don't know if he's got MVP locked up. Really?

I can't tell you how the other voters are going to react, but in my mind, Jokic is firmly in the race. Firmly. And we'll see what happens over this last next month and a half. But it's too, it, to me, it's one of those situations where I don't really, I don't have a problem with either of the votes. Yeah. You're there too. There's something here where it's like bad candidates.

You know, I covered Jalen Brunson for a number of years, and he's a guy who I compare to SGA, not because of anything in terms of like this guy is equal to this guy, but more just because Brunson plays in a way and at a pace and changes speeds in a fashion that nobody else in the league does. He just stylistically is different from it. Everybody else.
