I do a first team and a second team.

And the reason that it takes me a long time to write these stories.

And the reason why it takes me a long time is because like,

I think I had 66 guys on my initial list.

And then I was like, okay, I think I just named every perimeter defender in the NBA who's not a minus.

I kind of have to cut this down a little bit.

And I take out the guys where I'm like, okay, you know what?

Because something about me, I don't know, there's something in my brain, my internet brain, makes me feel like if I just put them in the Google Doc, then the commenters will know that I gave a shout out to their guy.

when they say, why is my guy not on your team?

Why is he not there?

Then in my brain, I can be like, I put him on the Google doc.

You should know that.

He's there.

You really should have seen that.

I can show you the Google doc.

And so I just, I kind of go through it.

I also use it as a good exercise to kind of prep myself because I'm a real awards voter for the real awards.

And so it's a good exercise to kind of prep myself for like being the most knowledgeable actual voter that I can be.

And, you know, in this case, I kind of narrowed it down to like,

maybe 15, 16.
