Absolutely.

Well, which which but which, by the way, points up once again, the fallacies and the folly of this whole process.

The East, we barely have enough guys to get to 12.

The West, we've got a bunch of actual snubs of guys who could make it, but they're not all going to make it.

Because it's U.S.

versus the world anyway, the ballot should be different, and more of the guys in the West who we just snubbed should be making it instead of some of the guys in the East who we're going to put on by default now.

Anyway, let's get to these.

No, no, no.

Didn't make the cut.

Um, so by the way, it's a bad sign that it was so easy and it was unanimity among players, media, and fans.

The three voting bodies all were exactly in lockstep on the starters for the East in, uh, Giannis, Jalen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey was like, and when I was doing the ballot for that exercise, like almost easy, right.

With apologies to Donovan Mitchell, who I did think for a second, but he just, I couldn't put him past any of those guys.

And especially given how the Cavs have been kind of lackluster.

Um,

And it, that was so easy.

And then the, the, the reserves were like frigging brutal.

Right.

There's just not, there aren't seven worthy guys.

And even in trying to like, or who am I like, usually go like, or who am I locks?

Then I'll figure out the rest.
