And that's what we'll keep the most attention on.

The guys who I felt bad about not get like apologies to Anthony Edwards, who, yes, was, you know, one of the toughest cuts on this exercise.

Luca deserves some part of this conversation.

Jalen Brunson, who has been in this conversation the last couple of years, probably deserves at least some consideration.

I will ask once again, plea once again for a seven man ballot.

Baseball has, I believe, a seven or nine man ballot, something like that.

It gives you a chance to acknowledge more guys.

And what we'll have, of course, across the spread of 100 voters is.

people will pick different combinations of that three, four, five, right?

Almost everyone will have Jokic and Shea.

And then the three, four, five will give us that spread of like eight, nine different guys who get votes.

But if we all got seven spots, you could give that extra, because then people say, how could you leave X player off your ballot?

Well, because there's only five slots.

I would love to have a sixth and a seventh slot to acknowledge Jokic

each of these guys on some, you know, declining level points wise.

No, but I figured I'd make that plea again as I do about once a year.

And then usually you or Rachel Nichols or somebody mocks me for wanting more ballot spots.

So maybe Adam Silber could give us a fresh look.

He likes giving things fresh.

Yeah, I'd been pitching a version of this to my editor, shout out to Matt Dollinger, since the fall, since we were in L.A.
