Justin Verrier

Doesn't look good on his case.

And also, I can't remember an MVP in years past that just missed a solid month of basketball.

And we're like, because availability is a big part of this, right?

Sure.

And then when he comes back, he just isn't the same guy.

Nuggets were 5-7 over the next month or so of basketball.

He turned the ball over, just was willy-nilly with it a lot in weird ways that he typically isn't.

He shot pretty poorly from three during that stretch.

He just wasn't that guy.

And so...

Lately, he's been lights out.

He bests Wemby the other day.

And we can get into Wemby, Jokic, and where they fall on the 2-3 in your guys' ballots.

But overall, that's like two months of basketball where I'm like, he's either not there or not the same guy.

And for me, that tilts it in Shea's direction.

And so ultimately, I thought this was pretty clearly Shea, even though these three guys, I think, have very good cases.

I mean, maybe for the first time in group chat history.

This is very weird that we all agree.

Yeah.

But Shay would be back to back.
