Nick Wright

And so there is... And I'll tell you this, Demanzee.

And maybe one of the reasons that tweet stuck in my head as much as it did was I could see myself, you know, one day in the future writing a very similar one about my guy Luka Doncic.

Like, Luka is better than Player X, but this player is...

a better fit for winning than Luka.

People bring up the Luka and Harden comps a lot, and I think they're totally unfair because Luka's been such a playoff killer.

He's been so good.

He's the second all-time leading playoff points per game guy.

His teams have constantly overachieved in the playoffs, played past their seat all of it.

With that said, we are, Luca is trying to become the first true exclusively heliocentric player

to lead a team to a championship depending on how you view lebron's game but like none of the other guys who played that way have won titles and it's still right now is like hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea like if you're trying to win a championship is

You would rather have Jalen Brunson than Luka?

That feels sacrilegious to me.

But I don't know that this Knicks team... That's the hard one.

No, and I think that guy was talking about peak Harden, but regardless.

But here's what I don't... As much as I love Luka,

I can't say the Knicks would have been better with him.

Like, because you literally couldn't have been better than they just were.

It would just be a tie.

It's not just that they won the championship.

They won the championship by annihilating everyone and by every single, and here's the ephemeral piece of basketball.
