Let me do the uncomfortable part that you'll be upset with me on in the beginning.
So despite the fact that many of your LeBron and basically all of your Mahomes takes have infuriated me,
This is the one show that I always wanted to go on, and I've been very lucky that I had never been on, and I wanted to tell you, God, it might have been 20 years ago, close to it, because we have a mutual, we both have a friend, Connor.
I grew up with him, and you've known him forever.
I compiled in Microsoft Excel the archive of
your nba player trade value all of them like like year by year for all of it to try to see like what the overall like amari sotomayor once was a six and then fell off and tried to do a whole like smart thing of like could you then retroactively do it for previous eras with this is the template to see like 1970s kareem how does that compare to like 2000 aughts
And then I never had the back in the day, never had the gumption to actually ask Connor to send it to you.
And I couldn't find it right now.
So this is I am a longtime reader and admirer.
And so it is fun to be on here.
And I'll be able to finally debunk some of this Mahomes stuff.
It's been so hard.
Oh, that's good.
So this is, listen, you and I are similar in that we just say in like regular conversation, like, yeah, he's, you know, he's top 18.
Like round numbers, like we're being precise here because it matters.
Yeah.
And I get very upset.
when the our mutual dear friend the legend zach lowe i sent him like four years ago a text because he just said almost flippantly like kevin durant you know one of the 10 greatest players of all time and i texted him i'm like i'm like zach if you put pencil to paper you would not you would not agree with yourself there like there's the problem with top 10 did you only have 10.
And so I think top like SGA, I find so interesting because I can't think of another domestic player that you that ended up being an all time legend that through the first two years of his career, no one thought all time legend was possible.
Do you understand what I mean?
