Like, Jalen Brunson just got to New York.
What are you doing?
Now, obviously, Becky Hammond knows a lot about basketball.
She's a Popovich disciple.
She played basketball.
Like, listen, her basketball credentials, they don't need any introduction.
But the reality is when you get in the opinion business, you open yourself up.
And I feel like she dropped her gloves here saying some—
Kind of wacky stuff.
And she cited Steve Nash, John Stockton, small guards who never won anything.
Stockton was never the best player on his own team.
Forget that.
By the way, that was like 80s and 90s.
Steve Nash, two-time MVP.
I mean, he never had a team that was, to the best of my knowledge, favorite to win the title.
They were good.
They were fun.
I don't think the reason they weren't an elite team was because of Steve Nash, but that's neither here nor there.
So then she brought up Allen Iverson.
And she says, to quote her, Allen Iverson won the MVP.
