We ended up tolling more than a third of the NBA, the most responses that we've ever had to the 160 plus neighborhood, all anonymous.

And the other programming note that I will share

it is different.

And then I think some people won't like, and I think hopefully most do that.

You're going to be getting a lot of player poll for the next couple of months, because instead of dropping everything at one fell swoop, we decided to just kind of roll it out, you know, intermittently.

So MVP is up first, you know, the next one coming up is going to be which team do players think is going to win the title.

And then we'll be on our way from there and we won't draw it out too long, but the MVP is a really good place to start.

And the winner is,

is none other than Oklahoma City's Shea Gilgis-Alexander.

It was not particularly close, roughly twice the votes for Shea than any other candidate, but there's also these lines of demarcation.

The Joker, Denver's Nikola Jokic, was not only second, but again, roughly half of Shea, but about 3x the next tier.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, so we go Shea,

Then we go Joker.

And then you got Jalen Brown, Cade Cunningham, Luka Dacic.

We're going to put them in the next tier.

Roughly the same amount of votes.

And then last but not least, I thought this was one of the more interesting moments

Like you said, it reveals things.

Interesting to me, I don't want to give too much away, but down the line, one of the questions is, who's the best defensive player in the NBA?
