Yes, indeed, indeed.

Yeah, but I think a lot of Lakers in my future in the first round, most likely.

But, you know, it's that time of year.

Yeah, it's funny.

I forget where I saw this.

I saw some, and it wasn't pushback on me individually, but pushback on the idea.

that, you know, them needing to be first would be a qualifier.

And I thought that was fair.

It's not that I'm saying that that's what would make me vote for him.

I just think in terms of the way that voters' minds work, when a team passes a team like a reigning champion, you know, OKC Thunder, and does it after a season, you know, where the Spurs didn't even make the playoffs, that is the sort of kind of, you know,

event, if you will, that is going to compel and force people to reevaluate Victor.

And I think even with all the recent noise, you're going to need a lot of people.

You got to really pull them away from SGA and make them reevaluate Wemby's case, because I think Shea has been out in front by a pretty significant margin for a while now.

Now, it's funny you highlight accurately, Dave,

that Wemby has been doing some serious work and cutting into... I mean, I don't know if he's cutting into the lead or just making his case, but the thing I love across the board, not even just with Shea, with Luka, Joker's just doing his thing, but with all these guys...

is the idea that it feels like Wemby is pushing the whole group.

That, you know, when he came out publicly, said he wanted it, said he was coming for it, that, you know, man, if you're SGA and you were giving any thought to coasting down the stretch and just getting ready for the playoffs, then you look up and you're like, all right, I'm about to lose another Michael Jordan trophy if I do that.

And then Shea has been absolutely killing.

I mean, his outing against Detroit was,

was so much fun to watch, coming right after Wemby scores 41, I think, against Chicago.
