00:00But how about this I frame the question like this because I think you're probably right about that right there
00:03Maybe need to be what but
00:05Ross Ross won MVP as a six seed when he averaged a triple-double and I think I'm kind of like regret that right do you
00:10think Denver
00:12the Nuggets are closer to being a top two or three seed in the West or
00:17To being the seven eight nine or ten and being in the play-in tournament. I
00:21Think they're much closer to the play-in tournament
00:23I think that's where they're at like the team is like they lose
00:26Contabious Caldwell Pope like a CPS over in Orlando now
00:29But that was a team that like when they were together and healthy they were awesome the last couple of years
00:34But now like the obviously like the NBA like the second apron all that nonsense stuff for the CBA
00:39It's sort of pulled their team apart and you see some of the cracks right now and watching Denver to where wow
00:44This team can't shoot like yo kits like you wonder why like he gets these assists
00:48But like it's honestly like he should have way more if these guys could actually knock down open shots
00:53And then here's Russell Welsberg
00:54He comes under the court the team goes in the tank because he's like a net negative player
00:58Even though he's gonna have the high-volume stuff
01:00But like at this point of his career Russell Westbrook isn't the guy that was there like four or five years ago
01:05So it's just gonna be tough for the Denver Nuggets to like be that top three and probably needs to be top two
01:11Because Russ won as a succeed yo kitch has won MVP as a succeed
01:15But those are also like their first MVP or their second MVP
01:18This would now be a fourth MVP
01:20Which puts you in like the LeBron and like Wilt Chamberlain class
01:24Which I think the voters are gonna hold hope yo kitch to a much higher standard
01:28Compared to his contemporaries like the other guys in the league like SGA or Luca or Tatum or whatever wanted to last year
01:34It felt like why they just couldn't do it couldn't be to do it
01:37I basically they went they finished tied with Oklahoma City and OKC got the one seed on a tiebreaker. Basically. Yep
01:42A hundred percent. They just couldn't do it and you got hurt
01:46Yep, and be it was supposed to be in beads here. He only plays 39 games
01:50He doesn't win the award so they were kind of just stuck like nobody like felt that SGA was the guy yet
01:54I think that's much different this year
01:56Like now that he finished second everyone is very much on board with SGA as winning MVP
02:01But right now like I don't see how they win enough games for him to do it
02:04So as great as he is and he is great with a capital G
02:08I just would never bet Nicola yo kitch right now until we got like into the March or so and every voters telling you
02:14Hey, it's probably gonna be yo kitch
02:15I got that point then you have to kind of pivot and then go on to the yo kitch train at a much shorter price
02:20But right now at this point in the season even at the price of eight to one
02:23Which is as long as he's it been in like the last week what three to four years?
02:26I would never bet Nicola yo kitch just cuz I don't think the team's gonna be good enough and that's what's required if he's gonna
02:31Get into that rarefied air of being a four-time MVP
