00:00Great answer, though, and he was asked about it, point blank, right?
00:03So this isn't, like, from the outside, oh, Jalen Brown talking about MVP.
00:06No, he was asked, point blank, do you think he should be the MVP?
00:09Victor Wimbayama a week ago gave a whole spiel why he should be the MVP,
00:12and you know what?
00:13Go for it.
00:13I don't mind if these guys pitch it.
00:15Don't downplay the fact that you would want to be the MVP.
00:18You should.
00:19It can still very much be within the team construct and the ultimate goal
00:23is to win a title, but why not try to be the MVP?
00:26Pretty good answer.
00:27You know, he's, like, looking at it, he's like, well, he didn't say it,
00:29but, like, SGA, like, look at SGA's numbers.
00:32His team's also won a lot of games.
00:34Maybe a little bit more talented of a team, but they've won a lot of games.
00:36His numbers are fantastic, so he'll probably win it if you're just doing that.
00:41But I think Brown's best case is what he was saying,
00:45and I don't know if all the voters will feel the same way.
00:48Some might, where they, like, look, he started the year not just without Tatum,
00:53but really with a whole new team, like, basically a new starting lineup.
00:56He was, like, he and Derek White, and they're back this year.
01:00The expectations were lower, not as low as, you know, he has said,
01:04not the straw man that he's gone with.
01:05Not gap year low.
01:07But not two seed in the East.
01:08Definitely not.
01:09And for him to have career highs in points, rebounds, and assists,
01:12and be probably the best player in the conference,
01:16and right up there with those guys.
01:18You know, Jalen Brown's been all NBA once, and it was second team,
01:22and it came at a perfect time because he was able to get the Supermax.
01:25But he's sort of viewed around the league as, like, an all-star,
01:27maybe a top 20 guy, maybe top 15, depending on where you're at.
01:30He has put himself in the top five conversation for this season,
01:34so I think he deserves, like, recognition.
01:37But it was interesting to hear him answer it the way that he did.
01:39I agree with him.
01:40I mean, look, he's like, analytically, no, there's no number that supports that.
01:44But look at where the team's at.
01:45I put my blood, sweat, and tears into it.
01:47I didn't mind that answer either, quite frankly.
01:50And I agree.
01:50He was asked point blank, like, what are you going to do?
01:52Yeah, yeah.
01:52Answer it?
01:52No, no, no.
01:53Good answer.
01:54Maybe he has to get asked the question.
01:56No, he's not like Johnny Coles.
01:57Some of these sit-downs happen.
