00:00I don't want to say he was angry about it,
00:01because he didn't sound like he was losing his mind over it there,
00:05but I think he wanted to be first team in the All-NBA.
00:08Who wouldn't?
00:11So, Michael, let me ask you, again, simple question.
00:14Does he have a right to be annoyed that he was?
00:16No.
00:17No!
00:18Okay, so before you go on, let me just say,
00:20here's who was on the first team All-NBA.
00:22Right, okay.
00:25Wembenyama.
00:26Yeah.
00:26I always have trouble with that.
00:27Wembenyama.
00:29Jokic.
00:30SGA.
00:31So, let me just stop right there.
00:33Nobody's touching those three guys.
00:35Right.
00:35Top three.
00:36There's your top three MVP candidates right there.
00:39Right there.
00:39Top three.
00:40Then the next two are Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham.
00:45They're your top five MVP candidates.
00:48Your top five MVP candidates are make up your All-NBA first team.
00:55And the argument for Jalen Brown is not popularity.
01:01It's not popularity.
01:02It is.
01:03Should Luka and Cade Cunningham been allowed to be on the first team?
01:08Because remember, they both got hurt.
01:10They both fell just short of the 65-game mandatory, this minimum, 65 games, which I have no problem
01:19with.
01:19Right.
01:2065.
01:20So, you're allowed to miss 17 games.
01:24So, they fell short of that.
01:25Should they be on the first team?
01:27Because if you have, if you take one of those guys out, I think he was the sixth guy.
01:31He was the sixth.
01:32Yeah.
01:32He was sixth in the MVP building.
01:33So, if you take, if you say Cade Cunningham is not eligible, then Jalen Brown's a first
01:38teamer.
01:38Luka not eligible is Jalen Brown.
01:40It had nothing to do with his popularity.
01:43It is, Luka led the league in scoring, and you had Cade Cunningham, who is the best player
01:49on the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference.
