So like, I don't know, I just thought it was interesting and I think a lot of these lists are interesting because I never actually understand what is trying to be captured.

Max WildsteinGUEST

Max WildsteinGUEST
Again, I'm not taking anything away from a guy like Jokic, obviously, who's definitely at worst one of the top three players probably in the sport.

Max WildsteinGUEST
When he won MVP and he's just putting up all of those counting stat numbers, people kind of just look at that in its own vacuum, I guess.

Max WildsteinGUEST
Like, and I don't know, like, like again, like comparing like OG as a single individual, like to these other guys, I probably wouldn't have them like putting him in like every player's certain like, um, like, uh, environment, like, like you said, like it wouldn't work.
