Do they have 3 teams? Luka and Dame say he is number 1, not just first team.
You’re right. There’s only two teams. Only 4 guards get recognized. I think this should be expanded. Too many really good guys left off. And let’s be honest, how many of these media types are dialed into - individual defense, how they play in their team’s system, how guys perform against them, etc…. My point is there are likely to be wildly disparate votes which makes for more potential for mistakes. Let’s expand to three teams, make them positionless and expand to 6 per 1st, 2nd, 3rd team.

That’s fair. I have a hard time with it thinking about him jacking up shots, but not a factor I guess.
But that does make a difference for this award. It shouldn’t but it does. You have to be on the floor enough to make these teams and you need to have a positive offensive impact to get steady minutes. And the media types are more likely to use this award to put two way players on their ballot and they actually use offense to break ties as crazy as that sounds.

This is the one award I think only players and coaches should vote on.

……..and he wonders why Denver didn’t bring him back.

Good LAWD.

Okay, I am officially done with Twitter for the day.

Just stop the madness.

This is so STUPID.

…..and disrespectful.

Lets rip out the Lincoln Monument and replace it with Biden or Trump.


Uuuhhh, maybe he could....I don't know....win a title or maybe an MVP award first.

Perk also picked the Lakers to win the West so now I'm fully expecting to lose both Play In games

He’s blocked by the best catcher in baseball and they needed to fill a huge gap in CF. Marsh is hitting .381 so far with 10 RBIs out of the 9 hole. He’s not going to hit that all year but looks to be a solid player.
