And yes, partly it's because of age.

James Harden's a 30 year old player whose defense has improved but has not played well in the playoffs.

When you need it most in pivotal moments, I'm not having James Harden in my top five.

Steph Curry, you could argue, even with his age, should be there because he sets the right tone for a franchise.

He's unselfish, his shooting abilities absurd.

His his handles, the whole thing.

So even though he's 30 years old, you may say my franchise over the next four years.

Give me Steph.

Trey Young's not on the list, but he gave Dodgers some burn.

Some run at the end there, I think Trey on Blue.

I think Dodgers should be way.

I think Zion Williamson is way too low.

If I'm starting a franchise, I'm betting that Zion Williamson will be a superstar.

Is Stephen a set box office and he's still a like Stephen.

A day, maybe two is a little bit high, but look away that he can play.

Luca can play.

I understand that, but what I think the only reason why him and Zion on that list is because of box office appeal.

I'm not saying they can't play.

Please don't get me wrong.

But day is Luca.

Is Rick you?

The year obviously he could play, but in the same breath compared to those other guys, I'm not put them on that level.

And in the cases I on, let's face reality.

We're looking at Diane and fantasizing about what he's going to be because of that.

He's got box off of a box of the office appeal that most of those guys do not say.

One more guy.

Understand that?

I'll say one more guy I mentioned earlier because of a gang culture.

Damian Lillard Damian Lillard is not only the next thing below.

An M V P candidate as a player on the court is in his physical prime.

With years to come, you would think loyalty tone setter, the way honest and tone setter in Milwaukee.

The fact that he wants to stay there, cultivate his own team, be competitive, sees the other team, is that I think he's Max is not wrong.

I'm just saying that when you put up a list like that, that's not what most people are thinking about.

That's all I'm saying.

If you go to basketball arenas and they start debating you about basketball, they're talking strictly about a cat's game.

We understand agent saying We understand age and attrition that factors in the You're not gonna want somebody.

We understand box office appeal.

We get all of that.

But what you're really, really talking about.

If you start debating the meats and bones about about about basketball talent, you're talking about skill set.

Who is what Who thinks?

What?

Stephen.

Back in the day after Jordan's second threepeat, someone said, You're starting a franchise.

You want Jordan or Shack?

No one thought Shack was as good as Jordan, but if anyone was starting a franchise day to take a shot kind of baby, but that's that.

But that's my point.

Which is why wouldn't be a debate because he's a baby and Jordan's about the Republican debate might be event.

But the debate might be the order, so you might say something like the freak is here, but I think maybe he hasn't reached his limit yet, so I'm gonna put him number one.

I think you get an even better, you might say Zion Winston, maybe box office.

But I'm not sure he'll ever be put him about you convoluted basketball arguments, and I respect it.

I'm just saying for me, I'm talking about your skill, what we did in that period.

Casey LeBron just got some bulletin board material for this upcoming season and Katie's comeback recovering from that injury.
