This shows what I mean about MBT Embiid At this moment.

If I had to choose an M v p, I'm giving it to joy and beat.

Look what just happened to the Lakers?

I don't know.

They're on a road trip and everyone loses on the road eventually.

And all that who didn't play last night.

They can't do it without a d.

They lost to a bad team are bad team.

Now look at M B.

Remember I told you LeBron has played all the games and beads missed four games.

You're like OK if they're comparable in value.

Obviously, the guy who played four more games is more valuable.

Except that hasn't heard this hurt Sixers in the standings, their number one in the Eastern Conference.

By the way, the Lakers aren't anymore in the Western Conference, so and what happened with him without embedded with that four games since it hasn't hurt the Sixers in the conference, but that four game shows is what they are with him and without him, their own four.

They got stomped out by the same team that just beat the Lakers, who they beat with them.

Beat.

So Embiid is the whole shooting match for the Sixers, with him their dominant.

They just beat the Lakers head the head and, by the way, and Beat was giving him the business to the point where they took him out of the game.

LeBron shoved him when he was up in the Air Gasol game, a little help from behind him.

A place to land and be came down so hard he really wasn't the same after that six or still beat him.

They they hung tough enough to beat them, but the Lakers came back on him and beads value is so pronounced to the Sixers, LeBron is great.

There's no question he's up there, but he didn't have a D, and they lost 21 of the worst teams in basketball.

If you're you're splitting hairs here but right now and beat the M V p of the league, I'm closing my eyes right now because I don't like when you give me a reason to come to the defense of LeBron James.

It really bothers you.

See, I'm one of those people that believe that LeBron get Listen, I'm I think LeBron James gets enough praise.

You know that.

That's why I had to put up the ticket.

Great husband.

Great.

You know, I think we should put it up.

Great father.

Great husband, great businessman, you know, very philanthropic.

I mean, the dude, he's unbelievable.

Okay?

And I think that it's appalling to me that people in his camp are disgusted that the fact that oh, my God, it is an insult to call him the second greatest player in the history of the sport ever created.

I mean, my God, to call him number two.

I mean, you just stabbing him in the heart.

Oh, my God.

What it is, you know, whatever.

Mind what you're saying about Jordan call abroad.

You know what I'm saying?

But in this case, there it is.

This is the constant.

This is a great husband, great father, generous philanthropist.

I mean, this is a director producer.

I mean, the guy's phenomenal.

I mean, just put it all up there.

Let's make sure we get that out the way.

But in this particular situation, it that's right, Hollywood power.

Put that it's all there it's all there.

The resume is impeccable.

But let me tell you something.

In this particular instance, this is what LeBron LeBron is.

Just This should discuss the Mac.

Your take.

Here's why.

Because we got a headline and we're talking about LeBron James and question of M V, P and O.

It's one game and guess what?

It's the trait you're sitting up there.

They don't do a bad team.

Our Max.

That's what happens.

Do you know the worst team in MBA history actually won nine games?

Do you realize that worst team in history actually won nine games?

Philadelphia 76 many years ago.

What I'm saying to you is this.

It happens and Anthony Davis doesn't play.

Last night, at least 10 dudes played 13 minutes.

You go in there against a weak team, you take it for granted.

You take a night off.

It's the regular season.

If this would a season has started on time.

I think this would be December.

You know what we care about?

This would be approaching New Year's Eve.

That's what this would be right now.

The season has started as regularly scheduled.

I'm saying is, listen.

LeBron has graduated to a point where it is so grotesquely unfair to look at him in an early regular season game and measure him in any way.

This brother is about, you know April, May and June, literally or figuratively speaking the postseason.

That's what he gets measured about to me.

What's alarming.

If I'm Anthony Davis, here's what I would say the Anthony Davis, my brother, You're finally being recognized.

The greatness that you deserve is one of the top five players on the planet.

If LeBron James, at age 36 in his 18th season, is playing more games and more minutes than you, we got a proud you should.

That should not be happening, because what LeBron is doing and what I believe he should be teaching Anthony Davis is that is one thing.

When you're a star or superstar quality talent, it's another thing when you're the headline.

See, I love for Kobe, God rested, so I love for M.

J.

I love for the elite superstars like LeBron.

He's included in that list that I will put him on that list in terms of being a headliner and consistently answering the call showing upto work when you don't want to because you know everybody is watching and they're coming to see you, and I'm saying a little unfair to a D.

I'm not.

I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm not saying that I'm not being unfair to a D because I'm not calling them out for anything.

I'm saying keep in mind a D That's the responsibility that you have now that you are a champion playing alongside LeBron.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm saying Bryant wrong yet I'm just saying Let's keep that in mind Moving forward for a D Kobe Bryant and LeBron James off the top of my head throughout.

Most of their primes, usually played in the seventies of games like Jordan, played 82 games every year.

When it wasn't 82 it was 81 or 80 but most of the modern players play in the seventies.

This was the second of back to back on a road trip.

That's why I'm not killing LeBron, of course, and Stephen A.

We're not talking about who's the best player in the game.

We're not talking about the championship or who's eventually gonna win the M v P I've been making the case.

I'm just I'm just m v p tracker regular season, which I don't even like that award.

I don't think it's that meaningful, but people care about it.

M v p Tracker Regular season At this moment, if you had to vote and beat and last night was, you know it is close.

You say you shouldn't judge him on this little kind of information, but when it's that close, every little bit counts.

They just lost to the Pistons without a D.
