That's what they're gonna get.

Okay, So shout out, Shout out!

Let's start with you though, Jay will, because obviously you are the one that's sitting at home.

We've been talking about it, and you're a little bit of a small man.

But that's okay.

That's right.

Let's go put some respect on his height, he is actually listed as 62 Okay, so we're just going to go with that.

All right, J.

Rose, Let's talk about some irrational confidence, not just what you get from your hairline, but what you have on the court when you're playing the game.

Explain this.

To see what happens is people underestimate the value of everyone else.

So you see Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James KD.

But they got to play against somebody, and there are guys like me to sitting in the locker room like I'm gonna make a name off of myself right now.

And you know who's doing it the best in the league.

Jordan Clarkson with the Utah Jazz when he's playing against the Lakers, if he would have had some boxing gloves I think he would've started fighting him.

He was taking it personal, and I love that about him.

You cannot tell Jordan Clarkston that he shouldn't be the MVP of the league.

You can.

And I love that about him.

And they need every bit of that confidence and that productivity, because the Utah Jazz has the best record is if you look at this.

Look at it.

Look at the booth.

Awesome.

He balling this shit, Gonna get my got some love who you think you are.

He is irrationally confident.

The most are actually confident Player in the first half.

Okay, let's talk about the players that no matter the result, they're going to keep shooting.

You describe what this award is?

J.

Rose.

Explain it for the people.

Well, he with us, okay?

He with us.

Or like some, like, open for a reason every now and then where you like.

Hey, coach, You know, you should get it to me.

You know what I'm saying?

And he's like, Hey, young fella, come here.

Let me tell you before a reason.

And a guy in this league that has won back to back MVPs for a point of this year was open for a reason.

Yana said tend to cope.

Oh, now when he gets to the paint, he's ultimately dominant like we saw tonight and he improved his three point shooting in the month of February.

Terrific.

Win today.

However, if the bucks are gonna win the east, which I hope they do And I'm so glad he resigned the whole world was talking about Yana.

Surely if he makes shots, they can win the east Sold.

Sold on the two time reigning M v p.

All right, J will.

You got 9000 jobs, okay?

You do them all from home, okay?

But you work hard.

So we wanted you to give out an award for what else can I possibly do?

Who gets the What else can I possibly do?

Award What A J Rose.

What else can I do?

I mean, how many jobs you want me to have?

You want me to score?

You want me to rebound?

You want me to assist?

I mean, Luca Don, What else do you need him to do?

Mark Cuban.

Do you need him to sing the national anthem?

Can he sing the national anthem but we still singing the national anthem?

I'm not sure, but you need me to do it.

I'll do it.

You need me on the dance team.

You need me to work the scoring board.

You need to be, you know, with the DJ Booth.

I don't know, but this guy just accounts for 44% of this team scoring between scoring and assist.

What else do you need?

Luca don t to do Mark Cuban.

Tell him and this man will get it done.

I would love to hear DJ Luca.

Like what?

He would play pregame.

I would actually be open to that.

Maybe one more job we can put on Lucas Plate.

Sandra Rose.

I know you.

And you and Matt Williams.

Y'all He got your researcher over there in the corner.

You constantly going deep into the box scores with him.

You're trying to make sure you bring the great nuggets to NBA Countdown.

So let's let's go deeper inside the box score player of the first half, because so many times we're gonna judge a player like this by what they cannot do.

And this gentleman is playing on the best team in the Eastern Conference, and the first thing people do when his name comes up is talk about the fact that he doesn't make shots outside of the paint.

However, Ben Simmons is going to be in a conversation for defensive player of the year.

Doc Rivers now hasn't played more on a wing, unlike a traditional point guard, and when they the other team misses a shot three on 22 on one secondary break, he's as good as it gets.

And plus, he's still one of the best at kicking it out the teammates for open threes.

Look at that hustle.

So Ben Simmons is deeper into the box score, and you said J will get to work from home.

I'm gonna tell you why anybody's been watching.

Jane is 15 programs.

The last year has seen him in three different mansions.

You can google it right now.

This man is not only working, but he's eating, and that's why I love it.
