"Hot take that I don't actually believe, but like, you know, maybe in like 5 years I'll believe it. Yeah. Is that I would never draft a white American ever? Okay. We gotta work out that in the hottest thing. Just cross them off the draft boards. There hasn't been a first team all NBA American white dude since I think like the one year mark price was it or something? Is that true? Yeah, you're right, Kevin Love was only second team. And I think before that, I mean, I think before that, it's bird pretty much. There might have been one year where Stockton might have got first team one year, maybe. But like, that's it. That's a ridiculous. Would I used to do my MVP calm when I was a writer back when my fingers were? I used to hand out maybe it was for that or the trade value used to hand out the Mackey award, the Paul mccaskey award for the best white guy each year. Kevin loved one at like four straight years. He was just like cruising. Yeah. Taking it down. All right, speaking of awards, it's time. Okay. The Tyler awards for 2022 season. The only instructions you had for this were the weird and the wacky, the things that you just gravitated to is somebody who loves the underbelly of the NBA. That's the weird stuff. Enjoys things like Kyle Lowry, watching Jimmy Butler and Eric spoelstra about to get into an argument. And he just says fuck this and he's out and he walks onto the court. You're trying to interview him. That's the stuff that you love as a basketball fan. Yes. Yeah. Your text said it was NBA characters of the year. Your personal MVP ballot from a character slash comedy slash social media ruckus standpoint. Great. All right, let's hear it. What are we doing? We work in 5 to one one to 5. Let's go 5 to one. Let's build some drama. All right, let's do it. Let's skip. You know, I think that I think that for 5, we're going to kick it off with Joe LMB. Okay, let's hear it. The a lot of these are just specifically for kind of one thing, maybe. Some of them, they've built up a lot of, they've got a lot of notches in their belt. But this is specifically just because after the after Simmons trade, he tweeted a picture of the funeral, the guy who goes to the funeral for his number one hater and he has and he's just like dressed in like all black or whatever that have you seen that picture. He tweeted that after they traded Simmons and then when someone asked him about it, he said, I saw the picture on the Internet and thought he was well dressed. And that was his answer. There was no underlying message in the tweet at all. I just like this close. I thought he was I thought I thought he looked good that day. I would add to that award, which I think is the right spot for him. Unbelievable job of reigning himself in about the Ben Simmons thing. He sees one along. You think every day the most annoying person in your life, which for him was probably Ben Simmons and reporters are just like, hey, what's up with this Ben Simmons thing? Yeah. Think about it. Did you see what Benson and he just never took the bait? I was always surprised. It really is impressive that it was that it wasn't more because it could have been, I mean, it was open season in a way, I guess, but it could have been a lot. Yeah, it could have been. All right, number four. Number four, I cheated here a little bit. And I put the curries. I have Stephan Aisha here for the married couple. And you know, specifically just because of the beat the curry's game during the about last night promo that happened in between the three point contest with dunk contest. They got food. I don't know why that doesn't happen every year. That should probably replace the dump contest thing this point is just that. They should bring, they should bring two chains. And she left back every year, bring Stephanie ready back every year. I've never, yeah. So you'd rather have that than three ball. I mean, based off of this year, I'd rather have that than the dunk contest at this point. But I don't, I mean, stuff should be in the actual MVP discussion way more.
