      It's going to be a consistency issue. Same with the Lakers, Suns, and Kings. All four teams have great players, but can they match up with different looks in a 7 game series? I don't think so. Nugs in 6

    Like the video, but in defense of Maxey-he’s still averaging 26 post Embiid and the team is playing at about .400 rate, very bad, but Maxey is kinda soloing

    From what I've been hearing it seems as if Kobe white from the Chicago bulls is the current favorite. Earlier in the season it was definitely Tyrese Maxey but the 76ers have been pretty bad with him out there alone trying to lead the team. I think it will come down between these two guys though j-dub is probably the guy who should win it.

    • @whatshorts

      I think if the Bulls can move to the 8th seed it'll be him. Otherwise it feels like the consensus is Maxey.
