KD says, the Sixers are better on paper than the 16, 17 Warriors. Easy money, it ain't close, laugh my ass off. Joel Embiid, MVP recently, Jaylen Brown, recent finals MVP. Tyrese Maxxie, All-Star, last three years. We all know what Braun does. Clay Thompson, never been an MVP candidate, and nothing, 22 points. Dreymon, 14-7, and six, Steph MVP, just like Joel. I don't get how the Warriors are better on paper. Let me tell you how, KD.
The Warriors had just went to back-to-back NBA finals. Yeah. This team didn't go to back-to-back NBA finals. Steph had just won the MVP unanimously. They had never been a unanimous MVP since or before Steph Curry. Yeah. Excuse me. Yes, since or before. Also, they were 73-9.
That's the difference. Yeah. 73-9. One team got knocked out in the second round. The one team had went to back-to-back NBA finals, lost in the NBA finals in the game seven. That's the difference. You were 31 LeBron is about to be 42 That's another difference. Other than that, you're spot on.
Anybody that can't see that?
I like it. Well, you made some valid points now. You made some valid points.
I'm just, it's not, it's not. But it's a, it's a- Let me ask you a question, Joe. Tell me the team that's won 73 games in a season. Ain't been but one. Tell me the guy that's been a unanimous MVP. It ain't been but one.

**Joe Johnson** (1:48)
It's been two, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:49)
It's been one. It ain't been but one. LeBron, LeBron finished one vote short. Shaq finished one vote short.
So those are the only time Jordan Neville was a unanimous MVP. We can't, we can't go back to the players because you do realize before 1980, the players voted for the MVP. Yeah.
So they took, they took, the players used to vote, but they said, oh man, now we took, they took it away and gave it to the, gave it to, you know, the, the writers. Yeah. So I get what KD is saying in theory. He said, hold on, look at this loaded ass roster. Yeah.
If, if, if the Thunder goes, they won last year, they lose to the Knicks this year.
The Thunder knocked the Lakers out of the Western Conference Finals. LeBron goes and links up with them at 32
You got me. Yeah. You got me.
You know, you know, you know what, Durant basing it off of, he's not basing it off of LeBron's age. He's just basing it off because it's LeBron James and how great he is. It's a testament to his greatness that, you know, wherever he goes, it's pretty much makes them a damn super team to some degree. Yeah.
I mean, people are thinking about what you call the super team before KD got there. Ain't nobody thought. So, hold on. Look at what their numbers were. They were, even though Cleveland beat the Warriors in the NBA Finals, the following year before they got Kevin Durant, who was the favorite to win the NBA Finals, Joe? The Warriors. Thank you. Yeah. So that's why I was so lopsided when KD joined, because we were like, man, this shit don't fail. They already was the favorite, and now you get the second or third best player where you had him and Steph and LeBron rank, but he is a top five player. Yeah. Yeah. Look, nobody thinks LeBron James. Y'all know I'm the biggest LeBron fan. LeBron's not a top five player currently. Not. Yeah. I ain't finna hold y'all. Y'all know what I think about LeBron. He's not a top five player currently.
Oh, yeah. He finna come out and show y'all something. This year, you got him bent. Oh, he go, Joe, I'm not saying that he can't play, but Joe, think about what you're asking. You're asking a 42-year-old. Let that sink in for a second, Joe. Never in the history of the game. I know, and we ain't never seen it, Unc, but I'm looking at how this man taking care of himself. Yes. I just feel like he's so determined to win another title. Whether he come out and say it or not, it ain't about ring. He wants to win, man. For sure. I think he enjoys this stage of his career, knowing that he's closer to the end. I mean, being at 42, he's doing something that's never been done. Man, this man, I think he's enjoying this moment. I think he's really, really trying to do whatever he can to capitalize on this moment as well. People saying if he win this year, they don't think he's going to play again. I think he's coming back.
