00:00The NBA Top 100 rankings came out from ESPN.
00:05Today they released their Top 10.
00:07I was curious where Giannis would finish in this.
00:12So they have number 10, Donovan Mitchell.
00:17Number 9, Tatum.
00:22Last year he was not ranked in their Top 100 because of the injury.
00:25Number 8, Cade Cunningham.
00:30Up from 12 last year.
00:32Number 7, Anthony Edwards.
00:36Number 6, Jalen Brunson.
00:42Up from 10, the Finals MVP.
00:46Number 5, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
00:52Now you're getting to the...
00:544, Luka.
00:55Yeah, usual suspects.
00:563, SGA.
00:572, Joker.
01:00Wemby.
01:00Wemby.
01:01Number 1, Joker.
01:02And number 1's Joker.
01:03He remains their number 1 player from last year.
01:06So, dub a Top 5 player.
01:08Or did I get got?
01:12Yeah.
01:13Okay.
01:14You got got, buddy.
01:15I didn't get got.
01:16I didn't say nothing.
01:16I didn't say nothing.
01:17I asked first.
01:18Okay.
01:18Well, that's fair.
01:19You are growing.
01:19I'll give you that.
01:20Yeah.
01:20So, Giannis, a Top 5 player, according to ESPN.
01:25Number 1 player in the East, according to ESPN.
01:29They said, Antetokounmpo continued to put MVP caliber numbers last season.
01:33Didn't finish in the Top 4 of MVP for the first time in 8 years because he missed so much
01:38time.
01:38The 31-year-old forward played just 36 games in his final season with the Bucs.
01:42And he'll enter his first season with the Heat, needing to prove he is still in his prime and can
01:46stay healthy.
01:46Both are true in 26-27.
01:48Antetokounmpo will remain one of the very few players capable of 30 points and 10 rebounds while also leading his
01:55team in assists.
01:56You think there's certain areas of that, which is, I think, a good thing, that some of that stuff will
02:06be taken off of his plate, right?
02:08Like, he won't have to do what he did in Milwaukee, but he can still, it'll free him up to
02:13be more of who he is, right?
02:18You know, for example, having a shooter around or a distributor around or BAM around and just being able to
02:26kind of do a lot of different things
02:29and be good at a lot of different things instead of having that be a demand on him.
02:34Joe Dirt says, Brunson is number one in reality.
02:37I prefer reality.
02:39Look, if they wanted to have Brunson up there, that's fine.
02:42I mean, he did just win finals MVP.
02:44I think they do a weird thing.
02:46See, the one thing with the top 100 ESPN does every year, they do this weird thing where it's projection,
02:51but it also kind of is a slice of what they did.
02:53So they're also projecting.
02:55Right, like, you can't be in the top 10 if you haven't done anything.
02:58Right.
02:58So it's not really a projection.
03:00Right.
03:00You have to have some credentials.
03:03Like, the highest guy who really hasn't done anything in there is Spida.
03:09Like, Spida really hasn't gone to the highest of heights yet with Cleveland.
03:13But he's on the outskirts.
03:14Like, he's right there inside the top 10.
03:16you're caught, be on the spine.
03:16Yeah.
