00:00I know there is a ton of guys on the grid that continue to look at Victor
00:07Wembanyama's price not to win NBA Defensive Player of the Year that now
00:11available he's an odds-on favorite at minus 160 but a 29 to 1 number on Vic to
00:17win the NBA MVP hardware. I don't think he can do that because I don't like
00:22looking at the Spurs can they have a great record here moving forward right
00:26if you're gonna win the MVP at that price point of 29 to 1 I don't know if
00:30that's gonna happen great talented player I just don't think so but the
00:32Koliokas plus 360 price to win the MVP come on now like we know at every turn
00:37they're gonna try to not give him this award so the fact that he's the favorite
00:41to get a little bit of a chuckle of because if Luka Doncic and the Mavericks
00:44have a good season and Doncic is healthy and plays the 65 plus games he's gonna
00:48get the benefit of the doubt J Gilgis Alexander right on the cusp of an MVP
00:52last year if OKC takes that next leap and dominates once again doing the
00:56regular season he is going to be elevated up and also Anthony Edwards at
01:00that 12 to 1 price is intriguing and then you sit down at Brunson at 16 to 1
01:04the Knicks gonna have a very very good regular season team to say the least
01:08we'll see what they do in the in the you know playoffs itself but as we know it's
01:11a regular season award if Brunson plays extremely well next year he should be in
01:15that running as well I'm just think it's interesting that yes we think Jokic is
01:18the best player in the world but we know they don't want to give him that award
01:22again therefore how do you bet him as the favorite your bet you don't you
01:26shouldn't and you can't frankly if I were to say Nicola Jokic is probably
01:31going to put up the statistical numbers that we have seen the Joker put up
01:35there's an argument that the year Joellen bead won the MVP award two
01:39seasons ago in the NBA Jokic's numbers were better than in any of his NBA
01:44winning seasons of that MVP hardware so it's not that his numbers are going to
01:49fall off or he predict that he or the Denver Nuggets struggles it's the
01:54narrative behind it Victor women Yama minus 160 to win the DP oh why
01:59defensive player of the year award last year triple J Jaron Jackson just for
02:05Kim just for comparison's sake of the Memphis Grizzlies was the preseason
02:09favorite to win the defensive player of the year at a plus 500 number Vic already
02:15at minus 160 that's pretty crazy how again we expect him to dominate because
02:20he's just gonna be in the way he's too tall and too lanky he's gonna be in the
02:24way of every single shot attempt from his opponents once again and getting
02:27that second year we always say like where do you typically improve in a
02:30football season games won the game number two imagine him playing his
02:34rookie you're gonna be okay I got the lay of the land now I'm ready my
02:37offseason the approach is gonna be slightly different than what it was in
02:40the past webinar should have a very very good season which includes blocking a
02:44ton of shots and being a problem in the paint yeah for offensive teams
