  • Clearly knows nothing about ball

    Voted for who everyone with half a brain had 3rd or 4th in the MVP race as the MVP clearly knows zero and should not have a vote.

  • Enough Haberstroh

    I’m really turned off by the weekly Tom Haberstroh appearances. His takes are horrible, his NBA basketball knowledge is questionable, and the whole “Kev” thing is repulsive.
