So cool to join @bballilluminati pod as this week's Truth Teller.

For the last six years I've tracked the votes and voters for the #NBAMVP Award as votes are cast.

Surreal to talk about it with folks I've chased votes from before.

Participating in efforts like this produces fandom and supporters. Lifelong fandom.

More of this. Less brand promotion-only event participation.

@BuzzBulletinCLT Seen anymore? It has been quiet!

[Max Croes (NBA MVP Tracker Guy) @CroesFire]

As usual.

As a pool of voters who don’t disclose trend to the eventual winner.

The voters who do disclose present a more tight picture than the eventual outcome.

Rethinking if there are own goals in basketball

[Zach Kram @zachkram]

The Rockets were up by 6 points with the ball with 30 seconds left. They proceeded to:

- pass the ball to a Laker
- commit a 3-point foul
- turn the ball over again
- allow a game-tying 3

🏆 MVP Tracker @CroesFire is here to tell you who's going to win MVP, MIP, COTY and all the awards.

🗽 @tomhaberstroh @DarthAmin & @CornPuzzle are definitely on James Dolan's enemies list, as they tackled @pablofindsout latest surveillance story way back in October 2022.

🎠 The coaching carousel is in full swing as Billy Donovan steps down, Jamahl Mosley is a dead man walking and Steve Kerr rides off into the sunset.

@TheNBABase @TheHerd Nah.

She made her picks at the end of this TV show. End of show overlapped with ballots being due. This clip is from earlier in the show.

@dailythunder @BrandonRahbar Joke don't work. They got 4's and 5's.

[Max Croes (NBA MVP Tracker Guy) @CroesFire]

@WorldWideWob I think Duren will be on third team. Likely ends Harden's bid. Puts the most pressure on KAT. Removes a lot of varied 15th person votes.

Duren in a range RN including: Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren.

Voters discussing KAT have Duren ahead of him on their ballots.

@KevinOConnor Deadline for return? Voters have said several different things.

It's really important that you read this entire piece, but particularly that you read Chris Richards on... Chili's?

On how Chili's is... what makes us American? Why am I crying right now?

I'm ready to go to war

@semaforben @burgessev @SteveDaines Hi from Montana.

His barley field?

If Daines has a barley field that’s leased land. No dirt under Steve’s fingers.

Christian Pulisic to the ESPN broadcast after the game, unhappy about the crowd split at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati:

“I am not particularly happy with the amount of Americans here tonight, if I’m being completely honest.”

An American will be on Tottenham and Trump tariffs are gonna explode the cost of this kit

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

Tottenham will reportedly green light their purchase option for Real Betis and USMNT midfielder Johnny Cardoso this summer, as influential figures at the club ‘are adamant’ that his value has already risen since they initially agreed a deal less than 12 months ago.
