It's kind of hard to take your UFC advice seriously after every one of pronounced Donald Cerrone's name incorrectly.

More than halfway through the season, and Doncic is pretty much a lock for rookie of the year. While Embiid is playing great, I think top 3 MVP candidates are Harden, Giannis, and Jokic. Just interesting to hear what people were saying before the season started and comparing to what actually happened.
