Kevin O'Connor is banned, he's just filling in for Mike. We talk about KOC's Jokic vote for MVP, and whether he feels bad about it. We also talk about whether we'd rather have Jokic or Embiid for one season to win a title. Then we discuss whether the Sixers are title contenders, the outrageous individual scoring in the NBA and what can be done to bring value back to the regular season. Finally, we get another scary Q-Tip story. Listen to KOC on The Ringer Draft Show and The Mismatch.
