With LaMelo Ball likely missing the rest of the season with a broken wrist, the ROTY of the Year race is suddenly much wider open than it had been presumed to be. Everybody seems to be piling onto the Anthony Edwards bandwagon, which makes sense because he has been playing very well for the past few weeks, but I don’t want to get on that bandwagon because that bandwagon is full of casuals. Being trapped in a confined space with so many individuals of limited basketball insight is not an experience I am eager to suffer. Their inane babblings, spouted unceasingly and at high volume, are uniformly more unintelligent than even the most ill-informed of the “hot takes” that I post to my channel.
Instead, I think I will get on the “Tyrese Haliburton for ROTY of the Year” bandwagon. The Haliburton bandwagon is a high-class bandwagon which only admits high-class NBA thinkers like myself. His recent body of work is not as impressive as Edwards’, and I’ll openly acknowledge that, but he’s been steady and consistent the whole season. Not only that, but he’s doing this for the KINGS, the franchise that is renowned for mercilessly destroying the careers of every player that they draft. To rise above the Kings Curse and play this well must take extreme effort on the part of Haliburton. That’s why he deserves ROTY of the Year, in my book. And that’s why I’m on his bandwagon.
Then there’s the “James Wiseman should be ROTY of the Year” bandwagon. We don’t talk about the people on that bandwagon.
