Advertisement And uh I really wanted to drop him out of the top 10 because I'm just kind of, I want to be out early on Tyreek for, for a variety of different reasons. Um, and I'm a little just concerned about coming into this season for him, uh, just overall with where he's at. Tyreek Hill did not make my top 10, and I think, I think we're on the beginning of the, I think we're on the beginning of the downslope. Uh, and so I wanna, I wanna bail. I, I, I, if I, if stock marketing, stock market has taught me anything, you want to get out early before, before it's too late, but, uh, yeah, so Tyree did not make mine.

Is this the best Thunder team ever?
Is this the best Thunder team ever? | Good Word with Goodwill Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and Yahoo fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus discuss Oklahoma City's run to the Finals and whether this year's squad surpasses the 2012 or 2016 versions. Hear the full conversation on 'Good Word with Goodwill' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript I was thinking about it then last night as the Thunder clinched. Advertisement First NBA finals since 2012. That was Durant, Westbrook, Harden. Last night was nine years to the day of the Klay Thompson game. Game 6 of the 2016 Western Conference Finals. Thunder were up 3-1, then they were up 3-2. They had a chance to close out the 73 win Warriors at home, and then Klay Thompson went berserk. That day led to all the events, I think that has happened. To get them back here. You lose Kevin Durant, you get Russell Westbrook, the MVP stuff and blah blah blah. You get Carmelo, Paul George, and then those, those trades wind up netting you, Shay Gilge's Alexander. Those other trades wind up netting you the draft picks that become Jaylen Williams and some of these other guys. Advertisement This looks like the best Thunder team that I've seen, period. It doesn't feel like it because you're like, man, that's Kevin Durant. That's James Harden, that's Russell Westbrook over there. I feel like this team, I don't know if they beat the brakes off the 2016 Thunder or the 2012 Thunder, but they beat them and I think they beat them good. So which team do you think is better, 2012 or 2016 Thunder? I would say 2012 because you do have James Harden who single-handedly put out the San Antonio Spurs in the, in the Western Conference Finals after going down 20. But there's a better Kevin Durant in 2016, theoretically a better Russell Westbrook in 2016, but there's still the combustibility of both of those players in big moments, whereas you don't think Shay's not gonna melt down. Advertisement J Doub's not gonna melt down. Chet ain't gonna melt down, not in those big moments. Yeah, I feel like the, I actually thought that the 2012 team was, was probably the best version of the Thunder at that point too. I think offensively, the current iteration of the Thunder stack up pretty well against the 2012. I'd say maybe you give a slight edge to the 2012 team. But the difference on the defensive end to me is is is the stark difference for me of this current Thunder team. And I think this Thunder team defensively is by far better than the 2016 and 2012. So I think that this version of the Thunder is the best version that we've seen of the Thunder in the history of their franchise, and I think that will be cemented when they win the championship.

How can Jordan Love improve in 2025?
Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice, fantasy analyst Nate Tice and NFL writer Charles McDonald's discuss what makes the Packers quarterback among the top-10 at his position in the NFL and where he can grow this coming season. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Matt, why'd you throw in Jordan Love in there? Advertisement Uh, optimism, they finally forgot the receiver room. Yeah, hi, I'm Matthew Golden. Uh, what do you want to see out Jordan Love maybe this year that has has him in your top 10. I mean, I just think Jordan Love is a really fun player. Um, he's a, he's a daring quarterback. He's a little bit of I don't want to say like a maybe like a Diet Coke version of, uh, Matthew Stafford at his best, and I think he also could tap into a little bit more as just a mobile quarterback too. I think, like, not that he's ever gonna be Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels or, you know, Josh Allen or something like that, but I think they could lean into his mobility a little bit more, uh, when he is healthier, hopefully here, uh, in 2025 and beyond when he was in 2024. Advertisement So altogether it just kind of felt like at times the Packers passing game. Never, it was like a little bit of a star crossed lovers thing. They just never quite got the timing right, whether it was wide receivers were injured or Jordan Love was injured or offensive line was banged up, especially there towards the end of the season. I am pretty confident just in the system overall, but especially just love as a player. I think he, arm talent wise, he can be up there with any of these top players. If he just smooths out like from the decision-making standpoint, I definitely could see him jumping up a tier in this list. Advertisement I just love big game hunters. I think last year he, he just has some moments where he's, he's, this is his DNA. He is gonna make some of the stupidest decisions, but then he's gonna act like it never happened, and he'll come back on the next series on the first play and rip one of the best throws you'll ever see in your life. And I mean that, and I don't just mean like, oh, very excellent, I mean. Some of the best throws I've ever seen on film. Um, but he also has some of the worst throws I've ever seen on film and worst decision. I love that though, like, and I think he's still so young, still learning this, getting in an environment that's just adding layers, you can see his comfort level. Advertisement Um, I always thought when his first year starting, full-time starting was He made the rhythm his own. Not everyone's gonna have the same dropback and the same timing. It's just, you know, hopefully you get the ball out on time, but you could see his confidence growing where he's adding that extra little bounce and it was just like, but it was his own timing. And, and it's just really cool to see a young guy kind of do that. Like you could see it click for him. Um, I thought last year was kind of a roller coaster, but the highs were still so high. And this guy can complete all the throws I want to see. Advertisement So it's just, I'm still staying bullish on him. I'm not including him in my top five like I did on a quarterback draft last year, where I, but that was also a future 34 years with contracts and everything, but I am still bullish on him for 2025 and really beyond.
