    0:00 Stephen A. doesn't think Ball deserves to be ranked ahead of Donovan Mitchell, Ben Simmons and Jayson Tatum.
    2:51 Max Kellerman takes a closer look at the criteria of the list.
    6:00 Stephen A. can't believe where De'Aaron Fox and Devin Booker are ranked.

Did anyone at ESPN think Melo deserved the #3 spot? Maybe, but what's more likely is they did something they thought would be controversial to provoke a reaction. Because reactions get clicks, clicks get ad revenue.

      The reason why we broke out in February was because we had news of Tesla buying $ 1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, which served as a major catalyst in further creating new all-time highs. Up until that point, we were on a downward trend and eventually trading sideways, like we're seeing now. It wasn't a technical breakout that drove Bitcoin to new highs in February, it was more fundamental news of adoption by major institutions. We need to see more of that if we're going to repeat the growth that we saw last month. Until then, I have a feeling that we're going to be trading down and sideways, looking at the current situation I would suggest tredlnq with Daniel Wright to.make more gains from all this as I have made over 8btc in just 3 waeks of trading with hlm, here are his details on Tel- gram ( @Danielwrightfx) for his assistance on strictly crypto related..

Ans that everything you said is irrelevant and that you should read the whole article OR LEARN HOW TO READ. Its clear ESPN is only paying Stephen A for his loudmouth, not his Analyzing skills.
