Our first ever top 100 NBA players list! This episode was a bit of a mess to start so we apologize in advance for the issues. In the first portion of this episode Sam didnt have his list due to a technical issue. Trill forgot to rank Jaylen Brown - he would be 21 on my list - so bump everyone down behind him one spot.
