It's a month before the NBA All-Star weekend begins, and Monday was the day that voting for the game ended for fans - and media members that were fortunate enough to get a ballot.
Given that responsibility, this is when the unveiling happens and when fans get to tell me why I'm an idiot for not putting Russell Westbrook on my All-Star team.
The reasoning is clear.
For me, it all came down to record.
Oklahoma City has done well, but Houston has exceeded every expectation anybody had for new coach Mike D'Antoni's team.
They are solidly the third seed in the Western Conference and pushing the Spurs for the Southwest Division.
