The Official NBA Season Thread: Derrick Rose Retires 🌹 / KAT Traded to the Knicks for Randle and DiVincenzo

[g-time]

Probably because Jordan is still a household name. Even almost twenty years after retirement.

While some fans might know who Kareem is, everyone knows who Michael Jordan is.

The finals trophy is still the Larry O’Brien and a good majority of households probably have no clue who that is.

Clutch player award seems silly. So who would have won last year? Derozan?

 

[big j 33]

All of these trophies stink

Hakeem getting his proper respect. Greatest defender ever

 

[QU!K]

Now that Cade is out for the season is any team going to be able to out tank Detroit?

Pistons in full Wembanyama mode.

Yo the Kareem disrespect is wild crazy

Adam Silver seems determined to make his legacy slapping the Kia logo everywhere and on everything.
Not enough things to add it to? Let's make some meaningless trophies. "Most clutch", that'll work.

I don’t care about who these awards are named after, but damn at least make the trophies look cool. Those all look terrible.

Remember when Hakeem went 1 in the draft we had

One of the most annoying parts is knowing that now the "Most Clutch Award" and its voting results will become an integral part of what is already some nasty discourse at times

No clue why they went with a 'clutch' award ahead of Offensive player of the year

Because that makes too much sense and straightforward so it wouldn't be as confusing/controversial in the aftermath of its presentation

I don't get all the complaints. Those vases look great

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Nice to see Jerry West

but not having Kareem as the MVP award is nuts.
