Soon there'll be a trophy for getting the first overall pick

sorry the way basketball rules work currently.
a guard is almost certainly not going to be the best defender in basketball

Which is why a guard rarely if ever wins. Nothing wrong with one winning every few years or so.

isn't the MVP Kia sponsored now?

well i mean other than the fact that he obviously didn't deserve it,
yah nothing wrong.

Sponsored by KIA, but the literal trophy is named the Maurice Podoloff Trophy.

Let addict4sneakers tell it, defenders should never switch. Just leave that man open for a corner 3.

Back from hooping. Build around Tobias

joel and harden iced him out in the final 5mins of 4th qrt when he was the hottest shooter atm. His last shot came when he hit a 3 at 5:03 left in 4th

next shot came at 2:52 in 1st OT which he made

i believe he had 2 in 2nd OT which he missed both though but was already down by like 6

it was a **** show to watch honestly just a horrible constructed offense

team was more fun to watch without embiid and harden if im being completely honest

Right. All the awards have specifically named trophies associated with them -

NBA Awards: Award Categories, History and Winners

The NBA Awards celebrate the greatest talents, contributions, and moments of the NBA season!

I'm cool with the extra trophies all long as they are for a good reason. Regular season trophy makes sense.

I think the conference finals MVPs are kinda dumb. They should be conference playoff MOPs.

Secondly I think the most obvious area where the league should make changes with the award structure is All NBA teams. They should have like five of them. But owners are too cheap to agree to such a thing.

We need awards for the worst contracts aka the Nasir Jones trophy

Spoiler

 

[pums]

Scoring champ shouldn’t be highest PPG it should be most points scored in total.
Need to reward players for playing more games

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Thru Q1 it’s Giannis or 1 of the Cleveland bigs

 

[RustyShackleford]

Draymond should be a lock for this...

These trophies remind me of the kobe ASMVP trophy. Same designer I’m assuming?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Feel like the Warriors are one trade away from winning the chip. Wonder if they pull the trigger.

Who they trading?

 

[WASHED KING]

Dray or Lebron are the only options.

 

[amitt5504]

Dray for Goober

Most wholesome man in sports

This is awesome lol

 

[Kinfolk]

out of self-preservation, i’ll keep any other thoughts to myself.

a lot of NBA teams have “heritage” nights. warriors were doing polynesian heritage night during today’s game. i assume they’re doing this because 12/21 falls during hannukah this year?

I'm gonna keep any other thoughts to myself as well.

But can you remind me when Muslim night is?
