The Oscars were Sunday night, but those aren’t the only awards being discussed right now. The NBA awards season is ramping up, with discussion for post-season accolades such as MVP, Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of The Year getting serious. Is this finally the year that James Harden will claim an MVP, or can a late season riser steal it from him yet again?
There’s a two man race for Rookie of The Year right now between Donovan Mitchell and Ben Simmons. Everybody else is just playing for recognition at this point, or at least get mentioned in the discussion. Which is fine, because that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Being mentioned in the discussion for an award might not have the same long lasting impact, but it does represent how fans and media feel about certain players.
So with that in mind, almost every team in the NBA has someone that has a chance at being in a discussion. Whether it’s one of the heavy hitter type awards like MVP, or something smaller like All-Rookie second team. Get those envelopes out and put on your best suit, because it’s time to discuss some NBA awards.
