Russell Westbrook is among a contingent of NBA players who don’t believe media members should vote for awards, mostly because they’re not adept enough to process what they’ve seen and aren’t involved in the daily grind of seeing what players are actually capable of on the basketball court.
Kyrie Irving adopted a similar sentiment when the NBA took 50 percent of the fan voting for All-Star starters and turned it over in equal 25 percent shares to media and players. Given that nobody grinds more than the Grindfather, Westbrook and Irving must think Tony Allen had done his homework.
