The big talk around NBA circles this year has been about the amount of time fans now have to wait in order to see who won the regular season awards. It’s hard not to side with the fans on this one since the last time the Dallas Mavericks played was on April 10th. That means that the last time the players involved in these awards played a relevant game was 75 days ago.
Obviously the NBA needs to make some changes, but those can’t happen today, so let’s focus on what is actually happening. Tonight, the awards for Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and other awards will be given out.
