Chafed over the NBA imposed wait between the conference finals and the much anticipated Cavaliers-Warriors NBA Finals? Then you’re going to love the NBA Awards Show, which is still two and a half weeks away.
After years of successfully creating buzz and playoff narratives by handing out hardware during the playoffs, the NBA is turning things on their head. Instead, Adam Silver and crew will cash in on their awards by hosting a full-fledged awards show hosted by Drake with a performance by Nicki Minaj on June 26.
While it makes sense for the league, for fans it’s pointless and poorly planned.
