With the awarding of awards Monday night, we can pronounce the 2018-2019 season officially over. The big award, the MVP, went to the Giannis Antetokounmpo, who set a record as having the most difficult to pronounce and spell name of any MVP award winner ever, surpassing Tim Duncan, Larry Bird and Bill Russell.
I thought James Harden was the true MVP, but I wanted Giannis to win because Houston’s offense was so unpleasant to watch — including for the four others Rockets on the floor with Harden. Each of them spent much of the shot clock standing around watching Harden dribble between his legs back and forth, and forth and back, and back and forth again.
