2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

its cool how theres only one you just get to hold it for a while

stanley cup, the heisman and the green jacket are the only good trophies.

boxing title belts too

yeah belts are nice, i watched a doc about roy jones and he was talking about how the first belt he got was just some lil regional one no one even knows about but he really wanted because it was green lol

all the awards should be tiaras and the nominees stand onstage at a live event and then ernie johnson walks behind them and playfully holds the tiara over each nominee's head and whoever gets the most cheers wins

sold

i feel more neutral about all the renamings,

i think the naming of the trophies is fine actually. just a way to honor some of the ogs and keep their names in peoples minds.

the clutch award is so lame lmao really catering to the braindead discourse, sad

they shouldve added a second dpoy for perimeter players

otm, gonna be so much lame analytics vs true hooper discourse

they should decide it based totally on a dumb stat that gives it to a random lame guy on a bad team every year

it's funny making all this fuss about naming the trophies when the main award itself is still the KIA MVP AWARD

stanley cup, the heisman and the green jacket are the only good trophies.

this weekend we will again get to lol at how the world cup trophy is like the size of my forearm

and its not even a cup, get it together world

it really should be the most grand of trophies

itd be hard to beat the stanley cup but youve got to at least try

stanley > world

NBA announces new Got That Dog In Him Trophy

— Dana (@greatdane92) December 13, 2022

that would be a great award actually

the MTV NBA awards

The Mark Jackson "Momma, There Goes That Man" Award

winner: damian lillard

they got the pepsi logo firm for these

Got That Dog in Him should at least be an annual ILH poll

that feels like more of a game-level thing than a season-level thing to me

zion just did a big dunk on walker kessler

the darryl dawkins best dunk guy award

There should be a Craig Hodges award for part timers who are good at uncontested three pointers.

wtf are they doing

hmm lol

the broadcast crew for celtics lakers are all wearing jerseys backwards over their shirts but under their jackets

walker kessler seems to be having a nice rookie season. he’s also gotta be number 1 on the list of young players who will routinely end up on the wrong side of poster dunks for the rest of his career

xp it's jersey day, which means you wear a jersey in an unnatural manner

makes sense

smart and russ exchanging badly missed threes here good stuff

lol brogdon doing the purposely slightly too late half court heave and hitting it

it would be so easy to make a heave rule to protect guys stats, we should just get that done

yeah also they just shouldnt care no one gets enough heaves to make a difference

brogdon is 2nd in the league in 3pt% he couldnt spare a tiny lil bit

lol announcers have to play dumb about ad having the pain tolerance of a toddler

i swear to god there is no player i have seen wincing in pain more than ad

it literally happens every game

Blake Griffin??? is on my TV?? in a basketball jersey??

unfortunately lol

also in fairness to toddlers my kid banged her head in the tub tonight, we got a full blown ad reaction, but she bounced back quickly because she likes to brush her teeth

ad just needs to find an activity he likes
