2023 nba awards

yeah joker took his foot off the gas too

plus the whole arm scratch situation was just tough to deal with

I lost count of the # of times they had to stop play in the middle of a play for him to get medical attention for his bleeding arms because they didn’t call a foul

cant he just wear some sleeves idgi

has he tried lotion, it might help

i'm tellin you its bosnian blood ghosts

cant they do something about that hire a ghost hunter

if the refs would call fouls on him it might disincentivize players from doing it!

that's cool, good for him

congrats to malcolm of the celtics i thought quickley was gonna get this

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon has won the 2022-23 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 20, 2023

wow!

celtics are so stacked he hasnt even really needed to do much just playing in the flow doing normal stuff

none of the media people i pay attention to had him so this is a nice surprise. i agree, sometimes it seems like he’s not having the impact of a typical 6man where the game tilts to his style or something, but he had his most efficient offensive season per TS% and is just really good at basketball.

def one of those guys who you appreciate more when you watch all their games

Steady as they come

wonder if he's the only guy to win both rookie of the year and sixth man

guess he's the second...first guy was the equally perpetually underrated mike miller.

ben gordon won sixth man as a rookie, but finished second in ROY voting behind...emeka okafor

tough having so many qualified candidates from uconn

joel gets the big one

salute to him he is most valuable

cute

all except for one top 3 vote was spread across the top 3 guys

nice couple of semi-troll votes at the very bottom you gotta give it up for sportswriters

idk he got the first one but the rest are pretty rough, one of those guys isnt even alive

rip chris paul

heh

no comment on the MVP award from me!

Nice job, big fella.

Joel Embiid is the first Basketball Without Borders (BWB) alumni to win the Kia NBA Most Valuable Player Award. Embiid participated in BWB Africa 2011 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was coached by NBA players and personnel, including Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning. pic.twitter.com/A6nhGhddFG

One thing that gets lost with Embiid because of how good he’s been and his outsized personality is how he started playing so late compared to a lot of players. It is pretty admirable that he has really continued to work on his game even this offseason he worked on his passing and cutting down turnovers.

yeah its crazy he actually has a great feel for the game which tends to be harder the later you pick it up

yeah way more switch-ability on team 2

Made an honest mistake with my MVP votes. My apologies to the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. He’s not only a legitimate MVP candidate who deserved my vote, but he is truly one of the all time greats!
Again my apologies

— Mark Jackson (@MarkJackson13) May 11, 2023

lol ok fine

this is an excellent reason to fire mark jackson

it happens, so easy to forget the winner of the last two MVPs is eligible

wtf does "an honest mistake" even mean in this context

that response is hilarious

so if it was his all-nba ballot, was it just ranked in positional order? lol

looks like it
