Yet the league persists in giving out awards for the regular season, primarily so players can be embarrassed (Dirk Nowitzki's 2007 MVP) or so fans have something to argue about or discredit in between second-round contests. Because, let's face it, aside from coaching jobs no one really wants, and free agency scenarios now as well-worn as a toilet brush, the news cycle gets mighty barren around this time. Certainly, the league isn't interested ...

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bucks, Cavaliers, Celtics, Hawks, Heat, Jazz, Lakers, Magic, Raptors, Spurs, Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA All-Star Game, NBA Awards Mere hours ago, I asked how the public was supposed to make sense of conflicting NBA honors, and how this state of emergency was good for the league or its players.

by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Kings, Suns, Trail Blazers, Warriors, NBA Awards, NBA DraftTyreke Evans of Sacramento is most likely going to win Rookie of the Year, finding himself in rarified air by having one of the greatest rookie campaigns in NBA history. His consistent play from day one has been brilliant, his numbers drawing eerie comparison to LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson as the only rookies to ever average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.
