Several weeks ago, we mentioned that NBPA would be announcing awards that would be given out to players, solely voted on by the players. But up until now, we didn’t know what those awards would be.
This is spearheaded by comments Kevin Durant made regarding the media having too much power. However, this will not impact the standard media-given awards.
Today the Player’s Association announced what those awards will be. Some are expected, but some aren’t. What exactly is the criteria for “Man of the Year”?
