Thoughts? Do people still care? its been like 3 months since the season ended... And they're making a long show out of what used to be announced in the 1st round of the playoffs I think. What a money grab  lol


I'll probably watch but I think we all know westbrook wins mvp

The Players held an award show last year that did pretty well in the ratings, so I assume the NBA took notice and saw an opportunity.  I don't think it's a big deal one way or the other.

Seems like it could be better to go in between the regular season and the playoffs... could also use the show as a way to promote and hype the playoffs.

I think it will get decent ratings.

Since this is year one, the timing of it and the format are definitely going to be changed around to find where the best ratings are.

The timing seems like a way to hold hard-core NBA fans' interest while waiting for summer league to begin.  They already have the attention earlier.

The Players held an award show last year that did pretty well in the ratings, so I assume the NBA took notice and saw an opportunity.  I don't think it's a big deal one way or the other.

This was in 2015, and I was under the impression that it did so poorly is the reason there hasn't been another one since.

I'm not 100% sure how to read the ratings, but it looks like it did an 0.27 with approx 700k viewers.  By comparison the NBA drafts usually have like 3m+ viewers, and the sports talk shows before and after the draft do better ratings too I believe.  I don't think this was a success.

The NBA Awards show is definitely not my cup of tea, and I won't be watching.  We already know most of the results (MVP is believed to be Westbrook with 72% of the votes accounted for,and we know All-NBA, All-Defense, and All-Rookie teams).  And I don't care enough to find out who won ROY, DPOY, or 6MOY to tune in.  Definitely don't care who won "Assist of the Year" or "Best Style."

Maybe right after the season ended I would have been intrigued on who would win the awards, but I no longer care at this point.

Hope this bombs and the NBA goes back to regular old press releases.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I have no interest and probably won't watch any of it.  The timing of it is wrong.  With the Finals having finished, and the draft completed as well I'm very much on to the '17 - '18 season at this point  (bring on 12AM on July 1st!!!) and don't care AT ALL about who wins MVP, DPOY, etc. for a regular season that finished 2 1/2 months ago.

Yeah, not really digging this.

Brogdon seems like really good guy, though. Loved his speech.

Glad embiid didn't win. 30 games isn't impressive.

Embiid started more games than Brogdon did.  Embiid won 3 rookie of the months.  Brogdon didn't win a single rookie of the month even after Embiid went out injured.
