One of the things worth looking forward to following the concussion of the playoffs is the NBA Awards<\/a>. Players and coaches who put in the hustle during the long season are appreciated for their efforts.<\/p>\n

However, the various rules and regulations in place with regards to voting among other things for the NBA Awards were blown out of the water with the NBA suspension in March. Not only do we have only 22 teams completing the regular season, no franchise will be playing their full quota of 82 games either.<\/p>\n

Thus, the NBA needed to introduce new criteria for the NBA Awards, and the first few details of the same were shared by Shams Charania of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Six core honors are up for grabs during the NBA Awards with the association announcing the finalists a few weeks before the ceremony.<\/p>\n

 <\/em><\/strong>Top 5 contenders for the 2019-20 NBA Most Improved Player award<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While there’s no update on when and how the NBA Awards ceremony will take place, the decision to consider cases based on performances till March 11 is a welcomed one. This allows the NBA to judge all the 30 teams with their respective players and coaches on an equal footing.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Also, it’s hard to standardize the impact that the NBA suspension will have on the players once the season resumes. While someone could take things up a notch another award contender could possibly lose rhythm.<\/p>\n

How the voting mechanism will work for the NBA Awards this time around is anyone’s guess at the moment. As mentioned by Shams Charania above though, the association plans on announcing the due process soon.<\/p>\n

While awards are based on voting and opinions of analysts and experts, stats are absolute. Hence the NBA has decided that for season leaders though, numbers from the eight seeding games will also be included.<\/p>\n

Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James are in the running for the MVP award<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the top three finalists for each award will be declared later, we have a bit of an idea as to will be the likely contenders for some of these honors.<\/p>\n

The MVP race is likely to be between Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> who’s continued his dominance and LeBron James<\/a> who’s led the LA Lakers to prominence once again.<\/p>\n

Toronto Raptors’ Nick Nurse will be looking to get his hands on the Coach of the Year honors but LA Lakers’ Frank Vogel and Milwaukee’s Mike Budenholzer are likely to have a look in as well.<\/p>\n

5 reasons why Giannis Antetokounmpo will win the 2019-20 NBA MVP<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
