Revelry in the Dark

For the first time ever, the NBA has decided to do an awards show to showcase the highlight performances of its athletes. 12 awards will be given out tonight, and the ones with finalists are as follows:

NBA Most Valuable Player:

Finalists are:

James Harden, G, Houston Rockets

Kawhi Leonard, F, San Antonio Spurs

Russell Westbrook, G, Oklahoma City Thunder

Rookie of the Year:

Dario Saric, F, Philadelphia 76ers

Malcolm Brogdon, G, Milwaukee Bucks

Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Sixth Man Award:

Eric Gordon, G, Houston Rockets

Andre Iguodala, F, Golden State Warriors

Lou Williams, G, Houston Rockets/Los Angeles Lakers

Coach of the Year

Mike D'Antoni, Houston Rockets

Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs

Erik Spoelstra, Miami Heat

Most Improved Player

Giannis Antetokounmpo, F, Milwaukee Bucks

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

Defensive Player of the Year

Kawhi Leonard, F, San Antonio Spurs

Draymond Green, F, Golden State Warriors

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz

Other awards tonight include Executive of the Year, Teammate of the Year, the Sportsmanship Award, and the Community Assist Award. The All-Defense teams and All-Rookie teams were released earlier today to drive interest into tonight's show. This is probably the most NFL thing the NBA could do, but it's a chance to see the best players recognized for their achievements, which is nice.

The show begins at 9 PM EST on TNT

I just now realized how hilarious it is to have NBA players walk around with women.

Like I understood the fact in the abstract but something about them walking out to a microphone that they're both supposed to speak into is funny.

When they do the Oscars the speeches usually have a few bumps, and those are professional speakers. This could get sorta interesting.

I bet Kawhi's DPOY and MVP speeches will be pretty short.
