The NBA’s annual performance awards (MVP, Rookie of Year, Sixth Man, Defensive Player, Coach of Year, etc.) will be based upon regular season through March 11, when the season suspended, sources tell ⁦‪@TheAthleticNBA‬⁩⁦‪@Stadium‬⁩.

They can claim this but, unless they've already gathered the ballots, I suspect this is like instructing a jury to "disregard" evidence that just played out in front of them.

If that fails, I would like to start a second foundation dedicated to educating the world of the fact that Kyrie Irving is an idiot.

thank you Adam Silver and all the NBA players for playing and taking COVID seriously enough to get this far. Just give me three more weeks!
