As the NBA season comes to a close, the focus is shifting to awards season. The NBA recently announced the finalists for the Teammate of the Year Award and the Sportsmanship Award. These awards are voted on by current players, with teams submitting their nominees and a panel narrowing down the group to the finalists.
The Sportsmanship Award finalists were also announced, with players like Tyrese Maxey, Jarrett Allen, Kevin Love, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Harrison Barnes, and Tre Jones making the list. This award recognizes the player who best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court.
Current NBA players will have the final say in determining the winners of these prestigious awards. In addition to these two awards, there are several other accolades that will be handed out at this year’s NBA Awards show. These include MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year and more.
