Devine Intervention is back with a new episode, and this time, Dan is joined by Ben Golliver from The Washington Post. The two discuss the NBA’s year-end awards and their voting anxieties.
In recent years, the NBA has implemented a 65-game threshold for players to be eligible for awards. Ben explains how this rule has been effective in ensuring that more stars are playing more games this season compared to last season.
Dan opens up about his own ballot anxieties while Ben shares his past voting process and why he no longer has a ballot. The conversation turns to the MVP race, with discussions on Joel Embiid’s comments on the race being boring and whether anyone can catch Nikola Jokic.
The Rookie of the Year race is settled, leading the discussion towards rising stars like Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. The rules for voting for All-Defense have changed, prompting speculation on potential all-big lineups and the criteria for Most Improved Player.
As the focus shifts to All-NBA voting, the duo debates whether team success should play a role in the number of players from a team making the cut. The podcast wraps up with The Closing Five segment, covering topics like moose and weekly recommendations.
