The Winners

MVP – LeBron James (CLE)

MIP – Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL)

Sixth Man – Eric Gordon (HOU)

COY – Mike D’Antoni (HOU)

EOY – Bob Myers (GSW)

DPOY – Rudy Gobert (UTA)

ROY – Malcolm Brogdon (MIL)

Well that may have been unexpected because LeBron James isn’t the frontrunner for MVP and despite the fact that everyone knows he may as well be the MVP every season, nobody wants to ignore the season that Westbrook and Harden have had. However, in all other categories, the winners are definitely plausible.

The Greek Freak has transformed into a dominant two-way force and plays a lot of point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks now.

Gordon has been healthy and hitting his shots, helping to turn the Houston Rockets into the high-octane offense that they are and Mike D’Antoni has been the architect of that offense. After going 41-41 last season, they finished with a 55-27 record this season.

Bob Myers obviously brought Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors and has the league’s most talented roster for at least the second straight season.

Gobert has been a defensive force to be reckoned with for the Utah Jazz.

Brogdon has been impressive for the Milwaukee Bucks, hitting big time shots and playing in starting role for a playoff team.
