With the 2017-2018 NBA season finally a wrap, it’s time to reward those who stood above the rest as the league’s best players. On Monday night, the NBA held their annual NBA award shows in Santa Monica, California where they reveal this year’s MVP, Rookie Of the Year, Defensive Player Of The Year, Coach of the Year, and more accolades.
Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the event will see a live performance from Travis Scott, while the hilarious Inside the NBA crew has been making cameo appearances throughout the show as well.
The big award of the night is the MVP (Most Valuable Player), which finds the front runner James Harden going up against Lebron James & Anthony Davis. Meanwhile, Rookie of the Year will be battled out between Donovan Mitchell, & Ben Simmons, the latter of which is bending the rules a bit being a sophomore, but not playing his first year.
