Last year, the National Basketball Players Association awards made headlines when James Harden won the players’ vote as League MVP, but this time around everyone’s in agreement that Stephen Curry deserves the honor.
The NBPA announced Thursday the winners of various awards for the 2015-16 season, though sadly, there was no gaudy TV show this year.
Kawhi Leonard is considered the best defender; Gregg Popovich is the most beloved coach; and Karl-Anthony Towns was the top rookie.
