There’s an ancient proverb that says, “You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you play good. You play good, they pay good.”
It’s a proverb that rings its truth every day in the NBA.
Players around the League stepped up their game in the tunnel this season, so we added on a third team. It’s important to recognize progress, too, so we also mixed in a most-improved award to show love to the hooper who stepped up his tunnel walk the most in 2018-2019.
Anyways, we can skip to what you’re here for: This year’s LeagueFits All-Drip Teams and Awards.
THIRD TEAM: Dwayne Bacon, Ben Simmons, Dennis Schroder, Jordan Clarkson, Serge Ibaka
Three players made their All-Drip debuts in Dwayne Bacon, Ben Simmons and Dennis Schroder.
