Hakeem accepting his MVP award, thanking fans, players, coaches, Hakeem wanted all his teammates feel, be an MVP together. That is always a memorable moment.
NBA making this event a "TV cash grab" is lame. I mean, once the draft happens and with FA around the corner NO ONE is "looking back" at last season. At the WORST they should have this even BEFORE the draft. The NBA calendar has flipped. But yeah, the awards from LAST season is so stale at this point. Harden is going to be awarded the MVP on this show and I am not going to watch this ridiculous cringeworthy production.
Is Adam Silver going to suspend LeBron for not showing up at these Awards. Harden showed up last year, imagine Harden not showing up at all, Silver and Media would destroy Harden.
No. I don't think LeBron showed up last year when Westbrook got the award. That's fine. LeBron should enjoy his vacation and he can show up in Houston in July for the press conference. I am good.
I really hope this Award show has the worst ratings, hey you know Harden is hated in the U.S and China ain't getting up in the early morning for this lame show. I want a New Commissioner to get rid of these mafia, gambling referees. Might as well have Awards named after Referees Scott Foster, Tony Brothers, Ed Malloy, Ken Mauer. Referees Screwed Players Award.

Zhang is a 63yr old Spurs fan. lulz Loving the Spurs in China He voted for Lebron for MVP last year, too. His was the only #1 vote for Lebron, last year. He voted Lebron (2nd place) over Harden (3rd) last year, too.
TBH I was surprised to see the final totals the way the media was pushing the LeBron and AD narrative late in the regular season I figured it would sway a lot of voters much like how WB's game winning shot against Denver pretty much did 2 seasons ago.
We should create a new thread instead bro rather than keeping up here. I won't start it because I don't keep up with who is voting, but maybe someone that keeps up with it can start it and keep it up to date.
