Y’all keep blaming Silver when this is the player’s fault for having that Player’s Award show on BET. He’s just giving them what they apparently wanted.

Even if he gave what the players wanted but still

and still dumb ass to doing this after the playoffs. They can have the award show before the playoffs but not after fukking the playoffs when nobody cares about the damn MVP. It's all about the finals, the NBA draft, free agency, etc. That's why a lot of people ain't even know about the NBA award show on that day or don't give a damn bland ass pointless award show.
Players receives the MVP at their homecourt>>>>>>>>get the MVP at the bland ass award show after the playoffs.
To hear your fans cheering on you, and it will fire you up to prepare your game in playoffs just more real and impact.
