NBA is adding WCF and ECF MVP Awards

[Da_Eggman]

This is something I been waiting for since never

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Winning a championship is the eastern and western conference MVP award

 

[The_Sheff]

MLB has league championship series mvp and it doesnt muddy anything.

Weird thing is they naming all these awards after folks and arguably the 1st and 2nd greatest players ever won’t be named for anything.

 

[get these nets]

I get it. Give the legends their flowers while they're still alive.

Still a stupid idea.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I know Bron like Damn!! I would have nine of them.

The scoring champions trophy should be named after Jordan

I'm conflicted.

Part of me thinks this is an extension of participation trophy culture. Like, let's find more ways to award and celebrate people. It feels unnecessary.

On the other hand, I suppose it's a way to honor past greats as well.

I don't know. I guess I'd say that this didn't feel necessary. I don't think this filled a void or solved a problem.
It's okay. I don't think anyone will use these awards as any measuring stick though. X-player is a 2 time scoring champion, 1 time Finals MVP....AND 3 TIME LARRY BIRD AWARD WINNER. Doubt that's going to come up in barbershop debates.

 

[Nero Christ]

Any other pro American sport have a conference final mvp trophy?

MLB

ALCS MVP & NLCS MVP

 

[Rayzah]

Should have a playoffs MVP instead.

This!

Or better yet include the playofffs in mvp voting.

This isn’t necessary and it’s not something I care about. We barely remember the finals MVP.

 

[Dipsey Doo]

I don’t have a problem with this. Winning the conference is a huge accomplishment team wise. Would be interesting to determine who would be the best player in a conference final. It wouldn’t mean as much as a Finals MVP obviously

Finals MVP is probably a greater award that regular season MVP just based on viewer habits alone

 

[Big Boss]

No

Baseball does

 

[KingJay]

So what's this just gonna be? Best player on the winning team in the Eastern Conference? Seems kinda pointless tbh.
There's room for new awards, but these don't do much for me

 

[Rayzah]

I know you were just answering his question but nobody cares about baseball. Also I had no idea baseball did this. I’ve heard of those other awards but never heard of this one.

 

[bubba scotch]

I'm actually cool with this. If you're running through your conference, you deserve some sort of acknowledgement.
