No, it's very anticlimactic. Maybe I'm old fashioned but i liked the previous way of announcing the winners better. Guess the nba figures they can squeeze more ratings out of a season this way. Or was it just mimicking the NFL?

They literally wait until no one cares about the NBA to announce that lol. It's like the one week the NBA doesn't matter. Right before the draft too.

They need to announces these awards at the end of the first round like they used to do.

people get their MVP's and no one is hyped anymore.. no one is eagerly awaiting the next series

I miss the old days of guys getting an award then having the pressure to go out and validate it in the playoffs.

Im not gonna be watching it. It's not as exciting to hear the winners of each award AFTER the season has ended. It was much better when they were announced early in the playoffs

There should be an awards ceremony for ISH, make it happen Jeff!

That would be cool, but honestly it's never going to happen

It's an unfathomably terrible idea. It already feels like the season's been over for a while, and all people care about now is free agency and the draft.

I literally haven't watched a single second of the last 2 awards ceremony, and I'll never watch any of them. They league is sadly mistaken if they think fans need to actually watch the award be announced live, instead of just finding out who won after it's over.

It was so much more exciting when they announced MVP during the playoffs, we could see if they could back up winning the award in the playoffs. Now, nobody gave a fck when Westbrook & Harden won it, and that will sadly be the state for every MVP until they change this terrible idea

Silver has honestly had many bad ideas (this, numerous rule changes, ads on jerseys, renaming the D-League after Gatorade, doing away with east vs west all star games but still making it so 12 have to be selected from each conference, and probably others I’ve forgotten) yet he doesn’t get called out for them nearly enough. IMO at least.

No. I don't like them waiting until June to give out the awards. I think it's meh. I prefer the old way of just announcing it throughout the playoffs.

Agree wholeheartedly.
