Welcome to NBA postseason, y’all.
In the weeks to come, my colleagues and I will keep you abreast of the playoff happenings with nightly breakdowns and analysis. To help focus on that coverage, we’ll be adjusting the weekly newsletter. As always, thank you so much for taking the time to subscribe to and read The Playmaker.
With us being in that strange week between the regular season and the playoffs, I figured it makes sense to share my season-long awards ballot, which I cast a few days ago. One quick note to start: To keep things a bit more uniform throughout, I didn’t include anyone on my ballot who played in fewer than 60 games. That nullified a number of massive names within the sport, but I also think it’s a pretty fair threshold.
