The OKC Thunder season ended rather abruptly last week. And while many of you (and us, too) are struggling with the idea the team didn’t make the playoffs, life must go on.
This past week, the NBA has given out its regular annual awards – Sixth Man of the Year, Coach of the Year, etc. – with more likely to come in the following days. And while we could give those out to members of the Thunder, that would be boring and no one likes boring.
I mean, seriously…is there any doubt who the team’s MVP would be? Has anyone been healthy or consistent enough as the team’s best reserve? And how can anyone other than this guy be Rookie of the Year?
So, without further ado (or, in the words of Chris Webber, “much to do about nothing”), here are the Thunderous Intentions Not-Your-Usual-Annual-Awards (gotta work on that title, though…)
