Who would you vote for?

The winners will be determined by a group of media members who are living in the bubble. All eight seeding games will be included from games that began July 30th and run through to the last day on August 14th (today).

The awards, for MVP and the two All-NBA teams, will be announced prior to the first game of the play-in tournament between the two Western teams who finish eighth and ninth.
