    Admirable from Zion but it's fcuking embarrassing that the 19 year old kid is doing that while the billionaire owner stays silent.

    most of these sports owners are so far removed from the everyday persons reality the thought of helping wouldn’t even cross their mind

    Always hard to know who is actually carrying jerseys here, not sure where you're located either. Quick Google gave the below. May be best to stick with the NBA Store/Fanatics.

    JD - Have a Zoom Jersey and team cap.
    Elverys - Only NO top is a Davis one by the looks of it. They have a lot of out of date stock.

    Buy from the EU store btw it you’ll be hit with customs and excise tax and duties if you buy from the US store and your total is more than $140.

    Also check the fanatics UK store, there can be bargains there at times.

    If the season is scrapped, does anyone know if they still intend to award MVP, DPOTY etc? It feels like enough of the season has been played to be able to give out the awards.

    Doesn't seem to have been something that has been brought up, they seem more interested in organising 2K and HORSE tournaments.

    I guess if you're scrapping the season, it's somewhat consistent to scrap the awards aswell but that would be a shame. Hopefully when the HORSE extravaganza is over, they might clarify.

    They aren't going to clarify individual awards over the season.

    No player will want an award for an incomplete season as it will always have an asterisk associated with it.

    You're likely right about whether they'll award it, but I think the players who would win in this scenario would get over it quickly enough. They've already played more games than in the 99 lockout and not far off the games played in the most recent one.

    Totally different scenarios in my opinion. With the lockouts they knew before the season started that they had X number of games that they were all playing, a season being called now and awarding individual trophies when you can't award a winning team will lead to them never being viewed the same.

    It's not totally different, it's somewhat different but arguably not different enough to scrap the whole thing in my opinion. The players were aware the 80% of the season played to date makes up the vast majority of the sample size for the awards. Take ROTY, Zion might have done something crazy over the remainder of the season that puts him in contention for the award but what about Ja Morant and what he's done over the season. No award ceremony seems more unfair to Ja than Zion.

    The rookie awards have to be given out
    You only get one chance at those.
    I don't see any issues with all the player awards being given out. We already had the all-star weekend.

    Gar Forman fired by the Bulls after 156 years in his job.
    Karnisovas throwing shade at him straight away

    That’s great and I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised it’s being shown here, was gearing up to watch on kodi.

    Just got through the first 2 parts. I'm sure nobody reading this forum needs any encouragement to watch it but I'll give it my recommendation anyway!

    Edit:Sorry for dragging thread off topic, just remembered this is the 19/20 thread.
