    The awards, featuring such esoteric categories as "Hardest to guard" and "Player you secretly wish was on your team," was started this year to give players a voice with NBA awards, of which the officially sanctioned batch have been voted on by the media since 1981.

    C.I.A. Pop doing work.

    there are a ton of players in the league who probably want to stay as far away from Pop as possible.

    Probably but not likely, according to reality.

    Sure, the prima donnas, the 'me and my stats' guys and players who can't stand losing minutes wouldn't like to play for him. The players who want to be judged every day on their merit (virtually every bench rotation player) would like a shot at a le with a coach who will give them a chance.

    Those are the ones who say they are about winning and want to go to SA and then at the last minute go for a little more money to a team and never ring and flame out pretty quickly..... Happens a lot.

    That awards show was a joke. Just a circle jerk for Chris Paul and LeBron's little NBA inner circle.

    The first award was for best defender. Kawhi wasn't even nominated, DeAndre Jordan won, lol. At that point it became a joke and it only got worse.

    It's funny that Kawhi destroys all of those s so bad that they hate him that much. To not even nominate the DPoY and best defensive player in the game is such an obvious, intentional slight.

    Hopefully KL uses it as motivation. Killed any chance the award plus big contract plus already having a ring satisfied him..,(Not that Kawhi would do that, just saying it can't happen now).

    Kawhi not making top 4 is pretty Cray. Then again, those big guys are more likely to be remembered since they have more interaction. People prally remembering that one shot of theirs deandre sent into the stands. Kawhi on the other hand takes one person and makes them dissapear.

    It's interesting how much Pops presence is felt by the players around the league tho.

    This is the same thing as asking someone what they are going to eat tomorrow and they say "kale and baked fish". Then next day comes and they are sitting in a Wendy's with fries in a frosty. The majority of the NBA love their stats more than winning. I can't say it's a totally bad thing because inflated stats get folks paid, but these awards are a joke.

    "Money Money Money"

    I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
    Ain't it sad
    And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
    That's too bad
    In my dreams I have a plan
    If I got me a wealthy man
    I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball...

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
    Ain't it sad
    And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
    That's too bad
    So I must leave, I'll have to go
    To Las Vegas or Monaco
    And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same...

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    It's a rich man's world

    REPLACE THE WORD MONEY WITH "POPPIE"
