Remember, this awards are voted on by the same people that are being fired by the hundreds because of their ty takes, narrative creators and pushers. Basically sports marketing disguised as sports news. They saw it coming, which is why they worked so hard to create interesting stories from first round exit ball hogs like Westbrook.
When a news organization becomes part of the en y it's reporting on, you know there's no longer any integrity in the awards or news. Fans know who the real winners are.
