In this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, KOC and Tom Haberstroh dive into the news before revealing what their award ballots would look like if the NBA season ended today.
The guys take advantage of the Magic’s exciting win over the Lakers last night to highlight Franz Wagner, who has found his jump shot and once again looks like a top 20 player in the NBA. Anthony Davis, the favorite for the Most Valuable Player award, is already starting to look a little tired.
KOC talks about his visit to the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, where he witnessed many bathrooms and The Wall, which may or may not be filled with paid actors.
The Hornets beat the Pistons in overtime and appear poised for the future with young stars like LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Tom and Kevin also talk about the Timberwolves, who have fallen to 8-7 and seem to be in a bad mood with a difficult part of the schedule ahead.
Before diving into their month-long NBA award voting, the guys discuss the idea of the NBA changing its playoff seeding to a non-conference 1-16 system. Is it best for the league? Is it even possible?
Finally, find out who your picks would be for MVP, Rookie of the Month, Defensive Player of the Month, Most Improved Player, Coach of the Month, Sixth Man of the Month, and even on the All-NBA or All-Rookie teams if the season ended today.
