Monday’s 2018 NBA Awards show was the final reflection on the 2017-2018 season before the attention shifts towards summer league and free agency.
For the Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie last night was bittersweet. While he lost out to Victor Oladipo for the Most Improved Players award — as expected, he was the only Net to be represented and a third place finish was, in itself, an accomplishment. As they say at the post-Oscars parties, it’s an honor to be nominated.
He received 50 votes. Indiana’s Victor Oladipo ran away with the awards (499 votes).
