The Knicks’ Jalen Brunson has been announced as one of the six finalist for the NBA Sportsmanship Award, an award given annually to the player who most “...exemplifies the ideals of sportsmanship on the court with ethical behavior, fair play, and integrity.”
Joining runson are the Heat’s Bam Adebayo, the Kings’ Harrison Barnes, the Grizzlies’ Mike Conley (who has won the award a whopping three times), the Cavaliers’ Darius Garland, and the Rockets’ Boban Marjonovic. The league asks each team to nominate one of it’s players, and from these nominees, one player from each division is selected by a panel.
