As I’m sure many of our readers do, I spend considerable time rolling around quality NBA sites. One of the earliest and still one of the best is Hoops Hype, and I was intrigued to see the winners of their 2016 awards.
Would it surprise you to know that no member of the Toronto Raptors, a team with a 56-26 regular season record (fourth-best in the NBA) “won” a single trophy? The only members of the organization who even got a mention were our brains trust. Masai Ujiri finished third in the Executive of the Year voting while Dwane Casey was named the fifth-best Coach.
