These are my rough views on how last night's awards show went and some moments from it that I felt were noteworthy!
The NBA players awards in its inaugural event happened last night and for a first time, I think it went quite well. The presentation was done rather well apart from some weak jokes here and there. After all, what are award shows without some awkward moments here and there? Drake was surprisingly not as terrible as I expected but that might just be my bias. The TNT crew were on point as always airing each other's dirty laundry all for a good laugh. For the first Awards show, it was overall a very good showing and I hope in the years to come it will just get better.
I want to start off that I was actually very emotional at some moments during the show. First. it was I think Malcolm Brogdon's riveting speech about how being drafted in second round means nothing and that it's all about heart, then it came to the lifetime achievement award which deservedly went to the legend that is Bill Russell. He was way before my time but even I know what he has meant to basketball and even beyond. That moment when we had some of the best big men the NBA has ever seen all on stage to show their utmost respect for the myth that is Bill Russell. And then finally the Sager Stong award I think I speak for everyone who watched that it was an emotional moment that I shed a tear at.
The awards show went smoothly and I think most of the winners were well deserved. The presentation was good, the jokes were okay and the night was fun.
