OT: 2017 NBPA (Player's Voice) Awards

Oracle is a nice second fiddle to the ACC. Their fans aren't as loud inside the arena, much less outside.

You must have not gone to many games this past season . All them suit wearing hipsters ruined the arenas atmosphere.

You're not wrong. During the games I went to this past season it was almost faux pas to show any type of emotion. But my original response was more in regards to the playoffs.

Say what you will about Kawhi not deserving the MVP, but the dudes team (filled with prehistoric veterans, role players, and the re-animated corpse of Lamarcus Aldrige) was up 20 points on a juggernaut GSW team before his injury. That's the only time they looked vulnerable all playoffs. I just don't know how you can argue someone's more valuable than that.

I think it's VERY telling that the players chose Kawhi as their DPOY and not the guy who actually won.

Players would usually pick the best one-on-one stopper, not the best system defender. The same thing probably happens in football. The players would pick guys that have a qualitative impact (tackles, sacks, INTs, knockdowns, etc.). But the guys that the offensive coordinators try to avoid in their schemes wouldn't get as much love.

Yup. It's why Avery Bradley gets so overrated.

Oracle has the best arena in basketball. Not sure ACC is 2nd either.
