Guess what, y'all? As if you didn't already get enough for your money (you guys are all paying your monthly RealGM subscription fees, right? Because the accounting team is counting on that $), we're officially announcing the nomination phase of

THE 2021 REALGM GENERAL BOARD AWARDS

The awards will be presented during the upcoming offseason, and will be given for the following exciting categories:

Thread of the Year
Post of the Year
Ballboy of the Year
Most Improved Poster
Most Valuable Poster

We're still working out the details of the rewards, but we'll have an official trophy graphic for winners to wear if they like, as well as a special title for all to see.

What we'd like from y'all is to post your nominations for these categories here, in this thread. Make clear which award(s) you're nominating for, and post links to threads and posts as appropriate.

nice - this should be fun.

Can I nominate lebron stopper for +1er of the year?

Some of my nominations:

MIP: Harry Garris, Young Stapler

MVP: Too many names but for now I nominate the entire group of Utah Jazz posters

Thread of the year: Steph Curry got exposed by the one and only Pharmcat

Post of the year: Big Bob story by Mr Puddles

thread of the year is for sure Steph got exposed

Not sure if GB Mods are ineligible but if not I nominate jamaalstar21 for MVP.

You forgot the "defensive poster or the year" title?

I’m dry cleaning my birthday suit for this one

Also the correct answer to MVP is og15

Can we nominate additional (fun) categories?

Best new fan (but not new poster): OKCfansinceSGA

The awards are not intended to mock, criticize or attack posters?

Sorry if this might fall under "mocking" but this is one of the most memorable threads of the year.

So are we gonna start acknowledging Suns screw up big time?

Lol I remember this. It was definitely a new one.

Tbh I'm just gonna vote for myself in each category because no one else will.

Please leave the "PistolPeteJR" thread in the GB open for more than 5 minutes so that it becomes eligible and I can vote for it.

MVP has to go to Pharmcat for how hard he's worked this year creating more threads on his own than the rest of RealGM combined

That's a good award idea. We'll put it on an idea consideration list.

If a whole bunch of people seem to be behind a GB mod, I think we might have to allow it. Let the people speak, right?

What do you think the parameters for such an award should be?

I've rarely been so happy that an event wasn't being televised.

No, but as it's stated in the GB forum rules, open mockery of Dupp is encouraged. And Sofia.

And that idiot Sammy.

This is an excellent strategy.

I accept your decision

MVP: bisme37 and BenoUdrihFTL
big shoutout for being level-headed poster representatives for fan bases that are always at war on these boards.

MIP: OKCfanSinceSGA
Ever since joined the Thunder rebuild and abandoned the Clippers anxiety, seems truly like himself.

Ballboy of the year is tough. Pretty rare that someone establishes themselves quick on this site eh?

Will go through some old threads and add some nominations for those awards.

Pharmcat raw numbers are there but impact metrics and On/Off are pretty bad
