The 2021-22 NBA regular season has finally come to a close. While most of the attention will turn to postseason play, there’s still some awards to be handed out. Just as there is going to be endless debate over Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid for first-team All-NBA (at least for those who choose not to put two centers on their first team), the Twitter battles over this year’s MVP race might never end.
This could very well end up as the closest vote ever. You can’t go wrong with tabbing Jokic, Embiid or Giannis Antetokounmpo as your MVP. I’m taking Jokic. As you’ll see below, so do most of my CBS colleagues.
In addition to MVP, we voted on Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year. Read ’em and weep (and go easy on our mentions).
