NBA Most Valuable Player: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder

 

NBA Defensive Player of the Year: Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors.

He can guard every player on the court, anchoring the champion Golden State Warriors’ defense.

 

NBA Coach of the Year: Mike D’Antoni, Houston Rockets

D’Antoni took the Rockets from a 41-win team to a 55-win team one in just a season, and it was incredible

 

Most Improved Player: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Antetokounmpo became the first player in league history to finish top-20 in all five major categories, which were points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.

 

NBA Sixth Man Award: Eric Gordon, Houston Rockets

Eric Gordon averaged 16.2 points during the 2016-2017 season, shooting 37 percent from the three-point line. He made 246 threes during the year, which was more than everyone except the star-studded list of James Harden, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.

 

NBA Rookie of the Year: Malcolm Brogdon, Milwaukee Bucks

Malcolm Brogdon was drafted 36th, the lowest ever to win Rookie of the Year. He averaged 10 points and four assists, helping the Bucks to a 42-40 record for the sixth place in the East.

 

NBA Executive of the Year: Bob Myers, Golden State Warriors

Myers signed Kevin Durant, a top-three player, to a team that already won 73 games the previous season. It was enough to seal the deal in his favor.

Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award: Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks

It was a close race, but Dirk Nowitzki was named Teammate of the Year. It’s also notable that three of the top four vote getters were members of the 2011 Mavericks championship team.
