#51 - Debating MVP, DPOY and other 2016-17 NBA awards

Is Russell Westbrook's historic season enough for him to defy precedent and win Most Valuable Player? Does Kawhi Leonard's claim as the league's best two-way player mean he should win the award? How much should preseason expectations factor in to the MVP debate? Who should be Defensive Player of the Year, Draymond Green or Rudy Gobert? Can Joel Embiid win Rookie of the Year despite playing only 31 games? Who deserves consideration for Sixth Man of the Year, Most Improved Player, Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year? Check out the episode to hear Morten Jensen (@msjnba), Sarah Cilea (@wildhorses65) and Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) discuss the top contenders for each of the major awards.
