Here are my awards for the 2015-16 NBA season.
MVP- Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors: Who else? Curry should be the first ever unanimous MVP in league history on a team that won a grand total of 73 games and Curry himself had a historically great season.
Runner up: Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs
Defensive Player of the Year- Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs: Leonard is the best two-way player in the league right now and he is great at guarding the oppositions best player. It also helps when he's on a 67-win team with a historically great defense.
Runner up: Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors
Sixth Man of the Year- Andre Igoudala, Golden State Warriors: Igoudala is arguably the X-factor to this historically great Warriors team. He provides great two-way play off the bench and is apart of the Warriors best lineup that they throw at teams late in close games.
Runner up: Jamal Crawford, Los Angeles Clippers
Most Improved Player- CJ McCollum, Portland Trail Blazers: McCollum made a massive leap forward this season on a team that lost four of their five starters from a season ago. He and teammate Damian Lillard have made a great backcourt tandem in Rip City.
Runner up: Kemba Walker, Charlotte Hornets
Rookie of the Year- Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves: Towns had a great rookie season and he is arguably a top 25 player in the league right now. He and teammate Andrew Wiggins has brought Minnesota hope for the future.
Runner up: Kristaps Porzingis, New York Knicks
Coach of the Year- Steve Clifford, Charlotte Hornets: The Hornets underachieved last season, but overachieved this season. He deserves a ton of credit for his teams success this season after the team had roster turnover over the summer.
Runner up: Terry Stotts, Portland Trail Blazers
Executive of the Year- RC Buford, San Antonio Spurs: Buford has been the best executive in the league for sometime now and added LaMarcus Aldridge and David West to a team that's always in contention. It does help that Gregg Popovich is his coach, but Buford deserves credit too.
Runner up: Bob Myers, Golden State Warriors
