The NBA regular season has concluded officially, with the play-in games finishing off last night. With the playoff bracket set, the attention of NBA fans turns to match-ups and analyzing the path to a championship. Hopefully, before people forget about what occurred during the regular season, they will remember all the great performances of the 82-game season.
Players generally face a lot of scrutiny during the playoffs, even if their regular season was historic. Therefore, the basketball writers at Back Sports Page thought we should once again publish our collective ballot to honor who we think should be rewarded. It is also the last chance to talk about the first 82 before the remaining teams go to battle and before the teams on the outside revamp their rosters.
Here are the results for our 2024 regular season awards ballot:
