Jaden Ivey snubbed.
Are you proclaiming that?
All that shit won’t matter on judgement day.
Pistons won’t matter on judgement day sadly
Amen
You’re thinking of Ausar
Ah
I like hamburgers and apple pies
Use his full name. There are 2 players on the Pels that could be referred to as Jordan: Jordan Poole and DeAndre Jordan.
Edit: Actually it’s 3 Jordans, I completely forgot about Jordan Hawkins lmao
Michael Jordan
Funny you say that because I actually thought it was about Jordan Hawkins
yeah and I was happy for him too
Omg I completely forgot about Jordan Hawkins, that makes it even worse lmao
It’s practically always last name use in articles
Updated. I copy pasted the title from espn before grabbing the nba dot com link and didn’t notice the ambiguity.
It’s okay man, everyone knows who Jordan is.
Yeah i don’t think people were thinking it was Jordan Poole
They once had a player named Jordan Crawford too
There is like 400 NBA players id guess before Jordan Poole
Congrats to Deandre Jordan Poole!
literally my first thought too
Thought it was Pelican’s Michael Jordan.
Best NBA player ever with the surname of Jordan
I’m happy for him, but he’s not touching the dynasty run Jrue had on this award from 2019-2023
lol my guess for this award was Jrue, Conley or DeAndre
Jrue almost won it this year haha
DeAndre had 1,445 & Jrue had 1,437 total points
Actually really damn close
Neck and neck nice guy award
I love this guy so much
We gonna get him back! 🙏🏾 one of my fave stories about him is how he stepped in to try to teach Julian Strawther how to drive after he got his learner’s permit, and Jamal+Jokic were tired of teaching him lol. Julian would driving round these denver streets rn if we still had DJ teaching him all last summer and this past fall 😭
Not KD!?
The entire Rockets team wins teammate of the year for surviving a season of KD
Jrue has voter fatigue, should’ve been him
I love these kinda obscure qualitative awards. Congrats to Deandre!
HOF Locker Room guy
The last few paragraphs of the article were at least interesting:
“The Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award is named for Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes, whose storied friendship transcended their Hall of Fame accomplishments.
Twyman and Stokes were teammates on the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals for three seasons from 1955-58. In the final game of the 1957-58 regular season, Stokes sustained an injury that led to his falling into a coma days later and becoming permanently paralyzed. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury that damaged his motor control center. Twyman became his legal guardian and lifelong advocate.
Twyman helped organize the NBA’s Maurice Stokes Memorial Basketball Game, which raised funds for Stokes’ medical care and, after his death in 1970 at age 36, for other players in need. After years of lobbying by Twyman, Stokes was enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004. Twyman, inducted in 1983, died in 2012.”
The best Jordan
Obviously should have been fox him not being in top 5 is absurd
Like not saying dj isn’t a good vibes guy but man played 12 games 😭 fox is directly contributing to young players growth and helping lead a 60win team like this was a layup for voters
Well deserved. I am a sicko with Pels season tickets, it was very obvious to anybody who watched this team that DJ had a huge impact on the rookies, especially Queen (who he’s said to be working out with all summer). Pels REALLY need to keep him, he reminds me of Udonis Haslem as an end-of-bench guy who occasionally has to get some minutes but serves more as a culture setter and player-coach. With how fucked the front office is for this team, need guys like him to try to right the ship and keep those rooks developing. Lots of love for DJ.
Deserved
DJ is a good dude.
Texas A&M legend DeAndre Jordan. Super happy for the guy
That’s My DJ!
Draymond snubbed again
Jordanovic
What kind of joke is this
How is the teammate of the year announced after ROY and DPOY? This would be the first award presented if the NBA still had that dumb awards ahow
