Introducing The Brick Awards: celebrating the NBA’s worst, ugliest, and most embarrassing moments of the year. Drop your nominees.
We give out MVP and All-NBA every season. Nobody ever hands out the other trophies. Time to fix that. Let’s get started with the off season shit posts fr.
Here are the ten categories up for “honors” this year:
1. Biggest Choke of the Playoffs - the collapse that defined the postseason
2. Biggest Flop of the Year - best Oscar-worthy embellishment
3. Most Wide Open Miss of the Year - nobody within ten feet, still bricked it
4. Most Undeserved Technical - the ref overreaction that cost a moment
5. Worst Free Throw Choke - clutch trip to the line, total whiff
6. Biggest Underperformer vs Expectations (Player) - the individual who fell hardest short of the hype
7. Biggest Underperformer vs Expectations (Team) - the squad that flopped relative to where they were supposed to finish
8. Worst Player in the NBA - the one who just did not belong out there
9. Worst Contract of the Year - most overpaid for what he actually gave
10. Most Egregious Travel of the Year - lots of candidates here
How this works:
• Drop your nominees in the comments. Any category, free text, no format required.
• Nominations stay open until 11:59pm EST on June 22nd.
• After that, I’ll post a follow-up with the final 4 candidates in each category. A poll for everyone to vote.
• Final winners announced June 25th.
Make your case in the replies. The pettier the better. Bonus points if you can reference a specific play. Makes it easier for me to track down.
