Hello, my fellow NBA enthusiats. I was with some free time and decided to see how different the NBA awards would be with the 65-game rule applied in the past years. I started with 1980-81 because it was the first season where the Media voted for the awards.

I followed the data in Basketball Reference. All changes happened according to the players’ respective positions and their voting scores.

In advance I apologize for any error with the data or the spelling, this took about two hours to complete so I might have missed some things.

1980-81
Dan Roundfield would miss the All-Defensive 2nd Team with 63 games played.
Basketball Reference does not list the names or possible votes of players who were outside both All-Defensive Teams, so it is not possible to say which player would take his place.

1981-82
Dan Roundfield would miss the All-Defensive 1st Team with 61 games played.

• Larry Bird would replace him on the AD1st.

Basketball Reference does not list the names or possible votes of players who were outside both All-Defensive Teams, so it is not possible to say which player would take Larry Bird’s place.
