Huge Suggestion for the NBA

My cousin watched A-Rod and Jimmy Rollins win the AL and NL MVP. So he called and asked me "How come there isnt an Eastern and Western Conference MVP, 6th Man, or Rookie of the Year awards in the NBA"? At first, I didnt pay it no attention. But after a couple of days, the question stayed in my head. So I figured I have some fun with it.

In Major League Baseball, the National and American League play with different sets of rules so I understand having two different award winners for both. Obviously, that is not the case in the NBA. Also, like ordering an adult beverage at a bar, the awards would become watered down if it is for only half of the 30 teams instead of the entire league.

So just for the hell of it, let’s see who the East and West award winners would have been for last year going by the official results.
