Apr 13, 2026

We asked. You answered.

With the 2025-26 NBA regular season behind us, it's time to reveal every team's MVP, best contract, worst contract, player you'd take with you into the zombie apocalypse...and so much more.

You, the B/R community, decided these awards. These are your winners.

We're here to share the results.

Atlanta Hawks

1 of 30
Atlanta Hawks v Brooklyn Nets

MVP: Jalen Johnson

Most Underrated: Dyson Daniels

Best Athlete: Jalen Johnson

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Best Contract: Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Worst Contract: Corey Kispert

Best Trash-Talker: Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Burner Suspect: CJ McCollum

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Dyson Daniels

Overseas in 2 Years: RayJ Dennis

This was a clear-as-day, no-contest situation. Jalen Johnson was powering the Hawks long before Trae Young was sent to the Washington Wizards. He is their undeniable primary lifeline now. He is MVP.

Johnson also eked out a victory for Best Athlete with 50 percent of the vote. He'd have a more decided hold on the results if the Hawks never traded for Jonathan Kumingaโ€”but Johnson is the correct call.

Of course, we needed to know who you'd take into the Zombie Apocalypse. With a nickname like The Great Barrier Thief, Dyson Daniels was always going to feature prominently in this discussion. He defends with the vigor of someone who should decapitate zombies with karate chops and clotheslines. That's worth 47 percent of votes cast in my book.

Boston Celtics

2 of 30
Boston Celtics v Los Angeles Lakers

MVP: Jaylen Brown

Most Underrated: Neemias Queta

Best Athlete: Jaylen Brown

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Derrick White

Best Contract: Payton Pritchard

Worst Contract: Sam Hauser

Best Trash-Talker: Jaylen Brown

Burner Suspect: Jaylen Brown

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Joe Mazzulla

Overseas in 2 Years: Max Shulga

Jayson Tatum not even registering as a tangential option is a major bummer. But hey, at least he's back. His absence from this exercise is also easier to stomach when Jaylen Brown had the type of season that landed him 96 percent of the votes. The workload he shouldered this year was insane.

As far as Most Underrated goes, Neemias Queta could have technically graduated from this discussion. But with 68 percent of the vote, it's clear that he didn't. Considering he's the starting center for a top-five defense that people wanted to acquire another big man at the trade deadline, this sounds about right.

Brooklyn Nets

3 of 30
Cleveland Cavaliers v Brooklyn Nets

MVP: Michael Porter Jr.

Most Underrated: Noah Clowney

Best Athlete: Drake Powell

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Michael Porter Jr.

Best Contract: Day'Ron Sharpe

Worst Contract: Terance Mann

Best Trash-Talker: Tie: Terance Mann and Ziaire Williams

Burner Suspect: Michael Porter Jr.

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jordi Fernandez

Overseas in 2 Years: Ben Saraf

For the 10 percent of you who refused to vote Michael Porter Jr. for MVP, I have some questions. Is this a podcast-content thing? Because if so, fair. Do you think he damaged the tank too often in the early going? Because, fair again.

As far as runaways go, Terance Mann also ran away with a win. Sort of. Paying him $31 million over the next two seasons (almost 10 percent of the salary cap) isn't ideal relative to what he does on the floor. He won't become eminently movable until he's an expiring deal. Paint me surprised he "only" got 54 percent of nominations.

Charlotte Hornets

4 of 30
Charlotte Hornets v Boston Celtics

MVP: LaMelo Ball

Most Underrated: Moussa Diabatรฉ

Best Athlete: Brandon Miller

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Kon Knueppel

Best Contract: Moussa Diabatรฉ

Worst Contract: Tre Mann

Best Trash-Talker: LaMelo Ball

Burner Suspect: Grant Williams

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Sion James

Overseas in 2 Years: Tosan Evbuomwan

Salutations to the 72 percent of Hornets fans who get it. As for the other 28 percent of ya'll, it's time to have #TheTalk.

Twist yourself into a pretzel attempting to choose someone other than LaMelo Ball if you see fit. Roller-coaster moments and all, his impact on the offense speaks for itself.

Also, lights-out shooters who are also willing and versatile screensetters and capable of running the offense do actually grow on treesโ€ฆin planets far, far away. This is all to say: Kon Knueppel was the right answer with 65 percent of the All-Star vote.

Chicago Bulls

5 of 30
Chicago Bulls v Oklahoma City Thunder

MVP: Josh Giddey

Most Underrated: Tre Jones

Best Athlete: Matas Buzelis

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Matas Buzelis

Best Contract: Matas Buzelis

Worst Contract: Patrick Williams

Best Trash-Talker: Matas Buzelis

Burner Suspect: Artลซras Karniลกovas

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Guerschon Yabusele

Overseas in 2 Years: Yuki Kawamura

Giddey getting the MVP nod with 59 percent of the vote makes sense. His impact can be overstated when accounting for his defensive issues and scoring limitations. But nightly triple-double threats who, for all their faults and foibles, are shooting an above-average clip from three do not grow on trees.

Matas Buzelis had this on lock. And in case you weren't sure, he at one point turned in aย jam-of-the-season entryย on Jalen Suggs.

Cleveland Cavaliers

6 of 30
Los Angeles Lakers v Cleveland Cavaliers

MVP: Donovan Mitchell

Most Underrated: Jaylon Tyson

Best Athlete: Donovan Mitchell

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Jaylon Tyson

Best Contract: Jaylon Tyson

Worst Contract: Evan Mobley

Best Trash-Talker: Thomas Bryant

Burner Suspect: Dennis Schrรถder

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jarrett Allen

Overseas in 2 Years: Olivier Sarr

Donovan Mitchell won MVP, running away with 93 percent of the vote. He has effectively toggled between the offensive all-everything and the tip of a larger spear essentially since arriving in Cleveland.

On the other hand, Evan Mobley receiving 45 percent of the Worst Contract vote is understandable, somewhat predictable and potentially all kinds of problematic.

Dallas Mavericks

7 of 30
Dallas Mavericks v Los Angeles Clippers

MVP: Cooper Flagg

Most Underrated: Brandon Williams

Best Athlete: Cooper Flagg

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Cooper Flagg

Best Contract: Cooper Flagg

Worst Contract: Caleb Martin

Best Trash-Talker: PJ Washington

Burner Suspect: D'Angelo Russell

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Naji Marshall

Overseas in 2 Years: D'Angelo Russell

Flagg led Dallas in total points, rebounds and assists, though two othersโ€”Naji Marshall and Max Christieโ€”joined him in playing at least 2,000 minutes. In terms of importance to the team's operation, it was difficult to find anyone who topped Flagg for MVP.

For best athlete...yeah, also Flagg. He played all over the positional spectrum as a 6'9" teenager, which made him a runaway winner with 74 percent of the vote.

Denver Nuggets

8 of 30
Memphis Grizzlies v Denver Nuggets

MVP: Nikola Jokiฤ‡

Most Underrated: Tim Hardaway Jr.

Best Athlete: Aaron Gordon

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Peyton Watson

Best Contract: Nikola Jokiฤ‡

Worst Contract: Zeke Nnaji

Best Trash-Talker: Bruce Brown

Burner Suspect: Bruce Brown

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jonas Valanciunas

Overseas in 2 Years: Jonas Valanciunas

Jokiฤ‡ led the NBA in both rebounding and assists per game this season, which was a first. And he did that while averaging nearly 30.0 points per game.

Only four percent of you overthought this one by giving Nuggets MPV votes to Murray and Gordon over the Joker.

Otherwise, Jokic won it in a runaway.

As for the question you're all wondering about: the Zombie Apocalypse...

*Read about every Nuggets fan poll resultย here.

Just kidding.

I mean, do tap into that link for analysis around every Nuggets fan poll result. But also...brute strength won the day, as Jonas Valanciunas emerged with a victorious 39.0 percent of the vote. It's not hard to imagine him intimidating zombies with a particularly focused stare.

Detroit Pistons

9 of 30
Milwaukee Bucks v Detroit Pistons

MVP: Cade Cunningham

Most Underrated: Daniss Jenkins

Best Athlete: Ausar Thompson

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Ausar Thompson

Best Contract: Daniss Jenkins

Worst Contract: Caris LeVert

Best Trash-Talker: Isaiah Stewart

Burner Suspect: Tobias Harris

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Isaiah Stewart

Overseas in 2 Years: Bobi Klintman

Voting for anyone other than Cade Cunningham as Pistons MVP would've been akin to betrayal. We're looking at you, three percent of fans who picked Jalen Duren. And you, one percent of fans who selected Ausar Thompson.

When looking at Best Trash-Talker, we included the same one player as four of the five options. Three percent of you overthought it. Ninety-seven percent understood the assignment.

Golden State Warriors

10 of 30
Sacramento Kings v Golden State Warriors

MVP: Stephen Curry

Most Underrated: Gui Santos

Best Athlete: Gary Payton II

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Brandin Podziemski

Best Contract: Gui Santos

Worst Contract: Jimmy Butler

Best Trash-Talker: Draymond Green

Burner Suspect: Brandin Podziemski

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jimmy Butler

Overseas in 2 Years: Pat Spencer

No need to be dramatic here. Stephen Curry ran away with MVP, earning 95 percent of fan votes.

Let's talk about the most controversial topic on the board, one decided by just four percentage points: Worst Contract.

Curry wasn't a serious thought here, but Butler ($56.8 million next year) certainly was. He might appear in less than half of next season, likely in reduced form.

Then, Draymond Green's offensive slippage made his $25.9 million ($27.7 million player option for 2026-27) another good candidate.

Green came in at 40 percent of the fan vote here, while Jimmy collected 44 percent.

Houston Rockets

11 of 30
Houston Rockets v Phoenix Suns

MVP: Kevin Durant

Most Underrated: Reed Sheppard

Best Athlete: Amen Thompson

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Amen Thompson

Best Contract: Amen Thompson

Worst Contract: Dorian Finney-Smith

Best Trash-Talker: Kevin Durant

Burner Suspect: Kevin Durant

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Steven Adams

Overseas in 2 Years: Jae'Sean Tate

Sengun finished first among Rockets in rebounds, assists and blocks while trailing only Durant in total points. Amen Thompson ran away with the minutes lead, and he was easily the team's top defensive weapon.

That said, Durant's scoring was singularly important in Houston. Whatever late-game offense this team had, most of it stemmed directly from KD and his second-to-none shotmaking.

As far as Most Likely To Have a Burner Account, we gave you five options:

  • Kevin Durant
  • Durant, Kevin
  • KD
  • Slim Reaper
  • Other

Two percent of you chose "Other." Explain yourselves in the comments.

Indiana Pacers

12 of 30
Indiana Pacers v Orlando Magic

MVP: Pascal Siakam

Most Underrated: Aaron Nesmith

Best Athlete: Obi Toppin

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Ivica Zubac

Best Contract: Aaron Nesmith

Worst Contract: Obi Toppin

Best Trash-Talker: Tyrese Haliburton

Burner Suspect: Tyrese Haliburton

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Ivica Zubac

Overseas in 2 Years: Jalen Slawson

Pascal Siakam is the only answer for Pacers MVP.

His 90 percent claim to first place proves as much. He continued to put up numbers that warranted fringe All-NBA consideration despite having a less-talented and less-available cast of running mates around him.

At 29, Ivica Zubac takes home hardware for Future All-Star. His window to sneak into the All-Star game won't be open for much longer. But luckily for him, he now plays in the Eastern Conference.

Also, luckily for him, a good share of Pacers fans apparently don't care about his age. He edged out Andrew Nembhard in first-place votes.

Los Angeles Clippers

13 of 30
San Antonio Spurs v Los Angeles Clippers

MVP: Kawhi Leonard

Most Underrated: Kris Dunn

Best Athlete: Derrick Jones Jr.

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Bennedict Mathurin

Best Contract: Kris Dunn

Worst Contract: Bogdan Bogdanovic

Best Trash-Talker: Kris Dunn

Burner Suspect: Bradley Beal

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Kawhi Leonard

Overseas in 2 Years: Bogdan Bogdanovic

This might have been a conversation if James Harden or Ivica Zubac had hung around, but Kawhi Leonard was the no-brainer pick for MVP.

He stayed healthy (by his standards) and set a career high in points per gameโ€”no small feat for a player with five top-10 MVP finishes.

Kawhi was also the easy pick for the Zombie Apocalypse. He'd be unflappable in the direst circumstancesโ€”though his unwillingness to shout "hey, look out!" when a horde of the undead came shambling up the road might be a problem.ย

Los Angeles Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers v Los Angeles Lakers

MVP: Luka Doncic

Most Underrated: Marcus Smart

Best Athlete: LeBron James

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Austin Reaves

Best Contract: Austin Reaves

Worst Contract: Jarred Vanderbilt

Best Trash-Talker: Luka Doncic

Burner Suspect: LeBron James

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Marcus Smart

Overseas in 2 Years: Maxi Kleber

Luka Donฤiฤ‡'s league-wide MVP eligibility will depend on an Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge, but games limits and appellate processes don't matter here. No one else on the Lakers put up a fight against his 92.0 percent share of the vote.

One category Luka couldn't compete was the Zombie Apocalypse. Just eight percent of the vote? Maybe his need to create contact ruled him out. You want to avoid touching the undead if at all possible.

Memphis Grizzlies

15 of 30
Toronto Raptors v Memphis Grizzlies

MVP: Cedric Coward

Most Underrated: GG Jackson

Best Athlete: Ja Morant

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Cedric Coward

Best Contract: Cam Spencer / Ty Jerome

Worst Contract: Ja Morant

Best Trash-Talker: Ja Morant

Burner Suspect: Ja Morant

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Zach Edey

Overseas in 2 Years: Rayan Rupert

Jaylen Wells used to be a fifth option, but he led the Grizzlies in total points this year. Cam Spencer, runaway assists and made threes leader, couldn't catch Wells for the team lead in minutes played.

So, yes, it's been a weird yearโ€”weird enough, in fact, that rookie Cedric Coward jumped past Wells and the rest of Memphis' more established options to snag MVP honors.ย

Miami Heat

16 of 30
Philadelphia 76ers v Miami Heat

MVP: Bam Adebayo

Most Underrated: Pelle Larsson

Best Athlete: Bam Adebayo

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Kel'el Ware

Best Contract: Pelle Larsson

Worst Contract: Nikola Joviฤ‡

Best Trash-Talker: Tyler Herro

Burner Suspect: Tyler Herro

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Erik Spoelstra

Overseas in 2 Years: Terry Rozier

Bam Adebayo might have faced competition for MVP if Tyler Herro was healthier this year. Emphasis onย might.

Future All-Star, though, was never in question. Kel'el Ware ended up being the no-brainer selection. His offensive dynamism, range and athleticism is atypical for someone his size. He seems destined for a 20-point, 10-rebound, two-block season at some point.

Milwaukee Bucks

17 of 30
Indiana Pacers v Milwaukee Bucks

MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Most Underrated: Ryan Rollins

Best Athlete: Giannis Antetokounmpo

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Ryan Rollins

Best Contract: Ryan Rollins

Worst Contract: Myles Turner

Best Trash-Talker: Bobby Portis Jr.

Burner Suspect: Kyle Kuzma

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Bobby Portis Jr.

Overseas in 2 Years: Alex Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo's 60 percent share is enough to win MVP, but the second-place Ryan Rollins is much closer than I'd have ever anticipated (30 percent).

Rollins did end up running away with 77 percent of the vote for Future All-Star.

He also took home 79 percent of the vote for Best Contract.

In total, Giannis and Rollins took home 50 percent of your Fan Awards this season.

Best Contract: Jaden McDaniels

Worst Contract: Rudy Gobert

Best Trash-Talker: Anthony Edwards

Burner Suspect: Anthony Edwards

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Mike Conley

Overseas in 2 Years: Kyle Anderson

Anthony Edwards extended his run of year-over-year improvement to a fifth straight season, setting new personal bests in scoring, three-point percentage and free-throw attempt frequency. A member of the All-NBA Second Team a year ago, he's been even better in 2025-26.

The other voting options were just here for decoration.

New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans v New York Knicks

MVP: Trey Murphy III

Most Underrated: Saddiq Bey

Best Athlete: Zion Williamson

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Trey Murphy III

Best Contract: Saddiq Bey

Worst Contract: Jordan Poole

Best Trash-Talker: Dejounte Murray

Burner Suspect: Jordan Poole

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: DeAndre Jordan

Overseas in 2 Years: Jordan Hawkins

Trey Murphy III finished with roughly 500 more total minutes than Zion Williamson while also posting a slightly higher scoring average. That was enough to give him the MVP edge over the former No. 1 overall pick, who stayed impressively healthy by his standards and led the Pels in Box Plus/Minus.

Williamson did still take home Most Athletic. He isn't what he used to be, but when you start from an athletic baseline as high as his, you can lose a step or two and still grade out as pretty close to elite.

New York Knicks

San Antonio Spurs v New York Knicks

MVP: Jalen Brunson

Most Underrated: Landry Shamet

Best Athlete: OG Anunoby

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: OG Anunoby

Best Contract: Jalen Brunson

Worst Contract: Karl-Anthony Towns

Best Trash-Talker: Josh Hart

Burner Suspect: Josh Hart

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: OG Anunoby

Overseas in 2 Years: Pacome Dadiet

Jalen Brunson's reign as MVP went unchallenged. The Knicks do not have another shot-creator or shot-maker anywhere near his caliber. They often find ways to carve out offense when he catches a breather, but you start to feel the gap between him and everyone else in crunch time, during the playoffs and when facing highly aggressive defenses.

Knicks' Future All-Star went relatively unchallenged, with OG snagging 78 percent of the vote.

But then, looking at a tight race, Jose Alverado and Josh Hart were mere votes apat as Best Trash-Talker. One of them finished with 49 percent of the vote; the other had 45 percent.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Best Contract: Ajay Mitchell

Worst Contract: Lu Dort

Best Trash-Talker: Jaylin Williams

Burner Suspect: Chet Holmgren

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Lu Dort

Overseas in 2 Years: Brooks Barnhizer

If you're the odds-on favorite for league MVP, you're basically a shoo-in on your own team. That's where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander landed with OKC, even if he was surrounded by so many quality supporting players that it sometimes felt unfair.

Meanwhile, Future All-Star also had a runaway winner. Ajay Mitchell is taking home the hardware, getting 54 percent of the vote.

Orlando Magic

Orlando Magic v Toronto Raptors

MVP: Desmond Bane

Most Underrated: Anthony Black

Best Athlete: Anthony Black

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: Franz Wagner

Best Contract: Anthony Black

Worst Contract: Jalen Suggs

Best Trash-Talker: Mo Wagner

Burner Suspect: Paolo Banchero

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Goga Bitadze

Overseas in 2 Years: Colin Castleton

Paolo Banchero is as polarizing as they come in circles outside Orlando. It turns out he's polarizing inside Magic circles as well.

Getting 44 percent of the vote was enough for second place. He finished behind Desmond Bane, who racked up 48 percent of first-place selections. This is somewhat surprising, albeit not totally off-base, development.

Desmond Bane's gravity has not cured Orlando's offensive warts, but he remains part of the solution. Later-season comfort bodes well for the future.ย

Philadelphia 76ers

Minnesota TImberwolves v Philadelphia 76ers

MVP: Tyrese Maxey

Most Underrated: Dominick Barlow

Best Athlete: VJ Edgecombe

1st-Time All-Star in Next 5 Years: VJ Edgecombe

Best Contract: VJ Edgecombe

Worst Contract: Paul George

Best Trash-Talker: Joel Embiid

Burner Suspect: Joel Embiid

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Tyrese Maxey

Overseas in 2 Years: Cameron Payne

Tyrese Maxey has a chokehold on the Sixers' MVP, with 89 percent of the vote. It's not an unexpected development, but it's certainly come sooner than the organization anticipatedโ€”and probably hoped.

Maxey also won the Zombie Apocalypse category. But this was genuinely the toughest category to analyze. Three players received more than 25 percent of the votes. So it seems y'all agree.

Best Contract: Collin Gillespie

Worst Contract: Bradley Beal

Best Trash-Talker: Dillon Brooks

Burner Suspect: Dillon Brooks

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jordan Goodwin

Overseas in 2 Years: Jamaree Bouyea

Collin Gillespie stabilized the backcourt with a breakout season, Dillon Brooks brought a winning mindset before he got hurt in his 50th game of the year and Royce O'Neale quietly had his most impactful season since he was a key piece of some great Utah Jazz teams.

That said, Devin Booker continued to be the Suns' most important scorer and facilitator. Phoenix's lone All-Star is also its MVP.

Nice to see fans appreciate Brooks' contributions, but this correctly belongs to Booker in a landslide.

Best Trash-Talker: Damian Lillard

Burner Suspect: Damian Lillard

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jrue Holiday

Overseas in 2 Years: Kris Murray

A handful of Blazers appeared in more games than Deni Avdija, but none of them had anything close to his level of impact on the team's offensive identity. And Deni was awarded MVP as a result, earning an astonishing percentage of the total vote.

Deni also ran away with Best Contract, snagging 88 percent of the vote, with the next-most-popular candidate getting just five percent.

Best Trash-Talker: Russell Westbrook

Burner Suspect: Russell Westbrook

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Russell Westbrook

Overseas in 2 Years: Patrick Baldwin Jr.

Though this was his age-36 season, DeMar DeRozan finished with nearly 500 more minutes played than the next closest King. That volume paired with his status as Sacramento's leading scorer to earn him MVP honors on a squad that lacked many other options.

Let's get to why you're really here, though. Probably. The Zombie Apocalypse. Russell Westbrook and Dylan Cardwell combined for 93 percent of the total fan vote.

This, like MVP, however, was never really in question.

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Keldon Johnson

Overseas in 2 Years: Bismack Biyombo

Victor Wembanyama played the best defense on the planet this season, and he's averaging 24.8 points on 62.4 percent true shooting. If he were only doing one of those things, he'd still probably be the Spurs' MVP. Because he did both, there's really no room for any other name on the ballot but his.

Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell were just here to fill out the other voting spots. Wemby had no real competition.

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Scottie Barnes

Overseas in 2 Years: Chucky Hepburn

Raptors' Best Trash-Talker was one of the tighter races we had across any category...acrossย anyย team.

Sandro Mamukelashvili led the way with 33 percent of the vote and was closely trailed by Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick, who each received 27 percent of first-place selections.

Mamuย has trolledย Giannis Antetokounmpo.ย And Victor Wembanyama. I can't tell whether he is brave or has a death wish. It's probably both.ย That makes him a viable winner.

Quickleyย used to be known for talking smackย to Dukies. Now, he's just a normal guy liable toย say and do somethingย midgame that draws the ire of Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

Keyonte George finished with about a dozen more games and 300 more minutes than Lauri Markkanen, but the latter topped all of his teammates inย Value Over Replacement Playerย and ran away with the mostย Estimated Wins.

It's remarkable that a team this bad has two 20-point scorers with true shooting percentages north of 60.0 percent.

Exactly two percentage points separated George and Markkanen for Jazz MVP this season.

Most Underrated: Justin Champagnie

Best Contract: Kyshawn George

Worst Contract: Anthony Davis

Best Trash-Talker: Trae Young

Burner Suspect: Anthony Davis

Zombie Apocalypse Ride-or-Die: Jamir Watkins

Overseas in 2 Years: D'Angelo Russell

Numbers (almost) never lie: 70 percent of you agree that Alex Sarr is the obvious choice for MVP.

You want a tight race, though? Let's turn to Best Contract.

Kyshawn George has established himself as no worse than the Wizards' second-best young player and will make $8.5 million total over the next two seasons. That averages out to 2.5 percent of the cap.

Nabbing "just" 41 percent of the vote would be stunningly low...if Justin Champagnie didn't exist.

Champagnie is under team control for another two years at under 2 percent of the salary cap. Paying that for a rotation-caliber three-and-D wing is a joke.

One of these players earned 41 percent of your vote. The other snagged 39 percent.
