Brainstorm session: BF team awards

by Mike Prada on Apr 16, 2010 9:31 AM EDT in Site News

So because it's the end of the season, we at BF should hand out some hardware to commemorate the good, bad and wacky of the 2009/10 season. There are some awards that are pretty obvious, stuff like MVP, LVP, Most Improved, Game of the Year, etc, but there are others that are less obvious that are worth remembering. Awards that mostly celebrate the wacky, rather than the good or the bad.

With that in mind, I wanted to use this thread to collectively brainstorm two things. One are the awards themselves that we should be handing out. What type of silly things should we commemorate? What type of serious things should we commemorate? Etc. Second, we need some silly names for these awards, like the "Oleksiy Pecherov I Get Buckets, Son Award For Biggest Black Hole," and since most of you are more creative than me, I wanted to open this up to everyone.

We'll run the awards next week, putting a different poll up every day allowing you all to vote, but in the meantime, let's use this thread for some brainstorming.

To get things rolling

The “Hot Babe That You Think You Have A Chance To Date, But You Definitely Don’t Award”: Shaun Livingston.

I'm too cynical to come up with names for real awards;

how about awards that I’d like to see, but will never happen. The “Lowest BB I.Q. in the NBA” Award: pick your favorite (this award isn’t as offensive as it could be because I put “BB” in there). Or, the “Pound the Ball into the Floor Until it Explodes” Award: Randy Foye. Or the, “Mom, Why Doesn’t He Shoot It, Ever?” Award: Mike MIller.

I Like Myself (I'm Worth A Lot) Award...

goes to Mike James, who’s still waiting for a call from an NBA team so he can contribute in the Playoffs.

How about

The “Welcome to DC, have we mentioned we’re cursed?” award, which goes to Josh Howard.

I used to think that the old Capital Center must have been built on an Indian burial site

but now that the Washington Capitals are doing great, it seems the curse must not have been due to an overall Indian curse or poltergeists. There must be something specific to the Bullets…was there some sort of Faustian bargain to give us the championship in the 70s, but never again??
