After the second round of the NBA regular season playoffs starts every year, both players and fans are excited.

The reason is that at this time, it is the time for the NBA to judge the awards.

Every year the NBA will cause great controversy and twists and turns.

Of course, this time is no exception. After all, the quality of rookies appearing in the 1996 draft is usually comparable to that of Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon in 1984.

This is also the most controversial and ups and downs in the regular season selection this year.

So when the league has not announced the final results of this year's NBA regular season awards, all rookies are uneasy.

Especially Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, they were really hard to tell when they were killed in the regular season, making everyone not sure who would win the best rookie this year.

...

As expected, Stern looked at the excited media reporters below the audience, and was about to announce the result, and immediately laughed.

Stern really wants to laugh, yes, because the existence of Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant has made this year's NBA more attention than before.

Let me tell you this. In the past, among the four major leagues in the United States, the NBA can only send third place in terms of influence and attention, and there are many MLBs behind second place. But now there is only a slight gap with MLBs. This is what Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant bring. It can be said that no one in the United States knows the names of these two rookies, which are completely red and purple!

I have to say that all this is brought by Bruce. If Bruce had not selected Kobe Bryant in the draft and gave all the status in his rookie season, then if Kobe Bryant was like this in his previous life, he would have been chosen by the Lakers in the end, and what was waiting for Kobe Bryant would have to be on the bench for the first two seasons. Now what are you talking about? Dongkosie Ai!

Of course, Stern didn't know about this kind of thing, Kobe Bryant agreed, and no one else knew about it. None of them knew that the one who changed everything was actually a little kid who was reborn!

The location where the results of the NBA awards were announced this year were held in New York as usual.

The media reporters in the audience were all excited. Not only did they guess whether the best rookie of the year was Allen Iverson or Kobe Bryant?!

In addition, other awards are also quite eye-catching.

In particular, key awards such as the key regular season MVP of the Year and the best team in the regular season and the best team in the year.

These key awards are often announced by league president Stern.

The nature of the Oscars is the same, and the grand prizes are often left at the end.

So even if these media reporters want to know the answer earlier, it is useless. They can only sit here and wait honestly now.

...

After announcing several unimportant awards, Stern's first award was Rookie of the Year. There is no doubt that the top rookies in 1996 were Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, such as Marcus Camby, Sharif Abdul Rahim, Stephen Marbury, Ray Allen, Kry Kitels, Eric Danpier, Steve Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, Derek Fisher, Ben Wallace, Anthony Walker and other rookies were slightly worse.

Of course, some of the above-mentioned people can still be included in the Best Rookie Team.

(Don’t think some people were played later, but now because the butterfly of Bruce was incited too much, it gave the above-mentioned people a lot of opportunities to play games, so you all understand...)

"I announced that the NBA's best rookies in the 96-97 season are Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant!"

When Stern's loud voice came from the stage, the media reporters at the scene were shocked!

Yes, it was indeed shocking. They didn't expect Stern to win the NBA Rookie of the Year together with Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant.

You should know that the last time two rookies won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award together, we have to go back to Grant Hill and Jason Kidd who appeared in the 1994-95 season.

Of course, Grant Hill and Jason Kidd won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award at the same time, not the first pair of players in NBA history to win the award together.

Dave Coins and Jove Petrie won the grand prize together in the 70-71 season, so this pair is the first player in NBA history to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award together in their rookie season.

Grant Hill and Jason Kidd are also the second pair, and Aaron Iverson and Kobe Bryant are also the third pair, but it is just that shocking because of this!

You should know that the NBA has had this award for 45 years, and there have been three pairs of rookies who won such awards at the same time. This is indeed rare.

However, it can be seen that Stern announced the award with the least controversy.

The data of the above-mentioned other rookies this season are excellent, but compared with Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, it is not a little bit worse.

Because no matter who loses the election, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, is the biggest loss in the league, and they are excellent enough.

Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant both have a rookie statistic starting average of 25+ per game, which is indeed considered to be super god-like data in the past.

There is no way for you to find rookies who can average 25+ per game in the past few seasons. It’s not that you can’t find them, but that you can’t find them, but that you can’t find them.

The media reporters at the scene also nodded, expressing their agreement with the league's announcement of the Rookie of the Year, and the two of them deserved it.

They couldn't find a place to refute, so they could only wait for Stern to continue announcing other awards.

After Rookie of the Year, the following announced is the Rookie of the Year lineup.

The Rookie of the Year lineup must have the first and second lineups announced together, just like the best defensive lineup in the regular season, two lineups have been set up, except for the best lineup in the regular season, this guy has three lineups as the base.

"I announced the second team of the NBA's best rookie in the 96-97 season: Eric Danpier, Ben Wallace, Sharif Abdu Rahim, Kry Kittles, Stephen Marbury."

"I announced the first team of the NBA's best rookie in the 96-97 season: Marcus Camby, Antoine Walker, Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson."

After Stern announced the award, the biggest winner was the Seattle Supersonics, because they had two players, Allen Iverson and Ben Wallace, and the others were all alone and one team.
Chapter completed!
