To determine who wins the Sportsmanship Award, first of all, all 30 NBA franchises each name a single player. Then a panel of league executives selects a winner from each division. Which gives us 6 finalists and the final winner is voted on by the players.
Tyrese Maxey received his trophy from his parents in a barely scripted video. The young leader of the Sixers did not fail to have words for his parents, whom he holds responsible for his good state of mind on the NBA floor.
“Fair play is very important to me. I always give my all and I respect all my teammates and my opponents. At the end of the day, win or lose, you have to respect the guys you’re playing against. »
