NBA regular season ends

What a monster night that ends the NBA regular season. Kobe’s final game. The Warriors chase for history. Playoff positioning still in the balance.

We will preview the playoffs Thursday, and cover Kobe in the mailbag, but today, let’s review what has been an amazingly unique NBA regular season.

MVP – Steph Curry, Golden State (and the only question is will it be unanimous, which is an amazing testament to Curry’s amazing season since Russell Westbrook may log more triple doubles in one season than any player in the last 40 years and Curry still should be the unanimous pick).

Most Improved Player – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee. Good luck pronouncing that, by the way. Another crazy fact that screams the greatness of Curry this year: Dude will finish top three in most improved voting after winning the MVP last year, too.
