Sorry Jazz fans – Ben is the NBA Rookie of the Year

There is also a feedback effect. The language you use changes how you think, just as when you force yourself to smile, you start feeling happier.

BUT TRIPLE DOUBLES YALL

I’m so over the triple double thing... like if a guy has 30, 8, 8 that’s awesome but two more rebounds or assists and it’s the best thing frickin ever.

Misery loves company?

No.

Btw, must be 50 question or draw ****** conclusions day today.

You are right you cant compare the two. Playoffs are much more important.

Yes more important but the playoff last only a few games, any player can have a few flukey performances in the playoff.

simmons had better stats in regular season so he is a better player even though Mitchell is playing better in post season.

lol what?

The playoffs only last around 10 games.
The regular season last 82 games which give better indication who is best rookie. You can't compare the 2.

Putt for money, drive for show!

I'm just trying to understand why *you* think our going all over the board to talk about language is a good idea.

It is weird that they wait to announce the winners of regular season awards. Announce them when people care about them at the end of the regular season. Once the playoffs start everyone's perception changes and they are less important. It really hurts the awards.

I agree, and I think it makes for interesting story lines, too, especially if the award-winners are in the playoffs. As it stands, they announce it long after it usually matters for any cool drama reasons. If they'd announce it in the lead-up to the playoffs you'd really get some fun stories to watch.

70 % of neutral , unbiased basketball fans and pundits would say simmons is the best rookie.

The idea that only Jazz fans are biased is really funny. The narratives spun by pundits and national NBA media outlets have made Simmons the "obvious" frontrunner for your average NBA fan.

Can you imagine if DM played in the conference that doesn't play defense? It would be crazy
