NEW YORK — My postseason award winners job would be so much easier if the NBA allowed voters to do it right; my way, in other words. Actually, Major League Baseball originated how to get maximum bang for the buck when announcing individual honors.
Think how much more publicity that system generates. If you don't have your pocket calculator handy, it's twice as much as the NBA. David Stern's troupe is limited to a winner per central category.
Considering there are roughly 500 people now eligible for ultimate recognition, as opposed to 80 or so when the league began acknowledging its leading men in the early-to-mid 1950s, it would be reasonable to spread the superlative wealth between the Eastern and Western blocs.
