The CBA league ended the regular season of the 2023~2024 season after the end of the regular season. As has traditionally been the case, the regular season awards have been selected before the playoffs begin.
Regular season MVP Best Head Coach, Best Sixth Man, Best Defensive Player, Best Rookie, Most Improved Player, First and Second Team of the Regular Season, and many other awards.
However, according to the self-media director I Lie Where, this CBA league officially prohibits any unauthorized media and individuals from initiating the selection of awards, if any, it is an infringement.
Obviously, the CBA league has a bit of a domineering clause that many media dare not compete with it, but there is a media called "Sports Weekly", and he just goes against the wind. The selection event began after the end of the regular season.
But the process was still very tortuous, "Sports Weekly" sent invitations to 75 media people, hoping that they would participate in the selection event, but only 64 people agreed to vote, and in the end only 29 valid votes were received.
In other words, 46 media people are afraid to participate in the selection of Sports Weekly because of the requirements of this CBA.
The regular season MVP selected by the "Sports Weekly" is Abdul Salamu, the best defensive player is Yang Hansen, the most improved player is Qi Lin, the best rookie is Yang Hansen, the best coach is Qiu Biao, and the best foreign aid is Blakeney.
I don't know why the CBA league wants to ban voting activities in such media. It stands to reason that in order to promote the development of CBA, all media and fans can participate in such activities together, wouldn't it be more able to promote CBA and open up the influence of CBA?
Because the selection of awards is also a relatively hot topic, if everyone discusses more, it is also conducive to the development of CBA, I really don't understand what they think.
Of course, some media people represented by Su Qun still bravely voted for themselves, which is still very commendable.
It is worth mentioning that the voting activity launched by the "Sports Weekly" invited a Guangdong media, and this Guangdong media actually voted for the coaches and players of the Guangdong team, which is simply incredible.
For example, the MVP he chose was Hu Mingxuan, the best rookie was Huang Mingyi, the best coach was Du Feng, the best foreign aid was Waters, the best sixth man was Hu Mingxuan, and the best defensive player was Zhou Qi.
Such a vote can be said to be very different from the expectations of the fans, which is also obviously a very unfair and objective vote.
Of course, as a media representative, you have the right to vote for yourself, and you can vote according to your own preferences, but fans will feel that it is a bit unfair and objective.
