Which unlikely thing is likeliest to happen?

Which of these is likeliest to happen?

  • Keldon Johnson wins Sixth Man of the Year

  • Mitch Johnson wins Coach of the Year

  • Wembanyama wins MVP

  • A second Spur on the All Defense team (make a post indicating who)

  • A second Spur on the All NBA team (make a post indicating who)

  • A Spurs player wins MIP (make a post indicating who)


Results are only viewable after voting.
NBA loves creating new narratives and Wemby is by far the most interesting and entertaining player in the league.

If he continues on this 30/14/3 with 4 blocks trajectory and Spurs win 50+ games, he'll surely be top3 in MVP voting.
I'd say it's about if Luka is healthy and continues doing what he does, LA narrative will be too strong.

Can't see the NBA wanting to go back to Jokic/Giannis and SGA is the least marketable MVP ever.
 
How we doin?
None is very likely with the Thunder taking pretty much all the awards but, as some of us said: Mitch winning CoY was always gonna be more likely than Wemby winning MVP. Mainly because if Wemby won MVP, Mitch was winning CoY too most likely. I don't know why folks were arguing otherwise, tbh.
 
I'm preaching to the choir, but in terms of narrative the upcoming three OKC games, and potentially winning the cup, are setting the Spurs of for a fun post-season awards watch.

  • KJ as 6th man of the year conversation begins in earnest ...now.
  • Dylan will be competing for ROTY if his minutes increase and the Spurs continue to win. 50 wins and a few 'A' games against his competition would do wonders.
  • Defensive POY is cut and dry, it's Wemby's if he hits 65 games.
  • MVP - A good dry run for Wemby this year and he emerges as MVP favorite next season
  • COY - Same as Wemby, 2025/26 is a dry run year for Mitch. He'll get a lot of attention which will set the stage for future awards.

Added: Is Castle making a case for Most Improved?

I disagree, CoY awards tend to go to coaches that come out of nowhere. To teams that exceed expectations (unless they pull a historic season like Kerr with the Warriors or OKC's coach now). This is Mitch's best shot to win CoY, imho.
 
How we doin?
Right now I'd say these three things are within a realistic realm of possibility, and I'll rank them in order of likelihood (IMO)

1. A second All-Defense Team player (Castle... of course this assumes Wemby can even be the first)
2. A second All-NBA player (right now it would be Fox)
3. 6MOY (Keldon
4. Coach of the Year

WemVP and MIP seem all but eliminated at this point

Castle is making a case for All-Defensive teams
