It's hilarious to me Bobby Portis won the backbone award for the Bulls

He broke Mirotic face for the squad

No lies told

Nba players respect Mitchell’s skill more than Ben’s. Being a go to guy as a rookie and leading his squad into the 2nd round of the stacked west was much harder than what Ben had to do.

That backbone award is a nice accolade to be awarded by fellow players....

That's respect.

Bill Simmons will still win the media ROY and nikkas will still be mad. Both these dudes are gonna be perineal all stars. I don’t know why nikkas mad at Ben Simmons. He didn’t make the rule on what’s a rookie and what’s not. Also, he had the better overall season, although DonOfThemAll Mitchell was great. I don’t like the way he was acting like a hoe and wearing dumb ass rookie shirts. He gon learn not to feed into that media shyt cause these same nerds will be the first one to turn on you with they nerd ass. Other than that though, I’m rooting for both these guys to have a great career.
