On May 5th, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced that Celtics player Marcus Smart won the Player of the Season Award.
Smart averaged 11.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals in the regular season this season, helping the Celtics to 57 wins and 25 losses. This is the Celtics’ best record since the 2008-09 season.
Smart won the Best Fighter award for the second season in a row and the third time in nearly five years.
The Best Tackle Award was established in the 2016-17 season, and Beverly is the first player to receive this award. The award is determined by a metric called “scratch stats,” which tracks a player’s scrambling performance on offense and defense, such as scrambling, fouls, defense, screens and contested shots.
