BET Networks To Produce NBPA's “Players’ Awards” Event In July

BET Networks will produce the NBPA’s first annual “Players’ Awards” from Las Vegas in July. The end-of-season awards, voted on by players, will not be carried live on the Viacom-owned BET, which will produce the event with Hollywood production company Prospect Park. Specific dates for the awards show and telecast have yet to be finalized. The event will have traditional awards, like MVP and Best Rookie. It also will feature awards like “Clutch Performer,” “Coach You Would Want to Play For” and “Best Home Court Advantage.” It will be the only NBA awards show this year, but will face competition next year when TNT produces the NBA’s official awards show in June – though TNT still has not settled on a location or format for the show.
