Nueva sorpresa de la NBA. Tras anunciar hace ya semanas que los premios de la temporada se desvelarían todos a la vez en una gala el próximo 26 de junio, ahora ha comunicado que en dicho evento no solo se otorgarán los clásicos galardones, sino que los aficionados podrán votar otros seis de nueva creación.
Los nuevos premios son:
- Dunk Of The Year
- Best Style
- Block Of The Year
- Game Winner Of The Year
- Top Performance Of The Year
- Assist Of The Year
Aunque es el aficionado quien debe emitir su elección, la liga ya ha reducido el número de opciones a tres —o cuatro en un caso— por categoría. El sistema de votación es sencillo. Se puede acudir a la web nba.com/nbaawards o bien hacerlo mediante Instagram, Facebook o Twitter. Si se elige esta segunda posibilidad se deberán usar dos hashtags, uno con el nombre del premio y otro con el nombre y apellido del premiado seleccionado.
Con este gesto la NBA trata de acercar un poco más la liga a los aficionados, que ahora tienen la posibilidad de involucrarse totalmente a la hora de reconocer qué jugadores o acciones le han gustado más a lo largo de la temporada.
A continuación, todas las categorías con los hashtags y los nominados para votar.
