The 2015-16 NBA season is officially over and with it comes the need to give out some hardware to the deserving players who stepped up this season. We’ve already given you our picks for the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and even the Most Improved Player awards but now its time to hand out some team honors.
No, there isn’t an award for the Golden State Warriors achieving a new NBA record 73 wins in a season but the All-NBA team hardware is an honor that carries some merit in the history books.
