Without looking it up, I'd guess it came in around the time Sixth Man of the Year did, which was early 1980s.
They didnt start recording blocks until the late 70s (I think). Not sure about steals
OK. I'll check. First DPotY and first 6MotY awards were both in 1983.
Oddly vs. today, perimeter players won most of the early DPotY awards, while bigs got most of the early 6MotY nods.
All-Defensive Team started Russell's last season, which is the same time Finals MVP was introduced.
Good looking those up. -- Interesting how things have developed. I'd like to see the "Hockey Assists" recorded.
And for some of these Awards, there should be more than one. Like DPOY & 6MOY, as perfect examples.
While we already have the All-Defensive Team; I think that we need to add a 3rd row to that.
Also, there should be an All 6th-Man Team.
The League has added a lot of Players, yet the Awards have lagged grossly behind. 450 Max NBA Players, plus another 90 Two-Ways. If they're going to have the Awards, then they might as well keep pace.
