Shan wins M.V.P.
at Bingo tournament awards
Shan Earommel R. Tartar won the Bingo Tournament’s Most Valuable Player Award
on Wednesday afternoon, September 20, 2017 in Socorro Gymnasium after setting a record
with first triple-double in the season.
Shan, a star for SOCES Warriors, joined Czar Wyne L. Galanida as the only players to
average a triple-double of the season, leading the Warriors into the playoffs after Lourence Q.
Mante left for the SOCES Warriors.
Shan beat out Grazil Ferdinand J. Gambing of the SOCES Nuggets, Jaymark R. Arcular
of the Songkoy Cavs and Baby Andri J. Gambing of the DATMES Team for the league’s top
honor.
Earommel’s honor capped the Bingo Tournament awards show, which included the
Mythical Five awards to Czar Wyne L. Galanida, Baby Andri J. Gambing, Jaymark R.
Arcular, Grazil Ferdinand J. Gambing and Carl Q. Coniato.
It was also a big night for the SOCES Nuggets and the Songkoy Cavs, who both
claimed awards.
In other hand, Lourence Fernand Q. Mante was rewarded for his do-everything role
with the Bingo Tournament champion SOCES Warriors. He led the league in steals and, had
the league’s first triple-double that did not include points, finishing with 8 rebounds, 9 steals
and 9 assists.
Some levity came from Shan, who received the first Lifetime Achievement Award and
responded with some trash talk and then praise for the big men who honored him.
After Shan took the stage, he pointed to the group of five and said he would kick their
behinds. After a long laugh from the crowd that was standing and cheering, Shan told the
other centers “you have no idea how much respect I have for you guys.”
The Bingo Tournament finals’ M.V.P. Award is named for Shan Earommel R. Tartar,
who was one of the most dominant defensive players in league history.
Russell Westbrook Wins M.V.P. at N.B.A.
Awards
Russell Westbrook won the N.B.A.’s Most Valuable Player Award on Monday night after
setting a record with 42 triple-doubles in the regular season.
Westbrook, an All-Star for Oklahoma City, joined Oscar Robertson as the only players to
average a triple-double for an entire season, leading the Thunder into the playoffs after Kevin
Durant left for the Golden State Warriors.
Westbrook beat out James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Kawhi Leonard of the San
Antonio Spurs for the league’s top honor.
Westbrook ended the two-year reign of Golden State’s Stephen Curry, who last season was
the league’s first unanimous M.V.P.
Westbrook’s honor capped the N.B.A. awards show, which included tributes to Monty
Williams, Craig Sager and Bill Russell.
It was also a big night for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Rockets, who both claimed multiple
awards.
Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo won the Most Improved Player Award, after his
teammate Malcolm Brogdon was named the rookie of the year.
Houston’s Mike D’Antoni won the Coach of the Year Award, his second. He led the Rockets
to 55 victories and a league record for 3-pointers this season.
D’Antoni, who also won the award while coaching the Phoenix Suns, joined Rockets guard
Eric Gordon, who claimed the Sixth Man of the Year Award.
Leonard, the Spurs star who was injured in the Western Conference finals against the
Warriors, missed out on the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Golden State’s Draymond
Green won, ending Leonard’s two-year reign.
Green was rewarded for his do-everything role with the N.B.A. champion Warriors. He led
the league in steals and, on Feb. 10, had the league’s first triple-double that did not include
points, finishing with 11 rebounds, 10 steals and 10 assists.
Leonard was trying to become the first player to win three in a row since Dwight Howard.
Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz was the other finalist.
Some levity came from Russell, who received the first Lifetime Achievement Award and
responded with some trash talk — and then praise — for the big men who honored him.
The Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Robinson, Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo
Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo were on stage to present the honor to Russell, who won 11
championships as a player with the Boston Celtics and went on to become the N.B.A.’s first
black coach.
After Russell took the stage, he pointed to the group of five and said he would kick their
behinds. After a long laugh from the crowd that was standing and cheering, Russell told the
other centers “you have no idea how much respect I have for you guys.”
The N.B.A. finals’ M.V.P. Award is named for Russell, who was one of the most dominant
defensive players in league history.
