Let’s start this off with the most important award for an NBA Player, MVP.
It’s James Harden, no question.
He has had an unreal season this year. Honestly, I believe that he should have won...
David’s Picks:
MVP: This shouldn’t be a discussion, like a lot of the awards this year. James Harden should have won the MVP last year but Russell Westbrook had a phenomenal story that everyone...
The 2017-18 NBA season is ending very soon. Each year there are a couple rookie players that stand out from the rest. This year, the debate on who should win rookie of the year has been a big controversy.
The Royals boys’ basketball team dominated the state of Minnesota in the regular season after missing the State Tournament last year.
Last year, the Royals had a 21-5 record and were ranked second in the sections tournament, but the season was ended by the Wayzata Trojans in the finals. The Royals fell 51-66 and failed to earn a spot at Target Center for the first time since 2012-2013.
Zeke Nnaji, junior, had a dominant season for the Royals boys’ basketball team this year.
Nnaji was honored at the end of the season by being put on to the second team All-Metro. Nnaji was very deserving of this award after he dominated teams with his height and ability to shoot. Teams didn’t just have to worry about his big presence in the paint, but also had to cover his mid-range shot.

The Royals hard work and consistent play to keep the streak alive game in and game out almost came to an end. The Royals were down 11 points in the second half and it looked like they would finally lose.

After two commanding victories in the opening rounds of the MSHSL state tournament, the second-seeded Hopkins Royals took on the one-seeded Eastview Lightning in what was a true championship fight.
Paige Bueckers, sophomore, has been a staple in Minnesota girls basketball for the past few years, joining the HHS Royals varsity girls basketball team in 8th grade.
After she led the HHS Royals...
