Album of the Week: \u201cMoisturizer<\/a>,\u201d Wet Leg (2025)<\/i><\/p>\n

We\u2019re at the end of March. It took until now, but I have seen all 30 NBA teams live at least once this season. And soon, we will be ending the regular season, so that means we need to do some necessary housekeeping.<\/p>\n

One of the affairs that needs to be in order is awards. I\u2019m not here to discuss the eligibility of things \u2014 that rant was last week<\/a>. The funniest thing about awards is that they make snubs out of those who don\u2019t win, or weren\u2019t even considered. But a lot of players don\u2019t want your love; they just wanna fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll vote for the real awards this year, but here, we are recognizing one player per team with the Power Rankings Frontier Award! It\u2019s the third-most prestigious award you can get, behind the MVP and the Player Hater of the Year. I\u2019m guessing Sixth Man of the Year is like the sixth-most prestigious. (Why Frontier Awards? Look, we love tiers.) On that note\u2026<\/p>\n

Fine print: These Power Rankings won\u2019t just rank every team. We\u2019ll retain the tiers that teams will be promoted into and relegated out of. There will be five tiers each week:<\/p>\n
