When I woke up, I heard that Holiday won the award, Suns finalized the general manager, James career planning and other information

1. Holiday won the Sports Ethics and Fashion Award

Today, the NBA officially announced that the Celtics Holiday won the 2024-25 Sports Ethics and Fashion Award (Joe Dumas Cup). The

NBA Sports Ethics and Style Award is designed to recognize players who best reflect sportsmanship and professional ethics on the field.

Holiday is 34 years old. This season, he averaged 62 games per game in the regular season, played 30.5 minutes, and scored 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He played in two games in the playoffs, averaging 10 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.

This award was established in the 1995-96 season. The winners in the past five years are:

2024: Alexander (Thunder);

2023: DeRozan (Bulls);

2022: Wiggins (Warriors);

2021: Conley (Jazz);

2020: Haslem (Heat).

2. James is expected to continue playing

According to experts' predictions, James will continue to play in the NBA next season.

James is 40 years old this year. It is said that whether his second son Bryce James becomes a potential draft target is an important factor affecting his stay or not.

Bryce James is James' second son, born on June 14, 2007 and is expected to participate in the 2026 NBA Draft.

In 2024, James' eldest son Brownie was selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick, realizing his wish to compete on the same stage.

What is exciting is that if James plays for another two years, will the father and son compete on the same stage?

3. Halliburton's father was banned from attending the Pacers' matches

It is reported that due to a conflict with Antetokounmpo during the G5 game, the Pacers made a decision to ban Teresa Halliburton's father John Halliburton from attending the team's home or away game.

John Halliburton was a referee, competing in Wisconsin law enforcement basketball, football and volleyball. He is not a walker staff member, he is just an audience member. Due to the existence of his son Halliburton, John Halliburton often came to cheer for the team and his son.

Pacers eliminated the Bucks 4-1 to advance, and the opponent in the semi-finals was the Cavaliers.

4. The Suns finalized the new general manager

Today, the Suns officially announced that the team has appointed Brian Gregory as the team's new general manager.

Gregory coached on a college-level team. He was hired by the Suns as Vice President of Player Development in 2023.

The boss has been appreciated by Ryan Dunn and Oso Iguodaro in the 2024 draft.

The Suns ranked 11th in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 46 losses this season.

Due to the team's poor record, Durant, the core player of the offseason, is expected to leave the team. What player to exchange for Durant is an important task before Greg.
