The inaugural NBA Awards Show is set to take place Monday night, and some long debates will be settled. This is the new format for regular-season awards instead of announcing them throughout the playoffs. Fans will also get to vote for several awards, including best dunk, best pass and best playoff moment. Drake is hosting, and the show will feature celebrity guests and musical performances.
