The first round of the 2017 playoffs lacked suspense.
The teams aspiring for the championship advanced smoothly.
The main focus was on the League's announcement of the season award winners.
Stephen Curry, leading his team to the top record in the league, was named the Regular Season MVP.
However, due to the abundance of stars on his team, and Westbrook's impressive stats, Curry was both the MVP and yet not selected for the All-NBA First Team.
Such an oddity naturally sparked discussions about the criteria for selecting the All-NBA teams.
Especially in the Western, Fei's stats were also divided among teammates, resulting in his most "mediocre" season since 2003—averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, and 0.6 blocks per game. Nonetheless, he still managed to make the All-NBA First Team over LeBron James.
Meanwhile, it was still a fruitful year for the Clippers.
