On Sunday, the NBA unveiled the list of every finalist for its yearly awards. Take a look below at some of the top award finalists.

NBA MVP Finalists

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder

Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets

No surprise that these three are the three finalists for the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award. However, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could be the frontrunner.

NBA Coach of the Year

Kenny Atkinson, Cleveland Cavaliers

J.B. Bickerstaff, Detroit Pistons

Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets

NBA Coach of the Year is another award that a lot of fans have their eyes on. All three candidates are deserving of the award. However, getting the Pistons to the postseason should be good enough to get you the job as president of this country.
