About this Board
On Tuesday, November 10, 18 players took on NBA Deep Cut #48: “Name a player who played for the Miami Heat and won an MVP, Finals MVP, Defensive Player, Rookie, Sixth Man or Most Improved award.” The prompt had 23 valid answers, and players found 8 of them. Correct answers score more the fewer people name them, so the deepest cuts are the ones worth the most.
