1998-99 season completed (and lockout-free!)
NBA Champion: Miami Heat (4-0 over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers' third consecutive Finals loss, the Heat's second ring in three years; as an aside, the Bulls won just two rings in the '90s, in 1991 and 1996, ceding two rings to Seattle, two to Miami, and one to Portland, Charlotte, and New York)
Finals MVP: Alonzo Mourning
MVP: Shaquille O'Neal... (his sixth in a row)
Rookie of the Year: Vince Carter
Sixth Man of the Year: Calbert Cheaney
Defensive Player of the Year: Shaquille O'Neal
Most Improved: Steve Nash
Coach of the Year: Phil Jackson
All-NBA Surprises: David Wesley is a certified All-NBA player, Rod Strickland made third team, the rest remain pretty aligned to real life, though Penny and Shawn Kemp remain healthy superstars. Charlie Ward is a perennial All-Defensive Team candidate. Biggest All-Rookie Team surprise was Felipe Lopez.
