"The first ever NBA MVP was handed out in 1956 to Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks. There were six teams in the league at the time and I don’t really understand how the playoffs worked that season and refuse to figure it out for this piece."
"The world has changed a lot, but we've held tight to our mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it."
"For me, it was important to ensure the archives remained secure in the hands of the people who most care about them."

Congratulations to Vox for continually not understanding how to properly value contributors.
There seem to be particular impacts on hockey and soccer coverage, but some people outside of that have been hit too.
White had been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia for years.
Kirk is just the latest ex-SB Nation/Banner Society college football writer and editor to go on to a prominent role elsewhere.
McDaniel was previously a long-time SB Nation writer and editor, one of many caught up in that site's furloughs and layoffs last year.
Vox has announced the hiring of two new SB Nation executives, only months after cutting dozens of SB Nation staff.
Vox has demonstrated abhorrent management with SB Nation for several years. Their latest move there comes in finally giving SB Nation a senior vice president, but giving that role to the man who oversaw its destruction.
Three long-running lawsuits against Vox Media from former SB Nation site managers and contributors have now been settled.
