NBA Hustle Award
Annual basketball award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hustle Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since 2017 to players that "best utilize hustle to help their teams win on a nightly basis." The award is decided using a metric known as "hustle stats," which tracks defensive and offensive efforts such as diving for loose balls, taking charges, deflections, setting screens, and contesting shots.[1]
Patrick Beverley was the inaugural winner of the award. The only multi-time winner is Marcus Smart, who has won the award three times.
