Even though this season was an anomaly and play was suspended in the middle of the 2nd round of playoffs, we have a champion to crown. The regular season standings will be our final standings for the season.
Therefore, may I present the Larry O'Brien trophy to !!!
And to make sure there are no asterisks attached to this championship, the result would've been exactly the same regardless of the methodology used in determining the champion. A look into 2 alternative methodologies gave the following results:
