Some people call him Humble Moses. Others, The President, Uncle Malcolm or even Mookie Dew. And while nobody that we are aware of calls him the Gangster of Love (or for that matter, Maurice), without a doubt we can all call Boston Celtics reserve floor general Malcolm Brogdon the NBA’s 2023 Sixth Man of the Year.
The onetime Virginia player was presented with the award at Atlanta’s TNT Studios with the Celtics in town to take on the Atlanta Hawks for their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. Three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner Jamal Crawford presented Brogdon with the John Havlicek award.
Named for the ultimate sixth man — and a Boston legend — it is fitting a Celtics player was the first to receive the renamed award.
To see Brogdon’s (or should we say Brogdo?) big moment for yourself, check out the clip embedded above.
