🏆 THE FINAL AWARD OF SEASON 02 BELONGS TO A FAMILIAR
shawn is officially the NEL’s first-ever BACK-TO-BACK MVP.

Returning to Happy Panda as the No. 1 overall pick, .shawn came into Season 02 with expectations already sky-high and somehow raised the bar again. He finished with a league-best 259 points, averaged a ridiculous 37.0 PPG, and led Happy Panda all the way back to the NEL Championship Game. 🌟

37 points per game. The highest scoring average we’ve ever seen in the NEL and the first player in league history to average 35+ PPG for a season. 📈

Last season proved he was an MVP. This season proved it wasn’t a one-time thing.

No. 1 pick. 259 points. 37.0 PPG. Back-to-back Finals appearances. BACK-TO-BACK MVP. 🏆🏆

History belongs to him 📈

Congratulations to our Season 02 Most Valuable Player and the final award winner of an unforgettable season!!

🏆 FROM FIRST-ROUND PICK TO CHAMPION.

In his debut NEL season, didn’t just live up to the expectations of being a first-round pick. He became one of the most dominant offensive players we’ve seen.

finishes Season 02 averaging 25.6 points and 12.1 rebounds per game with 179 total points, earning Offensive Player of the Year while helping lead Treasured Trash all the way to an NEL Championship.

Becoming the engine behind what turned into one of the best offensive teams in league history. Scoring, rebounding, creating opportunities and consistently producing every week, his impact was there from the beginning to the championship.

First season. First-round pick. 25.6 PPG. Offensive Player of the Year. NEL Champion. 🏆

It was only right.

OWN THE BOARDS. SET THE TONE. 🗣️

In his second season in the NEL, continued to show exactly what it means to Make An Impact. This season, that impact started on the glass.

finishes Season 02 as the NEL Rebounding Leader, pulling down 66 total rebounds and averaging 11.0 per game. Possession after possession, he battled on the boards and gave TNC opportunities on both ends of the floor.

But Justin’s value went far beyond the stat sheet. As one of the leaders of Tillman Nurse Consulting, he was the heart and soul of the team, making sure his guys stayed together, stayed motivated, and came ready to compete every week.

Two seasons in, and Justin continues to leave his mark on the NEL.

66 REBOUNDS. 11.0 RPG. SEASON 02 REBOUNDING LEADER. 🏆

🏆 HISTORY MADE. BACK-TO-BACK DPOY. 14 STEALS 🗣️

For the first time in NEL history, we have a back-to-back award winner. .b.k._dj is officially your Season 02 Defensive Player of the Year, defending the crown he earned in Season 01. 🔒
b.k._dj brought PB Sports Club to life on both ends of the floor. We know what he can do offensively, but defensively? He was a menace. While players came into the NEL ready to showcase their talent, DJ was the matchup waiting on the other side. Quick guards, scorers, shooters, it really didn’t matter. He took the assignment and made you work for everything. 👏

Averaging 2.0 steals per game with 14 total steals, the numbers only tell part of the story. Pressure, positioning, disrupting possessions, picking players up and making life uncomfortable.

The first to ever go back-to-back in the NEL. 🏆🏆

🎯 31 THREES. 93 POINTS FROM DEEP.

made his presence known in his second NEL season. Suiting up for Treasured Trash, Alex averaged an impressive 4.4 made threes per game, finishing Season 02 with a league-leading 31 three-pointers made. That’s 93 points from beyond the arc alone. 🔥

Showing up every game and consistently stretching the floor, played a major role in making Treasured Trash one of the most dangerous offensive teams we’ve seen in the NEL. In a championship season filled with weapons, you simply couldn’t afford to leave Alex open.

Season 02 3-Point Leader: Alex Benitez 🎯

League champion & 3-point leader. 📈

THERE’S MORE TO IMPACT THAN YOU THINK. 📈

Congratulations to .doss , our NEL Season 02 Sixth Man Award winner. 🥇

In his first season in the NEL, .doss brought something every great team needs. Energy. Communication. Consistency. A willingness to show up, stay engaged, and help lead whether the ball was in his hands or not.

He was part of the biggest comeback in NEL history, but his value went far beyond one game. In the huddles, on the sideline, and throughout the season, Kyven helped keep connected and competitive.

The Sixth Man Award is about embracing your role and still finding ways to change the game. There are levels to being great, and impact comes in more than one form. 🗣️

WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION IN THE NEW ERA LEAGUE. 🏆

Treasured Trash finishes Season 02 exactly how they played it from the beginning: on top.

From establishing themselves as one of the league’s toughest teams early in the season, to earning the No. 1 seed, to handling the pressure of the playoffs, this group stayed consistent when it mattered most and finished the job when the championship was on the line.

They weren’t just a team that got hot at the right time. Treasured Trash was one of the most dominant teams throughout Season 02, and now they have the trophy to prove it. 🫡

Congratulations to Treasured Trash, your NEL Season 02 Champions.

Now the questions begin…

Do they return for Season 03 and defend the title?

Do they try to bring back the same core?

Or does the draft shake everything up and force the champions to build another winning roster from scratch? 🗣️

Either way, Season 02 belongs to Treasured Trash.
