Turning Jakarta’s overlooked sidewalks into common ground

In a city built for cars, sidewalks often feel like an afterthought. But revitalized stretches in Jakarta are proving that these in-between spaces have the power to shape not just how we move, but how we connect and belong.

Read on The Weekender

Among the nominees are Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine's dunk in Phoenix, Russell Westbrook's buzzer-beater against Denver and a no-look pass from Nikola Jokic.

Those awards will join the more traditional awards like MVP and defensive player of the year that will be announced during the show.

Fans will be able to vote on nominees on NBA.com and on various social media platforms.
