The Hero Baller Award is given to the Grinder who still believes he is in the prime of his glory years. These Grinders contribute the most to their team statistically. Hero Ballers can often be seen stealing rebounds from teammates, yelling at stat keepers about their assist totals, or, in rare occasions, dominating on the floor.
