[Martti.]

The most Improved player..

I've changed my mind.. I think Iguodala deserves it more..

He's a total leader of the Sixers. 3 triple-double's this season..

Has had 16 boards in a game, 15 assists in a game..

And 34 points..

Stats :

06/07 - 18.4 Ppg, 5.8 Rpg, 5.6 Apg, 2.1 Spg, 40.4 Mpg.
05/06 - 12.3 Ppg, 5.9 Rpg, 3.1 Apg, 1.6 Spg, 37.6 Mpg.

[maes]

Who would have thought all those years ago, looking at these two that they would day be dominating the league and both be MVP candidates?

[mvpshaq32]

Can I edit my post a second time, because I put Lebron twice in NBA 1st and 2nd team.

[deihatein]

My chose:

MVP:Dirk 41
Rookie of the year:Roy
Coach:Avery Johnson
6th Man:Barbose(i think ginobili started too many games)
Defensive:Camby
Most Improved:Monta Ellis

All NBA:First Team
Dirk
Nash
Bryant
Lebron
Stoudamire

All NBA:Second Team
Yao
T-mac
Wade
Melo
Arenas

All NBA:Third Team
O'neal
Iverson
Randolph
Carter
Billups

All NBA Defensive Team:First
Camby
Bowen
Raja Bell
Artest?
Wallace

All NBA Defensive Team:Second
Josh Smith
Tyson Chandler
Okafor
Duncan
Marion
(It's hard for the defensive team if you don't know anyone who are good in defense)

All Rookie Team:First
Roy
Bargani
Gay
Foye
Morrison

All Rookie Team:Second
Millsap
Aldrige
Marcus Williams
Tyrus Thomas

That's my pick but it's hard to choose on the Rookie Second team because all i known rookie are at the First team and they deserve it (expect for artest on the All NBA Defensive Team:First ) and this is a great topic

[Dan's Brain]

(looking at the Nash/Dirk pic) they look like kids. That's weird. The years really havent been kind to Dirk at all.

[[Q]]

Can I edit my post a second time, because I put Lebron twice in NBA 1st and 2nd team.

no, unfortunately that would disqualify your picks. if i let yoiu edit twice i would have to let everybody do it. since lebron's making one of those teams, you're guaranteed one point on one team

[TomCat]

i will have a go.

(this is really hard, theres Okafor, Prince, Artest, Kidd, KG, Brand

Kobe will get votes i don't think he deserves first team
i would put a team of

[TomCat]

must post your picks before the end of the month.

1CenT, he posted that at the start of march, and is now in april. so i dont think he will accept them

[Matt]

here is who i think DESERVES recognition

MVP: Steve Nash => gets the nod because of better play head-2-head vs Nowitzki
COY: Sam Mitchell => from 2-8 to 3rd best record in the East
ROY: Brandon Roy => no competition
DPOY: Tim Duncan => anchors the leagues best defence...simply outstanding defender
6th: Leandro Barbosa => he just kills teams off the bench
MIP: Kevin Martin => no one else came from the bench to become the teams #1 option. 20ppg on 47%

All NBA

1
F Dirk
F Bosh
C Duncan
G Nash

2
F KG

[[Q]]

Everybody except Andrew, Basic, and Christopherson are tied for first with 5 points with a correct pick of Barbosa for 6th man.

EDIT #1: With the pending announcement of the Coach of the Year Award (Sam Mitchell):
Current Leaderboard
Hinrich 12- 10 pts
scrub- 10 pts
Almost everyone else- 5 pts

Andrew is 0/2

[deihatein]

[Dan's Brain]

BOOYAH! I'm winning something for the first time in my freaking life.

Hey are my picks accepted, i voted before the end of the season =/
I got Mitchell and Barbosa as well

[[Q]]

aw i made a wrong spelling instead of barbosa i wrote barbose. hope that will be considered

yes, there is an understanding of who you were voting for. you have 5 points.

1Cent, like Scoop said earlier in the thread, you made your picks on April 13th, while everyone else was required to make theirs in March. You would have a considerable advantage over the other members. Unfortunately, I cannot include your picks in this contest, but you're more than welcome to keep score for yourself

[Andrew]

Andrew is 0/2

Like I said in the other thread, that's what I get for picking against the favourite. I should've known picking Manu as Sixth Man of the Year would turn out to be a flop.

yeah its a lot like NCAA brackets in a way becuase if everyone picked the same teams it wouldn't be fun... what makes it fun are the different picks and see who was able to get ahead with the unpopular picks. but then again, the popular picks are there for a reason.
