  Well, good for whomever that may be.

Why do I say that? Because we did what they won't. We voted Paul for MVP. Now, I can already see certain people's columns tomorrow, about how this is a joke, and ridiculous, and everyone that didn't vote Kobe for first, second, and third should be barred from ever being a part of this monumental award ever again. And I can see ranting and raving from certain respected friends, about how this is absurd. And hey, I even admitted that Kobe was going to win. That doesn't mean that I think he deserved it over Paul. I supported Nash two ...

Seventh Man of the Year: Jason Maxiell

Filed under: 76ers, Pistons, Nuggets, Mavericks, Spurs, NBA Awards, Detroit We Rite Goode added a special category to the season's final Blogger MVP Rankings last week: seventh man of the year. The reasoning? We elected to skip 6th Man--not just because Manu Ginobili was near-unanimous, but since typical candidates are de facto starters--and instead wanted to recognize a true impact reserve. A player who doesn't get starter's minutes (so, no one who played more than 24 mpg) and ...

I can't remember off the top of my head, but Chris Paul was one of only 4 (? was it 5?) players to average 20 points and 10 assists in a single season.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. Lastly, here are the final results of the Blogger MVP/ROY season-long voting. Looks like the majority of some very knowledgeable ...
