    Farther down than I thought, but then he didn't get his opportunity until late in the season. He did get 4 first place votes, 8 second place and 10 third place.

    Good for him.

    Whoever voted for Andrew Bogut should get his right to vote taken away from him though.
    There are a couple of other questionable names on the list, but Bogut undoubtedly takes the cake.

    Wow Marcin Gortat sure did finish low. Kind of strange, he was easily in any MIP conversations I've heard this year.
    As for Goran, as Clutch said, he didn't really get to shine til late in the season. Would have been different if he started all year. Then again Aaron Brooks says hi :p

    I think this is good news......the less recognition he gets hopefully the less offers he gets. i'd love to sign him for another 5 years.

    The MIP award every year is sort of a wierd one in the NBA.

    Its like, you aren't an "A" student, and probably will never be one, but you are a D student who work hard enough to earn a C+ or a B this year. Good job.

    This is insane. He only played 12 games! And his stats weren't even any better during those games.

    Not really. The A students get MVP, DPOY, all star games and max contracts.

    Among the top 7 on this list, there are 4 white guys and one Asian American. Just an observation.
