http://www.nba.com/news/awards2006_improved.html Not a surprise... I wouldve rather had West winning it Yao finished 11th in voting.
LOL! Kobe Bryant got a third place vote. Anyways, who knew that France was such a basketball factory? First Parker and now Diaw...
Diaw's career is on the rocks now. The curse of the MIP award is on him. Half the players continue to do well. The other half just disappear due to an injury that keeps them out half the season. 1998-99 Darrell Armstrong, Orlando (Injury) 1999-00 Jalen Rose, Indiana 2000-01 Tracy McGrady, Orlando (injury) 2001-02 Jermaine O’Neal, Indiana (injury) 2002-03 Gilbert Arenas, Golden State 2003-04 Zach Randolph, Portland (injury) 2004-05 Bobby Simmons, L.A. Clippers Jalen, Gilbert and Bobby are the only three that have managed to play at least 65 games every season after winning the award.
