Steve Francis has missed out another award from the NBA. There must be somekind of conspiracy going on at the NBA front office. This time it was the Defensive Player of the year, which was taken out by Alzono Mourning, with Shaq in second and Mutombo and Eddie Jones tied for third. No only did Francis get shafted by the media and NBA front office by not winning this award, he actually didn't even get one vote, what a joke.

You are joking right? Steve Francis has nice defense but its not great like the other players in the league. He is a rookie and wont get that much attention on the other categories. The only thing Im shocked about is that Theo Ratliff didnt get any votes, he is one hell of a player. Now I see why Cabbage likes him so much. ------------------ President of the Moochie Norris FAN CLUB

...ok, for some more sarcasm... It's amazing how someone who's REALLY a power forward can get Defensive Player of the Year while guarding the lane. So, if they got Mihm, do you think they'd move Zo over to guard one of the low blocks only. Because you know: Zo in NOT 7' Neither is Bill Russell or even Hakeem Olajuwon [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited May 16, 2000).]
So Hey who do you think should get it? If not for Mourning defense the Heat would never make the playoffs. ------------------ CUT Tino Isn't it amazing how quickly everyone did a Cat Backflip!!!!!

Walt Williams could use that trophy, but he is too modest. Alonzo needs the publicity to boost his ego cuz he is so small, but is forced to play against 7 footers. Guys who are not 7 feet need to at least have big heads. ------------------ Cato is 7 feet tall.
Walt Williams, what a joke that guy couldn't play D if his life depended on it, hang on that gives me a good idea, maybe next season Rudy could institute the Death or Defense rule, that is each players defensive performance is rated from 1 to 10 after each game and if anyone scores less than a 5, they killed, (hanging, gased, shot, drowned, poisoned) doesn't bother me the method they are killed, just something public that motivates the remaining players to play Defense.

Mourning Makes a DoD Wise-crack On accepting the award with a career high and team record 294 blocks: "I thank my teammates for letting their men blow by them." [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited May 17, 2000).]
Yeah, he said that Pops. He had me cracking up. ------------------ - hoopjunkie "when you come in da HOOD... things change."
Smegster; It amazes me how Matt (Secratary of Defense) Bullard has never won the Defensive Player of the Year award. After all, that is the reason Rudy keeps him on the roster year after year ------------------ You just want to be on the side thats winning.
You know something's freaky when one of Smeg's posts gets double-digit responses. What next? I'll actually have something constructive to say in a response without the use of stats? Geez. ------------------ ?
there is 0.01% chance of that happening ------------------ CUT Tino Isn't it amazing how quickly everyone did a Cat Backflip!!!!!
Ok, Mama Mobley. Hey, I just saw Charles in a bakery with a kangaroo and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. Had a great conversation... but that's another thread. ------------------ ?
