link Recap (for those who don't want to read the whole thing): This award is for players who average 15-30MPG but are not usually starters, not the first person off the bench, and not the player with the highest MPG on the bench. Players mentioned were: Deke, Eddie Jones, Jose Calderon, Roger Mason, Boki, and Uncle Cliffy. The winner is: Deke.
lol. they're reaching with some of these awards when they include "not the player with the highest MPG on the bench" to the criteria.
lol, 7th man? that's a borderline insult to a player like Deke, seeing what he achieved in Yao's absence... I remember when Toni Kukoc won 6th man of the year, he was pissed coz he felt he deserved to be a starter...
still, it's good to see deke get some recognition. that, and i think novak is a far better 12th man then span, and caused much more debate over nicknames.
The goofy italicized comments in that article make it almost impossible to read without wanting to punch your computer screen. What idiot editor decided that was a good idea?
