I thought Dr Jack Ramsay was a big Amare booster and luke warm on Yao but apparently he has come around. From ESPN's Chat Wrap - Chris (New York City): Sup Dr. Jack, I was wondering if you can give me your picks for all of the awards in the NBA including most improved, coach, and executive. Dr. Jack Ramsay: (4:14 PM ET ) As of right now:MVP -Garnett; <b>Rookie - Yao Ming</b>; Coach - Sloan; Most improved: Jason Williams; Exec: RC Buford (SA); Defender: Doug Christie; 6th man: Bobby Jackson.
Birds of same feather. Wasn't Kobe licking up Amare ".... he is the ROY hands down, no doubt about that !!"
COOL!! I got a question answered for the first time! I'm "Tom from Atlanta" and asked about the Most Improvied Player
Just getting off the ming topic.. how the hell does jerry sloan get the coach of the year when the jazz are 6th in the west?... why??? please tell me why??
Dr. Jack would be an idiot not to change his vote and vote Yao Ming as ROY. It's been really irritating that Dr. Jack said repeatedly he picks Amare Stoudamire in his chat. Way to go, Yao. Although Yao doesn't need Dr. Jack's approval, it's nice to win over a stubborn and really biased so called expert.
true but if they stopped playing so well, they'd finally get a decent draft pick and get better than 6th down the track.. IMO hes actually killing their team in a way.. anyways enough talk of them
So I guess teams like the clippers/cavs etc... have brighter futures than the jazz? Lottery picks are worthless unless there's a good coach there to make something of them.
Thanks for catching that! For just about the entire year, or at least since December/January Dr. Jack has been riding Amare for ROY. I find it interesting that being an Amare supporter that he now switches to Yao Ming. He is probably not the first, and won't be the last.
Coach of the Year should be Flip Saunders....Minnesota is garbage (other than KG) and they may be 3rd in the West.
Minnesota was barely a .500 team without Wally and 27-10 since his return. Nobody wins in the NBA without support and KG is no exception. Having said that, I agree that Coach Saunders should be a top candidate for the award.
I know we shouldn't say anything good about the Jazz. But I'm a lot more surprised to see the Jazz at #6 than the Wolves at #4. Sloan must have done something right.
Posey's stats in the last 2 months. Can his shooting be any more inconsistent?
