    You need an insider subscription to view the whole article, but I quoted the good bits.

    I'm really glad that Brandon is getting some national publicity. I realize people constantly gush about him, but he's finally getting the love he deserves. He has been amazing all year, but he kind of blends in with all the other personalities on this team when you're looking at it from far away. You would have to watch this team regularly to fully understand what Roy does for this team.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think that that's absolutely true.

    Most voters don't notice things like that though. They would only notice the sub-par player becoming an All-Star. Not the guy going from All-Star to superstar.

    In negative news, all the ESPN analysts gave their top 5 lists for MVP's. Roy was not top 5 in any of them but Billups, Parker, and Pierce got a few 4th and 5th's. And Marc Stein has B-Roy in his All-NBA 3rd team, not 2nd. No biggie, just thought I'd point these bits out.

    Agreed. Billups, Parker, and Pierce are all mere shadows of their former selves and nothing special this year IMO.

    Yup. That's what I think of when I think of the "MIP."

    Has an all-star ever won Most Improved the following year? That has to be a pretty short list, if so.

    Harris is the lock, but I think Salmons should definitely be on the list.
