A litte Brandon Roy love from NBA.Com Midseason Awards

Check towards the bottom, and put that into perspective.
They could choose ANY 4 gaurds and the other 3 are future First Ballot Hall of Famers:
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
Chris Paul
and they chose our boy B-Roy as the 4th...it is nice to see him gaining respect and notoriety around the league.

Also, Nate got honorable mention for Coach of the Year.

 

Nice!

 

Hey, don't forget the Honorable Mention for Nate as COY. That's about the only love he's gotten from anyone, anywhere this year (if you were to take this forum as a sampling)!!!

 

not really news that roy is 2nd team all-nba on anyone's list. it would be news if he wasn't.

 

Really? I have to disagree...Chauncey Billups is just as deserving as Roy imo. Of course I give Roy the nod, but I am bias.

 

roy is averaging 4 pts more/game and has a 4 pt+ higher PER while facing a lot more double-teams than billups, and unlike billups he is carrying a young team. billups has been great in denver but as far as all-NBA it's not close.

 

yeah he also put Dirk in the first team, so shows how much he knows.

 

Denver has a better record than Portland, and youth aside, I'd take Roy's supporting cast over Billups'.

 

Yeah... Dirk over Duncan on the first team? And Al Jefferson on the second team? I like how any Celtics got shut out by him though.

 

I think Brandon is truly a superstar now. It's been an amazing and surprising quick ascent.

 

We haven't had an all-NBA player (even third team) since Clyde Drexler made first team in 1992.

 

B-rooooooooooooooooy

 

Where is Travis Outlaw in Honorable Mention for 6th Man of the Year?

And I bet Oden is in the conversation for Rookie of the Year by the end of the season.
