    in order for them to be co-rookies, they'd have to get the same number of points. it didn't happen.

    what's surprising about Timmy being MVP?

    Yea, the Mavs 14-0 start was probably most surprising to me, followed by the Lakers bad start, Amare, Pistons winning all regular season overtime games (8 total?)

    </div>Not true. Kidd and Hill were co-ROY's and had very different numbers.
