<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Hey Trail_Blazers, how can you be confused that AK is on the ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM????? The guy is in the running for DPOY.</div> When I am at school (in Utah) I watch all of the Jazz games. AK blocks people....but doesn't do much more. Besides, the NBA is about politics. How do you think that Kobe got all-defensive team? His jersey will sell, and giving him awards will increase his popularity and sales of his merchandise. Nobody wants an AK-47 jersey, and he isn't that great defensively anyway.

As the year is coming to an end why not have a JBB Season So Far Awards thread? MVP: Kevin Garnett All NBA Team: Peja Baron Davis Shaquille O' Neal Kevin Garnett Tim Duncan Defensive Player: Ron Artest Rookie: Carmello Anthony All Rookie Team: Lebron James Dwayne Wade Chris Kaman Carmello Anthony Udonis Haslem Coach: Jerry Sloan Sixth Man: Antawn Jamison Most Improved: Zach Randolph Damn Why Did I Do That? Award: Joe Dumars for picking Darko over Carmello.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trail_Blazer76:</div><div class="quote_post"> Nobody wants an AK-47 jersey, and he isn't that great defensively anyway.</div> He is 3rd in the NBA in steals and blocks per game and he's not that great at defense? He's always forcing people to change their shot or make a pass, he should be in the all defense team.

Not to mention he gets 8.10 rebounds a game. I mean with those stats, he isn't that good of a defensive player Here is a link to his stats page: http://www.nba.com/playerfile/andrei_kiril...x.html?nav=page
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trail_Blazer76:</div><div class="quote_post">games. AK blocks people....but doesn't do much more and he isn't that great defensively anyway.</div> Are you serious? You can't be serious can you? Do watch the Jazz games or at least ESPN or ESPN2? If you did you'll know AK-47 is outstanding on defense. He could do everything defensivly. Rebound,Steal,Block whatever you want him to do he can do it. Not only can he do it he does do it. man you couldn't been serious when you said that.Oh and I think you need to check ballerAK47's sig because it is so true when directed to you.
Regardless of how good he is, there are people that are much better, regardless of stats. Is there a stat for individual opponents shooting % or points scored?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trail_Blazer76:</div><div class="quote_post">Regardless of how good he is, there are people that are much better, regardless of stats.

Regardless of stats, name me 5 people then that deserve to be on the All-Defensive Team this year over Andrei Kirilenko.
the people that MIGHT be better would be ron artest and ben wallace. andrei is right up there with them, he is in the top 3 defensive players in the NBA also, i was thinkin on buyin an AK47 jersey, i wish the jazz would change their ugly uniforms
First off, please read the read I started in the Mod forum. Then maybe I'll grace this thread with a response.

jyd2k4 list is very biased...Bosh wony win ROY, Oneil wont get COY if the Nuggets keep winning, and then he needs Sloan to stop coaching if he wants the award this year, and VC AS MVP?!?!?! That is a joke, KG is hands down the MVP and he will be, he was robbed this year, it will not happend 2 years in a row.

Did you check the stats before you posted this garbage. How is being 2nd in steals, not doing much? The guy is a genius on defense, if you can't understand that I feel sorry for you. As for no one wanting his jersey, HELLO!!! People are just now recognizing his talent. This is his breakout year. I gurantee his jersey sales will go up 10 fold after a while. I HAVE HIS JERSEY!!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting sartre2025:</div><div class="quote_post"> Damn Why Did I Do That? Award: Joe Dumars for picking Darko over Carmello.</div> Please elaborate. Everyone knew heading.....wait, let me rephrase that, everyone with SOME basketball knowledge knew that Darko was a pick down the line. Detroit needs frontcourt scoring to be legit contenders, as in having a shot at knocking off a WC team for the ring. Darko was chosen because hw ill fill that need in time. He is very young, the youngest player in the league. People calling him a bust, or saying he was a wasted pick, are way to early on that one. Sure, Carmelo's is a good player. But so will Darko. And the logic is that you take a 20 ppg 7'0" over a 20 ppg SF if everything is equal. And yes, I am aware of the fact that Darko is nowhere near that currently. TayShaun Prince's emergence last year made the pick easier for Dumars. Like I said, knowledgeable fans knew last year during the draft, that Darko was raw, young, would need time to develop, and was a pick down the line. Carmelo having a better rookie year is of no surprise either.
MVP Tim Duncan All NBA Team Shaquille O'Neal Tim Duncan Kevin Garnett Baron Davis Tracy McGrady Defensive Player Andrei Kirilenko All Defensive Team Ben Wallace Andrei Kirilenko Tim Duncan Kevin Garnett Ron Artest Rookie Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James All Rookie Team TJ Ford LeBron James Carmelo Anthony Chris Bosh Darko Milicic or Chris Kaman Coach Gregg Popovich Sixth Man Aaron McKie? Most Improved Manu Ginobili, Andrei Kirilenko
^ Please tell me that you are joking? Milicic on All Rookie Team? Kaman has had a much better season.
Jarvis Hayes has had a better season than both of them Hayes: PPG 11.1 RPG 4.6 APG 1.7 SPG 1.34 BPG .31 FG% .399 FT% .851 3P% .322 MPG 34.0 Dont let his shooting % fool you, he has shot the ball very well the past week or so
MVP: KG All NBA Team: AI, Baron, Duncan, KG and Shaq Defensive Player: Kirilenko All Defensive Team: Kirilenko, Iverson, Artest, Wallace and Kidd Rookie: Wade - sorry LeBron, you are doing it on a team with no other players. All Rookie Team: LeBron, Bosh, TJ Ford, Wade and Melo Coach: Sloan, no question Sixth Man: Antwan Jamison Most Improved: Zach Randolph

He had Milicic and Kaman listed, and I was asking how he could contemplate between them, when Kaman has had by far the better season between them. He had "Milicic or Kaman." Not "Milicic or Hayes." Or "Milicic, Hayes, or Kaman." But "Milicic or Kaman." Given the two choices, its easily Kaman.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting cubanballer:</div><div class="quote_post"> Rookie: Wade - sorry LeBron, you are doing it on a team with no other players. </div> Wade doesn't have much others either
