Predict this season's awards now, and brag later Most Valuable Player: Kevin Garnett (Minnesota) 24.2 PPG, 13.9 RPG, 5.1 APG, 1.46 SPG, and 2.15 BPG Most Improved Player: Carlos Boozer (Cleveland) 15.6 PPG (+5.6 from 02-03) 11.60 RPG (+4.1 from 02-03) 6th Man of The Year: Antawn Jamison (Dallas) 14.6 PPG and 6.3 RPG Rookie of The Year: Lebron James (Cleveland) 21.0 PPG, 5.50 RPG, 5.8 APG, 1.56 SPG Defensive Player of The Year Andrei Kirilenko (Utah) 1.92 SPG (4th in NBA), 2.79 BPG (3rd in NBA), 8.1 RPG, and 16.5 PPG First Team ALL-NBA: PG: Sam Cassell SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Kevin Garnett PF: Tim Duncan C: Shaquille O'Neal First Team ALL-Defense: PG: Jason Kidd SG: Ron Artest SF: Andrei Kirilenko PF: Kevin Garnett C: Ben Wallace
MVP: Kevin Garnett, the stats don't lie and although he has help, his team is in position to FINALLY get decently far into the playoffs. MOST IMPROVED: Zach Randolph. I've said it all year, and although Joe Johnson is right there, Zach's team has a better record, and I wanted him on the All-Star team (bench), so that shows how good I think he's become. 6TH MAN: Earl Boykins. Not great stats, but he was one of the BIGGEST reasons that Denver is in contention for a playoff spot. Again statistically there are better players, but a lot of what he offers as a 6th man isn't in the box scores. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Carmelo Anthony. Look at the stats.... LeBron has more APG and that's about it, Carmelo has more PPG, RPG, better FG%, FT%, 3PT%, and all in LESS MINUTES!! DEFENSIVE PLAYER: Shawn Marion.... yeah this is my personal pick, Shawn leads the league in Steals, he gets 1.36 BPG and gets 6.6 Defensive RPG (9.3 total) -- if not Shawn, then I'm going with AK47!! First Team ALL-NBA: Kevin Garnett Tim Duncan Shaquille O'Neal Predrag Stojakovic Tracy McGrady First Team ALL-Defense: Ben Wallace Jermaine O'Neal Andrei Kirilenko Shawn Marion Ron Artest I don't think the First Teams require C, PF, SF, SG, PG so I just picked 2 forwards, a center, and 2 guards (I cheated and put Stojakovic and Marion as guards)
MVP: Kevin Garnett - Currently, his team is #1 in the west. He leads the league in double doubles and rebounds, and, no one has really played as good as he has all season. I think he's the hands down candidate for MVP. Most Improved: Zach Randolph - He has made huge leaps in bounds in every statistical category when he was put in the starting line up. He is now the franchise player and I really don't know if there is anyone else has improved to the extent that he has this year. 6th Man: Antawn Jamison - He's averaging over 14 ppg coming off the bench. He's done a terrific job in his first season coming off the bench and adjusting to the role of 6th man. Rookie Of The Year: Carmelo Anthony - His team is in the race for the 8th seed in the much stronger western conference. He's got better overall stats including his teams overall record. The only thing that James really has on him is the assists per game, but, Melo is not really needed to pass the ball, that's what Miller is far. So, I think, the fact that his team has a chance to make the playoffs in the West whereas I do believe James Cavs are now eliminated in the East after losing today, I think that he wins it. Defensive Player: Ron Artest - I was thinking him already, but, today I saw an interesting stat on ESPN during the game. People went through and looked at all his games this season, and they found out that people he guards are averaging only 8.1 ppg on 9.2 field goal attempts. I think that stat right there gives him the award. He's the best one on one defender in the league, and, unlike Ben Wallace, he has become highly productive on both ends of the court.

i would have said 6th man ginobili haha and wasnt i just so right mvp garnett, nobody wouldhave doubted that
Why isn't Kevin Garnett on the First Team? He'll qualify as a PF or SF, and if he only qualifies as PF, he'll still beat out Tim Duncan for first team. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting HoustonHoopa33:</div><div class="quote_post">MVP-Kevin Garnett Most Improved- Zach Randolph ROY- LeBron James 6th Man- Antwan Jamison Defensive Player- Ben Wallace First Team NBA: PG- Sam Cassell SG- Kobe Bryant SF- Tracy McGrady PF- Tim Duncan C- Shaquille O'Neal First Team Defense PG- Gary Payton SG- Ron Artest SF- Andrei Kirilenko PF- Kevin Garnett C- Ben Wallace</div>

MVP: Tim Duncan - He is the best. He has the team on his back. His sporting cast isnt half as good as Garnett. Duncan is the best but KG is real close MIP: Zach Randolph - Redd close though. 6th Man: Antwan Jamison - No doubt. Shouldbe a starter. ROY: Carmelo Anthony: No doubt either. How can you say a player that is only better in asist and steals is a better player. Melo has a worse line up and is doing better in a much much much harder division. He is clearly the ROY Defensive Player: Ben Wallace - How can you say Artest when all he does is Guard his player well. Ben Wallace stops any player at any position from scoring. He can steal from a guard and block a center. He cahnges at least 10 shoots per game. Artest is the best at garding his man though but Wallace is amazing too and he puts up better numbers. Close to Artest in steals and much better in blocks. 1st Team: Kidd McGrady KG Duncan Shaq 2nd Team Kidd Kobe Stojakovic Carter(a bit biased) Jermaine 1st Defensive Team Artest Bowen Marion/Kirilenko(cant decide) Wallace Ratliff
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Moo2K4:</div><div class="quote_post"> First Team: Sam Cassell Kobe Bryant Peja Stojakovic Kevin Garnett Shaquille O' Neal </div> Why do so many People have Cassel on their first team. He is a good player but First Team? I dont think so.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting the unstoppable:</div><div class="quote_post">Why do so many People have Cassel on their first team. He is a good player but First Team? I dont think so.</div> Have you looked at his stats? He's averaging 20ppg and over 7 assists. I think that right there is enough to put him on. He's got the best stats out of any point guard in the league for the most part. And, he's the 2nd option on his team and he has those stats. The stats don't lie and I think he deserves being on 1st team.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting the unstoppable:</div><div class="quote_post">MVP: Tim Duncan - He is the best. He has the team on his back. His sporting cast isnt half as good as Garnett.

Shouldn't HE have won MVP, then, following your logic?

Shouldn't HE have won MVP, then, following your logic?</div> exactly...so according to unstoppables logic, KG should have won MVP last year but he actually got gypped of it...cause TD had a better supporting cast with Tony parker, ginobili, and David robinson last year...and KG's team (cast wise) wasn't 'half as good' either... If TD wins it this year you kno there's somethin wrong....i dont think he deserved it last year or the year before (Jaskon Kidd should've won it in 2002) and he definetly doesn't deserve it this year... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Most Valuable Player Winner - Kevin Garnett Runner Up - Tim Duncan Most Improved Player Winner - Zach Randolf Runner Up - Erick Dampier Rookie Of The Year Lebron James & Carmelo Anthony should share it like Kidd and Hill did... 6th Man Of The Year Winner - Antwawn Jamison Runner Up - Emanuel Ginobili Defensive Player Of The Year Winner - Ron Artest Runner Up - Ben Wallace Coach Of The Year Winner - Hubie Brown Runner Up - Jerry Sloan This one's tough cause Hubie transformed a 28 wins team to a 50 win team IN THE WEST while Jerry Sloan took a team that was supposed to finish last in the West to playoff contention without any major superstars (aside from AK47) Executive Of The Year Winner - Jerry West Runner Up - Joe Dumars All NBA FIRST TEAM Sam Casell Kobe Bryant Kevin Garnett Tim Duncan Shaquille O'Neal ALL NBA SECOND TEAM Jason Kidd Ron Artest Andrei Kirilenko Jermaine O'Neal Ben Wallace ALL NBA THIRD TEAM Stephon Marbury Michael Redd Vince Carter Dirk Nowitzki Yao Ming ALL DEFENSIVE FIRST TEAM Kobe Bryant Ron Artest Andrei Kirilenko Kevin Garnett Ben Wallace All DEFENSIVE SECOND TEAM Doug Chrisie Bruce Bowen Jermaine O'Neal Tim Duncan Theo Ratliff ALL ROOKIE FIRST TEAM Kirk Hinrich Dwayne Wade Lebron James Carmelo Anthony Chris Bosh
