After an exciting season and first ever playoff appearance, it's about time to decide who we think deserves special recognition. Most Valuable Player: Most Improved Player: Best Sixth Man: Best Defensive Player: Rookie of the Year: Play of the Year: Game of the Year: Please post your nominations for each award (elaboration is optional). At the end I'll tally up the votes and see what the general consensus was on thse awards.
These are Grizzly only awards, right? Most Valuable Player: James Posey Most Improved Player: James Posey (assuming it's not most improved as a Grizzly) Best Sixth Man: Earl Watson Best Defensive Player: James Posey Rookie of the Year: Nobody. Rookie who will be good in the league for a while? Troy Bell. Play of the Year: Stromile's dunk against Dallas, over Dirk Nowitzki and someone else (Shaun Bradley?) Game of the Year: Atlanta, and the OT sessions.
Here are mine, feel free to argue - Most Valuable Player: James Posey Most Improved Player: James Posey Best Sixth Man: Bo Outlaw Best Defensive Player: James Posey Rookie of the Year: Theron Smith Play of the Year: Bonzi over the shoulder to Stro for the dunk Game of the Year: Cavaliers Game (2 OT)
Eh...Don't know much but I'll add my 2 cents as well. Most Valuable Player: James Posey-huge addition from free agency. His energetic play sparked the Grizz all season. Most Improved Player: Earl Watson-I didn't notice him all that much last season but he seems to be even better than Jason Williams this season. Best Sixth Man: Watson Best Defensive Player: James Posey-Defense...what more can I say except how I wished my Rockets would have kept this guy. Rookie of the Year: None? No rookies really impressed. Play of the Year: Jason Williams' fake pass/layup against the Warriors Game of the Year: Win against Dallas
