<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A sampling of voters for the NBA's postseason awards indicates Indiana Pacers forward Ron Artest will be named Defensive Player of the Year. Votes are not due until Thursday, but a poll of 24 voters showed Artest as the first choice on 19 ballots. A total of 127 media members vote on the award. </div> Link good pick.
Well deserved, regardless of whether he missed practices or not, his ferocity is unique to him. As much as I like Big Ben, Artest on basic field D is just killer, he'll annoy the heck outta people for the victories, he makes Bowen look like a schoolgirl.
This year Big Ben has let up a little since Sheed showed up and Tayshaun started stepping up. Artest on the other hand makes big ben look like Baby ben and like Magic johnson said he makes Bowen look like a school girl. Well deserved good job ron ron.
What Artest? Naw he does deserve it but I kinda forgot about him for a lil while. AK 47 has been surpurb as well and the fact that he's the only european player that plays d overshadowed Artest in my voting this year. I think Artest will win, it helped Indiana to the best record in the league.
