Article filled with lots of goodies about the cats as far as awards go


Most Improved Player: Gerald Wallace

Irked as I remain by the lack of All-Star consideration received by Stephen Jackson -- whose arrival in mid-November almost instantly transformed the long-suffering Bobcats into playoff material -- I remain just as wowed by the across-the-board jump in Wallace's effectiveness.

A sustained jump, too.

His ridiculously improved rebounding has tailed off a touch, but 10.7 boards per game for a slender small forward (to go with 19 points and 2.1 steals) did get Wallace to the All-Star stage, which is something I don't remember anyone forecasting back in 2004 when Charlotte claimed him off Sacramento's roster in the expansion draft.


Crash also gets a mention in Defensive Player of the Year and Larry gets a mention in Coach of the Year.


Another little nugget I liked:

It's amazing how that 3 ball (esp. the corner 3) has been falling for Crash this season. What's really strange is now I don't even cringe when he takes it...never thought I'd be saying that.

His shot improved considerably over the season too. At least once we acquired Jax, it seems.

Great stuff, but their Awards Watch guy doesn't even have Crash in the MIP race.

Also:

Dirk Nowitzki, Mavs, 4

2 of those were against us.

teej...since Crash (for many years) has been a seven-category-fantasy-dream he ever gets considered for MIP...kind of a shame...it seems (to me) he steps up something about his game every year...
