NBA 2008-2009 RECAP (Individual Achievements)


Ssports MVP Player for 2008-09 Season

In the 2008-2009 season, Kobe Bryant and Labron James dominated the headlines. Many of you wanted to see a Bryant vs. James NBA finals.  Unfortunately, that my not happen anytime soon.  Congrats to the following players:  MVP: Labron James,  NBA Most Improved: Danny Granger with Devin Harris getting a lot of votes, Rookie of the Year: Derick Rose, and NBA Scoring Leader: Dwayne Wade. 

 

I will give you my opinions on some of these awards.

 

MY CHOICE FOR MVP-Dwayne Wade

One award I partially agree with is the MVP award.  If the MVP selection was based on the entire season including the Playoffs, Kobe would be the MVP hands down. If I were one of the voters I would elected Dwayne Wade as the NBA MVP.   Listen to my Podcast to find out why (Sorry fellow Laker fans).

 

 


 
NBA most improved player-Nene

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER- Nene’ (My Choice)

This is one of my favorite awards. It’s a break out season for most new players. It shows a trend of more great years to come. Danny Granger won the award. I personally thought, it should have gone to  Nene’ of the Nuggets.  He played a key factor in the Nuggets success. He improved in every statistical category. One notable category was scoring.  In the 2007-2008 season, he averaged 5 points a game. He more than doubled that output by averaging 14.1 Points a game during the 2008-2009 season. 



ROOKIE OF THE YEAR-Derrick Rose

I agree with the NBA’s decision.  Rose was ready to be a star day one.  In discussions of top PG, many overlook Rose and say he is a great rookie.  I disagree, I personally think he is already one of the top PG.  Next year he should be an Elite PG.   This award is a great predicator of future success.  Labron James, Tim Duncan, Chris Paul, and Jason Kidd were won this coveted award.  Check out my source Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Rookie_of_the_Year_Award
