Camby won DPOY award

Marion didn't finish in the top 3. He'll be devastated.

Maybe he will play some defense then. He showed why he didn't deserve it yesterday.

Yeah, Barkley had great DReb, Stls, and Blks, but couldn't actually _play_ D.

I felt Camby was the front runner all season long and to the contrary I felt that while Marion is an OK defender his name shouldn't have even have been brought up amongst the nominees and Marion is my favorite player.

Marion can watch some cartoons while he is whining about it.

No respect!

Sounds like he has company........ (from Yahoo)

<<<But how many get to use the occasion to take a jab at fans, coaches and the commissioner for excluding him from the All-Star team?

"It's kind of ironic how I can win the award and not make the All-Star team," Camby said Friday. "The last couple of years I felt I had a great opportunity to be on that team. So, hopefully, next year with this award behind me, I can start getting some recognition about being on that team.

"It's a great honor to be on the All-Star team and I've never made it.">>>

All-Star games are predicated more on offensive talents and he's got to beat out Amare, not that's out of the question.

DPOY votes were cast for 29 players. Marion came in 4th behind Tim Duncan. Not bad for someone who's ripped 24/7 on this board for not playing defense.

He is? People on this board say his defense is overrated, but no one seriously accuses him of not playing it.

 

[Linderbee]

Budden does.

Wow, Camby and Marion are two peas in a pod, cut from the same mold, birds of a feather, long lost brothers, like minds, etc...

Sure they do, some quite relentlessly. Maybe those are some of the posts you don't see any more, and that's probably a good idea. I don't much like to blank out posts but my IL has gone international -- it now spans two continents.

LOL, that's possible, good point.
