LB, Barbs, HAWK, to be named 6th Man today...

"Give him a soccer ball," the Lakers' Kobe Bryant said when asked what could be done to stop Barbosa. "Tell him Brazilians should be playing soccer, not basketball."

Even though it is from Kobe, I think it is a funny quote...

Hawk is forever Connie Hawkins. No offense to Barbosa, but I think Roadrunner or Blur are better suited to be his nickname.

Regardless, he's one of this team's more valuable assets. How many can claim that a gfuy off the bench averages 18 points per game? He's also very humble, and a geniunely nice guy. He definitely deserves this!

I hadn't realized he was the Suns' third leading scorer this season. His ppg average was just ahead of Marion's.

Love LB. He, Nash, and Bell make routing for the Suns easy.

Great! Amazing how many individual honours the Suns squad received over the last three seasons.

Not sure I remember them right, but here's what comes in to my mind right now in now particular order:

Mike D'Antoni - coach of the year 05

Steve Nash - MVP 05 and 06, All Star and NBA 1st Team 05, 06 and 07, Skills Challenge Winner, NBA Assist leader 05, 06 and 07

Boris Diaw - MIP 06

Leandro Barbosa - 6th Man of the year 07

Shawn Marion - All Star 05, 06 and 07, All NBA 3rd Team 05 and 06

Quentin Richardson - 3 point champion 05

Amare Stoudemire - All Star 05 and 07, All NBA 2nd Team 05

Nice!

As for Leandro, I'm extremely happy. He seems to be such a nice, modest guy, and obviously he's a great player.

Congratulations!!!!
