Suns Grant Hill Among Divisional Winners of 2007-08 NBA Sportsmanship Award

[Michael]

Congratulations to Grant Hill! Nobody deserves more than him.

He'd be the first Phoenix winner and the first player to win the award twice.

He is a gentleman-athlete.

Congrats to him! He deserves every bit of this award.

EDIT: BTW, how come the gentleman below, who has never committed a foul in his career (his face says it all), has never won this award?

And on that note:

The annual award reflects the ideals of sportsmanship -- ethical behavior, fair play and integrity -- in amateur and professional basketball, a key focus of the league’s Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA grassroots youth basketball program.

Each team nominated one of its own players for this award.

Who WOULD the Spurs nominate?

 

[Phade]

guarantee a current spurwill never win this award..

 

[Chaplin]

Who WOULD the Spurs nominate?

Michael Finley.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Michael Finley.

Are you saying he hasn't fallen into the pockmarked Sith Emperor's "style" of basketball?

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Finley? Arent the mavs still paying down his unsportsmanlike attitude?

 

[Kody Rumin]

I had the pleasure of meeting Grant a few weeks ago, and he is a really classy guy. I hope he wins it.

 

[dodie53]

the spurs will nominate matt bonner

 

[Bufalay]

Looks like Duke's doing a good job producing good guys.

Who WOULD the Spurs nominate?

A truly laughable attempt to slander the Spurs.

Bruce never wins this award because he plays something called tough defense, a concept foreign to Suns fans. Thus you hate him.

The Spurs would likely nominate Brent Barry or Michael Finley.

Not a fan of logic or rational discourse, eh?

 

[passenger]

bruce bowen not on the list,are you kidding me??
Doesn't he send flowers after he intentionally injures players?

Go Grant!!

 

[Louis]

What's with the obsession with the Spurs?

Grant Hill wins an award and nearly every post in the thread is about the Spurs. Trophy envy?

-----------------

You've got to give it to the Suns FO. I usually complain about them, but the additions of Hill, Skinner, Giricek, and Shaq have been stellar moves.

Grant Hill is one of those guys that exemplifies sportsmanship. Good for him.
