Stiles Household' end-of -season-concerto-de-suminitup-awards (NBA EDITION)

Normally, people would put an introductory paragraph here....I as well, felt compelled to qualify all that follows but let's just get to the point:

MVP - Chris Paul - Led the league in steals and assists and was more valuable to his team...if he shot as much as Kobe...(can you imagine the numbers??) Runners up - KG, T McGrady, STAT, Lebron

Rookie of the Year - it's gotta be Durant, how can you argue...well honorable mention to Al Horford, Luis Scola (though he is a "VETERAN" rookie), Al Thornton, and Juan Carlos Navarro.

Exectutive of the Year - Steve Kerr - "uh, psst, Steve...(in a whisper) yer BALLS are showing" said Ron Wolfley. Not only did he make the riskiest trade in acquiring a 35-year-old Shaq for an All-star Marion...he brought in a refreshed Hill (and HEALTHY might I add) and replaced a weak 8-spot James Jones with a DEPENDABLE and hustling G Giricek.

Coach of the Year - Rick Adelman - how can you argue against a TWENTY-TWO game win streak, 2nd best in NBA history...oh ya, W/O Yao?

Sixth Man - LB (Leandro Barbosa) - I ONLY choose him over Ginobili because LB is a TRUE 6th man where Ginobili is a starter that happens to come off the bench a few minutes into each game.

Eighth Man - Never heard of it? Well, I introduce the category as Gordon Giricek CLEARLY deserves the accolade - no team can depend on an 8th man hustling, diving, scoring as much or playing with the defensive intensity that G Squared brings to the Suns.

Most Improved - Rudy Gay - he turned into the REAL THING..smooth and left handed.

Best Product endorsement - Wade describing Barkley as a statue-esque character on horseback...eating a CheeseSteak (funny S**t)

Best Trade of the Year - Shaq for Marion and Marcus Banks (I wonder if Marion wants Rose or Beasely with the #1 pick)

Most devastating injury - Elton Brand with honorable mention to Greg Oden.

Most Pathetic season - Team - Knicks (drama drama), runner up goes to Heat

Most Pathetic season - player - Gerald Green - from B-Day cake dunk to TRADED and RELEASED

Hottest NBA player - KG's intensity is hypnotizing - Amare is runner-up (just wait, more to come....)

Ugliest NBA player - Chris Kamen - close runner ups to Sam Cassell, Baron Davis' beard and Boozer

Funniest Play of the Year - Shaq parting the Orange Sea

Whatever happened to: Synthetic balls.

Best "LIVE" Stiles Household moment(s) of the season - the many interesting interactions with Suns announcer/legend Tom Chambers. Honorable mentions: seeing Shaq with the Heat, Suns three-fest vs. the Nuggets

Play-off predictions:

2nd round West - Lakers, Jazz, Suns and Mavericks

2nd round East - Celtics, Cavs, Magic, Pistons

West Finals - Suns vs Lakers...Suns win in 6

East Finals - Pistons vs Celtics...Pistons win in 5

NBA FINALS - Suns vs Pistons - Suns win in 7 - STAT Finals MVP

Shaq going into the stands is not all that funny once you consider the horrible casualties.

Byron Scott should get COTY.

I'm going to lose my mind if the Pistons or Spurs make the Finals. I'm going with Lakers over Celtics in 6.

That's what I want! Hey, I picked the Patriots to lose the Super Bowl by 3 (different score though), I picked the Revolution of the MLS to lose to the Houston Dynamo in the MLS Cup final.....it's now the Celtics' turn.

And stop letting your husband read over your shoulder! I can see some of his personality peeking out. Unless he's just infested your brain which is all in all possible. Anyway, why don't we just call these this the "Phoenix Suns end of season Banquet" since like half your awards go to Suns players and staff and they are about to be eliminated by the Spurs anyway - so might as well plan ahead.

I will plan ahead LASports...I plan on Shaq flustermicating TD, Bowen being his dirty ol' self (and not getting away w/it this time), Parker with low numbers b/c we clog up his lanes now (did I dare say the Suns play good D against the Sterns?), and wHOReRY being a NON FACTOR.

Nicely done, Mrs. Stiles, although your unabashed homerism appears to exceed whatshisname's. I mean, really, inventing a category, (8th man), just so another (anonymous) Sun gets some ink?

Chambers is a cool guy, isn't he?

Oh, and a spelling correction if you don't mind.

You wrote San Antonio Spurs, it's San Antonion STERNS.

If your scratching your head about J.R. Smith play NBA 2K7 or 2K8, he can dunk through the legs in traffic and get the and 1 - and pretty much make any dunk with anyone in front of him. Also, he's rated like 85 from 3pt land, I can bring him off the bench and put up 22 and 6 like it's nothing

Best Trade: It has to be KG no matter how you look at it. The biggest turnaround in NBA history, from second worst record in the league to the best? Executive of the Year: The Sonics, they essentially turned 1 second round pick into 6 million in expiring cap space and 3 future first round picks. It will be very interesting to see what kind of core they build over the next few years. The Suns gamble hasn't paid off entirely, yet.

No love for Mitch in LA T-Roz? The guy basically kept Kobe from jumping off the ledge, then turned basically 3 1st round picks, Kwame Brown and the rights to Marc Gasol for Pau and a future 2nd rounder.... eh, maybe that just makes Chris Wallace the worst GM since Billy King.

I think the exec of the year is Laker GM Mitch Kupchak. How did he pull off that Gasol deal???
