Mason not even top 5 for MIP

[The Truth #6]

I do think Mason should get some consideration but I think more than anything he's just getting more minutes, which doesn't diminish his accomplishment but proves that RC scouted him well. His minutes are about twice what they were last year and his scoring is about twice as well. At least it was when I checked a couple weeks back. It actually may have gone down recently. However, he does seem to have worked very hard in OS on his shot, which does look much improved. So props for that.

Mason, Harris, and Salmons are the only three who should be in the running for MIP right now...and Harris is really iffy since he was pretty solid last year too - he's just getting more minutes so he's putting up bigger numbers. So that really makes it come down to Salmons and Mason. Salmons has it over Mason in my book right now, but only because he is carrying a bigger load and doing a phenomenal job doing it.

not really, Hedo Turkoglu won MIP last year, and the average amount of time he played in 2006-2007 is 36:53 as opposed to 37:47 currently. Devin Harris' playing time averages from 33:30 in 2006-2007 to 35:53 currently. It's not that big of a jump, and for him to put up that many amount of points (i admit his rebound and assists fluctuated very little) he does automatically makes him MIP

it is still Parker, Ginobli, and Duncan's team
I dont think Mason is as important to the team as Hedo is to the Magic

I dont think getting 4 more points with an increase of 9 minutes will turn many heads

most awards in the NBA are irrelevant..

there are only a few awards I find credible..MVP, all-NBA teams, MIP..

Good stuff

rondo fastest man in the league?

All-Start Contest Idea
Fastest Player in League (Dribbling)

Each player gets 3 runs, baseline to a layup or dunk.

Best time wins.

I like this idea...

Everybody talks about Mason for MIP but what about Bonner?
