The BlazersEdge End of Season Awards (R.O.Y.)

by mxpx5678 on Apr 15, 2009 12:40 PM PDT

*EDIT* To make this easier let's break it up into different posts.

First will be Rookie of the year.

I thought it would be fun to see what our submission to the NBA would look like as a collective group here at BlazersEdge.

In the comments below please put your selections.

Let's try and not turn this into a Blazer love fest (i.e. Brandon should not get any 1st Place MVP votes, and Lamarcus is not all NBA, Oden is not Rookie of the year).

Please do not list your ballot in a reply to any other comments. After we get a good number of votes I will tally up the totals for each.

If you need help check out ESPN.com's votes

Here is the Ballot.

Rookie of the Year

Please submit your ballot by copying and pasting. Put any reasoning below your ballot (not inline with the persons names)

Thanks!

What LA can't be on the All-NBA first team?

Than these clearly aren’t BlazersEdge End of Season Awards

From the back of Travis Outlaw's Franz card: Travis leads the team in monstrous thunder dunks, wins awards for post game interviews, and often gets extra points for degree of difficulty.

From the back of Greg Oden's Franz card: Nickname: Jaws. Has an insatiable desire to tear rims apart while cruising the open court, and was once interested in using head-gear for his profession.

I guess if you really believe he is one of the top 6 Fowards in the League then sure feel free… Just try and keep persepective.

He has been for the last month or so

In my opinion at least…

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.
