53-win Kings don't win any awards.

[KingsOfKings]

A quick glance through the awards and it just jumps out at you, the 53-29 Kings didn't win any awards. It's pretty incredible to think about. The slower pace of the Kings probably doesn't do them any favors as they don't put up gaudy offensive numbers. Carmelo was hurt for a while, and seemed to struggle more offensively this year while getting used to Jamont Gordon's added offensive responsibilities.

I also would've thought that Spencer Hawes would have a shot at first or second team defensively at center, but he got beat out by up-and-coming Patrick Pattrerson and CJ Giles. Patterson recorded 4.1 blocks/game and Giles recorded 4.0 blocks/game. Hawes also had 4.0 blocks/game in fewer minutes. All three recorded 0.7 steals per game...not sure exactly where the voters thought the differentiating factor was. If playing time or pace were considered, I would've thought Hawes would make it.

Marion and Carmelo are also A+ defensive players, but you can't argue with Greg Oden and Ron Artest on the first team. Marion added to his shotblocking numbers dramatically and always steals quite a bit for a power forward, but got beat out by Chris Bosh for 2nd team all-defensive PF. Andrei Kirilenko won 2nd team defensive SF because of his shot-blocking prowess I assume, but Melo had more steals and probably has better overall defense.

[Thaaa BUCKS!]

Bucks had best defense and just one defensive pick, 2nd team none the less.. I even ran fast pace all season

Aside from Conley(who got the nod) and Morris, nobody put up stellar numbers in blocks or steals.

Comes to show that's not everything

I had a super balanced team so was not expecting much.

My only true super star is Arenas but he missed 56 days so he couldn't win an award.

Maybe Jrue Holiday could have been considered for all second or third team as he was one of the best PGs.

[KingsOfKings]

I suppose that's true. I went very slow, no trapping, no press...and I didn't see that big of a change in block and steal numbers. It would reason that there's less possessions so less opportunities for blocks and steals, but it appears that's not the case.

Is there a page that shows all the awards for each year or do we have to look at each of our players individually?

[KingsOfKings]

After the season turnover to the new year, the last years are lost. I've tried to explain how to go back to old files and export everything to a year folder so that I could make a plethora of pages linking everybody to the league history, but...no go so far.

[Detroit Pistons Sports Group]

i think my one or two possible guys could have been Lopez maybe for some sort of defense and Aminu had a really really good yr. I thought he should have been pretty close to some sort of award but guess not.

[Golden State]

Think you had an error with the Warriors Monta Ellis made all league 3rd team and all defensive 2nd team.

[KingsOfKings]

Got it, thanks

[Golden State]

No prob.

[NBL President]

I have a copy of the old file on my laptop. PM me and I will let you know if any of your players won awards.

[KingsOfKings]

How about you create some exports from those old files, zip them up, and send them to me so I can go to work building some league history?
