sucks that last year dwight got snubbed in voting to Shaq who was having a worse year. At least now people realize that Shaq is over the hill, the reign of Dwight has begun! Dwight = starting center for the East for the next 12 years.

Yeah, I wish he would have gotten it last year, but hey, better late than never.



Edit:

He finished 3rd overall, barely behind LeBron.

Is it safe to say that Josh, err...Dwight Howard has finally "arrived" in the eyes of the national audience?

Garnett edged last year

I expect Dwight to lead the NBA in votes next season. There will only be more competition at the forward spot and Dwight will be even more dominate at the center position.

Getting a pre-season game played over in Europe next season could help boost his votes as well.

Congrats Dwight. He's come a long way in 3 & 1/2 seasons. Hard to believe he is only 22 with more improvement to come.

Dwight might be playing with the most unselfish cast of players at every position.

Dunkfest by D12.

I'm expecting a lot of alley-oops from the east.
Dwight is going to dominate.
