It really was Alvin who came through for us in that 01 Knicks series though, more importantly than Vince, which surprised everyone. Alvin was the series MVP. Vince hurt us the first few games.

For sure Alvin was really good in that series, but he benefited greatly from the attention Vince was getting. Vince came alive in Game 4/5 when he got criticized for being soft. He played well after that with some crazy games in the philly series.

A player drafted outside of the top three will win Rookie of the Year



Verdict: Correct

Scottie Barnes, the fourth pick, narrowly claimed the Rookie of the Year award after averaging 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 74 games. Barnes received 48 of the 100 first-place votes from a global panel of sportswriters and broadcasters and finished with 378 total points, topping the 363 points for Evan Mobley. The 15-point difference between Barnes and Mobley was the smallest margin in the balloting under the current voting format, which began in the 2002-03 season.

Including Barnes and Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and Franz Wagner also had cases to win the Rookie of the Year award. The voting results illustrated just how impressive the rookie class was last season as it has the potential to go down as one of the best in history.

Yeah lol, I take nothing away from this other than Scottie is busy working on his game and not a rap mixtape… Unlike some of his contemporaries.

People are clamouring for 34 year-old, one legged KD when we have 21 year-old Giannis with a jump shot.

Do you work 24 hours every day or do you clock off after you're finished with work and head online?
