To answer the previous thread: Yes, I think he legitimately will be considered for MVP if the Jazz continue their ways...and I think Sloan will make a serious run at coach of the year. Call me crazy...I've already heard talk of it in media circles.

Beat me to it! Grats to D-Will. Great to see him getting some recognition.

LOL...I just made a thread in general section.

A great month of November for the team but Deron was so clutch in almost all the games.

D-WILL is the man. When Deron was drafted some of the scouts were predicting Williams to be a multiple MVP winner. As he is starting to show.

Very nice, Dirk was also deserving, but glad they went with our guy.

Good thing the Mavs game was played in December, or I think Dirk would have won that.

Anyway, way proud of DWill for starting the season out like a crazed beast. I hope he keeps it up!
