JJ deserves every acolade possible right now. It's not just the points either, he has also been fantastic defensively.

I'm happy for JJ. While he's still dealing with an extensive amount of pressure I feel Mike Bibby has helped very much, and even some of the rest of the Hawks have taken some of the pressure off JJ. I hope Josh Smith can demand a double team more next season.
