Lamar should get most improved IMO he's stepped it up and is a great 3rd option with his skill set. Honorable mention to Sasha... just really irks me he does it in a contract yr.....

Bynum should be most surprising for good/bad reasons... drew has stepped it up and has surprised everyone with how quickly he developed and it's surprising everyone how badly the initial injury and recovery time estimates were.

I think the best play has to go to the kobe walton odom play, as much as Arizas dunk fired me up particularly against the suns, that trio play should undoubtedly be in the top plays of the season, Ariza wont be.

Nice post tho.

I would give Kobe every award, maybe give everyone else honorable mention.

I agree with every award. Someone have a clip of Ariza giving Grant Hill some chin nuts?

Nice read, but if the article isn't yours, you have to stick to the 3-paragraph limit, thanks.

Eh?

Odom's contract year isn't until next season, and he's had better seasons with the team in previous years.

Is it impossible to say something good about Odom without a negative?
