In much eager anticipation, DJ HO has decided who really deserves the hardware for this 04-05 NBA season. Yes some of the choices may be controversial but they are justified. And you know the rules:
1. DJ HO is always right
2. If DJ HO is wrong, see rule #1.
MVP = Allen Iverson.
Yes, I know that everyone else is gunning for Steve Nash. But firstly if I was playing with Amare, Matrix, JJ and Q-Rich, I'd prolly average 15 assists as well. AI has to bring it every night, has a much crappier supporting cast, have managed to scrape into the playoffs, and it can't be easy being the only scoring option on a team. Plus I can't give an award to someone that can't play D.
Rookie of the year = Emeka Okafor
Sixth Man = Ben Gordon.
Most Improved Player = tough one. It could go to a star that has improved to superstar status (Lebron, D-Wade), or a guy that's comeback from the wilderness (Grant Hill) but I'll give it to my man Primoz Brezerc. PB has been force fed minutes but he's proven that he's legit and what he's capable of and y'all better watch out.
Coach of the year = 3 possible nominations. George Karl, quickly turned around the Nugg's season in to a huge winning streak, or Scott Skiles with the Bulls in the playoffs 7 years A.J (after Jordan) or Nate McMillan. I've got to say McMillian since his team didn't change that much but the sonics are deep in the playoffs and he's manage to squeeze so much out of Reggie Evans and Danny Fortson.
Dunk of the year = Ooohhh too many choices. I could go with the Josh Smith alley-oop over K-mart in the dunk contest or Jamal Crawford self-oop after throwing up a layup too hard but I'll go with Vince Carter's stunning off the backboard cram whilst in traffic coz it was so crowd-pleasing, shocking, spur of the moment-ish. And had me going ooh and aah and hitting the rewind like crazy.
Incident of the year = Well I think this is unanimous. Ron Artest going beserk after getting hit with a beer would have to qualify.
Best hairstyle = Gotta love the fro. Josh Childress of the hawks and Ben Wallace are bringing it back the old-skool styles.
So if agree or even disagree, holla back at ya boy.
I Hired a Team of Secret Shoppers to Find Out How Businesses Were Opening
in Dallas. It’s Not Good.

I wanted to get an understanding of what opening meant to businesses around
Dallas. Were they opening? What precautions were they taking? Were

your "unanimous" decision on incident of the year is ironically similar to David Stern's "unanimous" suspension decision, considering both matters were deicided by a panel of 1.
As for hair styles, how could you not show love to the Spree and Troy Hudson look of pig-tails in their braids/dreads. That was gold baby! The afro is so played out. Those guys gotta at least get votes for their originality.
As for MVP, I think you may not be giving Nashty enough props. Yeah, sure, hes got great athletic finishers and outside shooters, but it takes great skill to get the ball in the right spot every time. With Nash out of the lineup, they were an average team. With a pretty similar team at the start of last season with Marbury running point, they were not a good team. With Barbosa running the show they were worse. With Nash they are awesome. He may not be your pick for MVP, but he deserves more repsect than you are giving.
Iverson still hasn't learn to play with others. Other than throwing sick oops to AI2 or dishing to Kutcher for 3, you can't say he makes his team mates better. He couldnt adjust to accomodate C-Webb, so he's not an MVP in that regard. His numbers look good, but there's more to being an MVP than putting up numbers.
Actually if you think Spree's hairstyle is funky, then you've got to check out Danny Fortson's as well. That pigtail stuff is weird, in fact you might say gay. I can't vote for that.
As for Nash, I agree that without him the suns would be much worse. however, I still think AI deserves it ahead of Nash. The only reason that the sixers are in the playoffs are becoz of iverson. Take him away and there are definently a lottery team.
And i prolly forgot to give special mention to Lebron as well, who I predict will be DJ HO's MVP next year.
For my man C-webb, give him some time and he'll bring back that triple dip flavour.
The only reason the Suns are in the playoffs is Nash. Nash made the players around him better. AI only makes himself better.
Coach of the Year? Scott Skiles. Taking the worst ranked team for 7 years straight and turning them into playoff contenders is a huge feat. The Bulls may not go all the way but they've definitely proved something. If you look at all the other teams in the playoffs they have at least one superstar / allstar; Chicago has none.
