To be perfectly honest, I haven't spent much time thinking about awards season this year. The big one (MVP) seems pretty obvious (LeBron James). It's hard to argue with Gregg Popovich as Coach of the Year. If James Harden doesn't win Sixth Man honors, the world might spin off its axis. Tyson Chandler had his hooks on Defensive Player of the Year for a while -- rightly so -- and Kyrie Irving is a near-lock for Rookie of the Year. The right guys, or at worst extremely credible guys, are winning thus far, so there's really not all that much....Please log in to view the entire post.

Somewhere in Andrew Bynum's bookshelf sits the title that perfectly encapsulates his improvement in the 2011-12 NBA season.
The book, "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell, delves into how "little things can make a big difference," a subject Bynum read at length last season while rehabbing his surgically repaired right knee. Regarding Bynum's development this season, Lakers fans might see that tipping point in various places.
They saw it in his aggressiveness, where his larger post presence ensured a career-high 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds a game. They saw it in the team's pecking order, where Bynum surpassed Pau Gasol as the....Please log in to view the entire post.

| He took a huge jump up offensively this season! But I understand the problem relating to this award. He was already too good last year to be considered for this one. To win this award you almost have to be considered a non-factor, or basically suck on your team the year before. That's certainly not the case. And I'd rather see the jump from good to great too as opposed to getting that award. Individual awards time is such a weird thing in a team sport anyway. There are bigger things to come for Drew. |
