2008 NBA Awards Announced
Aside from a few insignificant awards and the NBA’s MVP award, all of the other awards have pretty much been decided. The list includes a number of first time NBA winners, but also features a coach who’s won his 2nd Coach of the Year award. Whether you agree with the list or not, these are the players (& coach) who the voting members chose this year.
Here is a quick summary of the winners:
- Rookie of the Year - Kevin Durant, Seattle Supersonics
- NBA’s 6th Man - Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
- Coach of the Year - Byron Scott, New Orleans Hornets
- Most Improved Player - Hedo Turkoglu, Orlando Magic
- Defensive Player of the Year - Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
The MVP award should come next and is basically a deaheat between the Hornets’ Chris Paul and the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant. It would be the first MVP award for both basketball players and deserving (for either) as well.
