Most Valuable Putz

What a stupid decision

I have always believed that in order to be the MVP, your team would have to advance farther than the first round of the playoffs.

I know why he won the award, it was because the balloting was completely finished before the Mavericks were unceremoniously bounced from the playoffs by the upstart Golden State Warriors. To be fair, this is why the NHL awards are handed out after the Cup has been won. It is probably the only thing that the NHL does right.

To be fair, Disco Dirk is a great player- he just has a really thin neck in the playoffs, if you know what I mean. He was totally useless in the playoffs. Disco Dirk does not, however, have the same leadership or ability to change the game that Nash or Shaq has. Christ, I would even vote for Kobe before this clown. Dirk should win "best shooting forward who can compliment other great players" award.

For those you keeping score- this will be the fourth year in a row that the MVP of the league didn't win the championship. Tim Duncan being the last to get both a ring and this thing.

By the way, my doubles to birdie ratio is still positive (five over the weekend compared to three doubles). The official tally begins May 17th.
