First of all i would say this: he led the hornets to
league best and NBAL record 71 wins!he is consistent all year long. his numbers are down compared to last year but only because he gives way to his other teammates especially to someone i think should also be a candidate for Most improved player: Marcus Camby who i thought would only be a defensive presence for my team but he has shown otherwise and has been phenomenal offensively for the team this season and i thought that when i traded my other stars especially Paul i thought that i wouldn't have a very successful season compared to last year but Duncan managed to keep the team perform at a high level and even make NBAL history! Even though duncan's numbers are down come on where would you see this kind of statline? he gives out a
good number of assists for a big man and even when he has camby down low with him his rebound average is still one of the best in the league! and considering his position he might be one of the best big man ball thiefs in the league and not to mention he
leads the league in blocks! sure you can say his ppg is only average compared to the others but its because
he lets others do the scoring for him hence camby happened and you know Duncan can drop 40 or 50 points if he wants to ask those who witnessed it first hand last year and this year.
game 2 of this years 1st round playoffs against houston:
37 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 76% shooting from the best
so you can see that he steps his game up when needed especially when its the playoffs.
So in conclusion i think Duncan deserves the award not only was he great statistically on offense and defense but he has also managed to give one thing that you dont see in the stat sheets which is
make his teammates better like when steve nash did it with the suns back in 2005 IRL. Duncan did it with the hornets this year which resulted to a very spectacular regular season and once again
71 WINS BABY!
