sam's right...

the nba is so pc...

that's why ron artest and not ben wallace was named defensive player of the year...

ron artest may have been the most improved... but i would still want ben wallace as a defender over ron artest on my team anyday... his improvement on the offensive end is a nice touch, but it shouldn't come into play judging a player's defensive prowess...

the only reason he was picked is cause he's a guard, and many ppl think a big man who doesn't try to shoot like ben wallace is boring... don't believe me? in a poll, ppl think the best matchup in the nba is kobe on tmac, over shaq on yao, over duncan on kg... ppl like offense... not to mention rick charlisle constantly advocating ron artest... you think larry brown's been spending his time advocating ben wallace? let the skills speak for themselves.

i would love to see spurs on pistons for the nba finals, or twolves on pacers...
