I don't know who will be the next "Rockie" Balboa. <br>
<br>
Seriously, its Yao. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sahoops.net/"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RwC7BM4UPN4vSzvW7PLtkWgZAuhj38V0TWfeUgTe5oMC4wVam*gsnDSWBHC8gBmc*VJHFg2ilkI*7kxgMXbp5uqYP9JIkWMH8B4h4FlPcaI/GD-final.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--> </p><i></i>

I movedit for you shen - I think JW will be the ROY though, sorry. <p></p><i></i>

Yao without a doubt.<br>
Never thought this before the season, but you just can't go around this guy now already 2 months in the season.<br>
<br>
He is just unbelievable! <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://nl.msnusers.com/_Secure/0OwD7d!kUbmI41zzLQ6DPI*FYQ3ceK!EAGHsn7Ds1fk822dJP8FoQFBq5*nMDTPoFUQzLb73iIzUWLmz5RhMQODGBigU7lIPm/alamo50.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

No Dejuan Wagner? <p><center><a href=http://pub54.ezboard.com/brednecksbasketballpage><img src=http://rednecksbasketball.com/WA65281.jpg></center></a><br>

I was thinking the same thing. Where's Wagner? But, if it were between those guys, I'd probably pick Amare Stoudemire. <p></p><i></i>

by the end of the season Yao will clearly be the best rookie since Tim Duncan. <br>
<br>
So far I'd probably go with Gooden. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sahoops.net/"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sahoops.net/SCsigBlack.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I voted Yao...He was my preseason prediction....I wouldnt be suprised if Gooden doesnt have a great year as well though..Has any team ever had back-to-back rookie of the year awards? <p></p><i></i>

Where's Butler? Ez Board's polls suck.<br>

Yeah, I think the picks should have been<br>
<br>
Yao Ming<br>
Jay Williams<br>
Dejuan Wagner<br>
Amare Stoudemire<br>
all others<br>
<br>
Of those picks, I still stick with my preseason prediction of Jay Williams, although Yao will give him a nice run for his money - its a long season, we'll see. <br>
<br>
Seriously, I don't think Ginoblli stands much of a chance at this point because by the time he gets back, two rookie of the month awards will already have been decided. That would mean that to win ROY, Ginobili would have to come on strong in the final three months of the regular season when this award is decided. <br>

Where's the love for Caron Butler? <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sahoops.net/"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQDqBOQUv96Q*aAyXJvhC4PpiqY5aClJPVxG2NkCtZhZohfA18sp9cB0Mm2RXo3eDH31HP7*AzJAdc6m90L45YCEuPWDr1AM8aLtyvld1AI/SAmikeyp.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--> </p><i></i>

Yao Ming <br>
<br>
Even I doubted that Yao will succeed in NBA in the offseason. <br>
<br>
IMO, Jay willams, Wagna, Gooden and Amare Stoudemire will make a competition.<br>

Definately Dujuan Wagner. All the others either don't compare numbers wise or like Yao are too inconsistant. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub61.ezboard.com/bsanantoniospurs62937.showUserPublicProfile?gid=biggdrew>BiggDrew</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.sahoops.net/drewspersonalicon.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 12/24/02 11:13:43 pm<br></i>
