M.V.P.
Earlier this week I was voted M.V.P. , Guard of the year, and Import player of the year.(http://www.eurobasket.com/Belgium/basketball.asp?NewsID=159273) I am very happy to receive the award and thanks to the people who voted. The M.V.P. award has always perplexed me because what is the criteria for voting for M.V.P.? Do you vote for the best player (based on ability)? The player who has had the best stats (leading scorer or rebounder)? Or do you vote for the best player on the best team? When I was younger and watched guys on a team get the award I would always hear them say “I would like to thank my teammates and coaches” I thought to myself they are just saying that because that is what people want to hear. As years have gone by I realise how true that is. Coaches put you in the best situation to make you and the team successful and teammates help you achieve goals and win games. Have you ever seen an M.V.P. award given to a player on a bad team? Never…. So now I would like to thank my coaches, teammates and the great Bree fans.
