NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 323 Fighting for Second Place (Daily Chapter)

At the end of February 2004, as the Pistons' trade came to an end and other teams were still patching things up without major deals, ball commentators began to focus on the Western Conference again.

Entering the second half of the game, the Lakers also began to exert their strength. In the first week after the All-Star break, they achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses.

Although they narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers and Warriors in back-to-back games, the Lakers once again showed their dominance when facing the 76ers at home.

88:116, O'Neal and Kobe both continued their good form, clocked in three quarters, and easily defeated their opponents!

In 30 minutes of playing time, O'Neal made 18 of 12 shots and scored a game-high 29 points. Kobe Bryant also scored 18 points on 10 of 28 shots.

艾弗森依旧拼尽全力，但面对湖人队后场组合，出场38分，18中3，罚球10中7，砍下13分6篮板9助攻3抢断1盖帽6失误的数据。

The last time the two teams met, the Lakers were missing Kobe, and Payton was injured and left the game early. Iverson hit hard at the time, hitting 29 of 15 and scoring 38 points!

The backcourt lineup was complete, and Gary Payton and Kobe Bryant completely defeated Iverson.

Before they won the championship, Kobe and Iverson still cherished each other, encouraged each other, and often praised each other in public;

But after winning the championship and falling in the Western Conference semifinals last season, Kobe no longer liked the commentators comparing him to Iverson.

As long as he is in good condition, Kobe will show his strength as a championship defender and give a signal to the outside world:

"Don't compare me to Allen Iverson!"

On February 2, the NBA announced the Player of the Week after the All-Star Weekend:

Dwyane Wade of the Heat and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers successfully won the award.

"Regular season records often don't explain much. I only focus on the team's chemical reaction. Obviously, the Lakers are already on the right path."

Coupled with the support of his good brother Malone in the team, Kobe confidently expressed his stance during the interview:

"You can judge me all you want, but basketball doesn't lie!"

“The atmosphere here is great and the fans support Lee!”

这次拿奖加内特倒没有大声嚷嚷，场均25.6分13.7篮板5.0助攻1.6抢断2.2盖帽2.7失误，数据很好，却被李佑给压制了

On the evening of March 3, at Madison Square Garden, before the game started, witnessed by New York fans, Li You held the Player of the Month trophy and waved to everyone.

The Knicks went 2-10 in February:

Eric Snow glanced at the newbie, and what he said would definitely make Iverson unhappy.

"Coaches always consider other factors when selecting players. Michael Redd is a better player than Iverson this season!"

相比之下科比表现得更为出色，场均38.7分钟，场均拿到31.3分6.3篮板8.3助攻2.3抢断1.0盖帽3.7失误；

He averaged 16.3 shots per game, shooting 59.2% from the field, 2.0 shots from outside the three-point line, 50.0% from three-point range, 8.0 free throws per game, and 83.3% free throw shooting.

Among the players selected for the All-Star Game, Iverson's record is only slightly better than McGrady's, but his data is at the bottom.

The double-double data seems unremarkable, but as a No. 1 position, Li You has a higher shooting percentage than Garnett.

The NBA also announced its Player of the Month for February on this day:

Li You of the Eastern Conference and Kevin Garnett of the Western Conference won the award again.

Due to injuries to the little Knight from time to time, Li You's statistics have improved slightly:

He averaged 19.0 shots per game, shooting 59.6% from the field, and averaged 10.7 free throws per game, shooting 78.1% from the field.

"This is the Lakers team I expect, we played a perfect performance!"

On March 3, the Knicks returned to Manhattan after completing their Western Conference road trip in late February.

They lost to the Mavericks at the beginning of the month, easily defeated the Rockets, Clippers, and Nuggets at the end of the month, and finally lost to the Kings.

Charles Barkley has been "conferred as a god" continuously. This man has always believed that Iverson will gradually stretch his hips. When all the predictions came true, Barkley has become the most knowledgeable football commentator.

Before the game started, the newbies of the 76ers were still secretly lamenting Lee's performance.

Although Iverson has a good reputation among players and has a commendable spirit. As a tragic hero, he inspired a new generation of young players.

On the 29th, 100:83, three quarters, the Lakers easily defeated the Nets, ending the February game with a victory.

After leaving the Bucks, Glenn Robinson began to decline. After joining the 76ers, his physical condition has not changed.

Averaged 17.8 shots per game, shooting 52.3% from the field, 7.7 shots from beyond the three-point line, and 43.8% shooting from the field;

With 38 wins and 20 losses, a wave of winning streak allowed the Lakers to successfully tie the Spurs' record, and by virtue of the relationship between wins and losses, they ranked third in the Western Conference!

Next, the Lakers will continue their road trip. Although Phil Jackson hates Kobe, the team is in excellent shape, and the old man from KFC is not stingy with his words of praise:

But ball commentators only focus on wins, losses and Excel. Iverson's attendance rate has dropped this season, his field goal percentage is less than 40%, and his three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%.

Except for his mediocre three-point shooting output, Wade played with the same efficiency as Li You.

场均出场34.0分钟，场均拿到29.4分4.6篮板11.1助攻3.0抢断0.3盖帽2.1失误。

On the bench of the 76ers, the new player Samuel Dalembert felt the atmosphere and said with some envy:

In the last week of February, Kobe continued his hot streak.

ESPN always gossips about internal affairs of the Lakers. Kobe has had enough of this gossip for a long time. He also knows that the head coach hates him, but so what?

Kobe firmly believed that as long as he performed well, he would naturally win trust and respect.

Such a performance is completely outdated in the eyes of football commentators, and even Milwaukee's sports media will step on it:

The Timberwolves performed well in February, achieving a record of 2 wins and 11 losses, and continued to maintain the first position in the Western Conference.

Glenn Robinson curled his lips secretly. He and Li You couldn't get along because he hated Ray Allen.

The team performed well, and the Los Angeles Times began to cooperate with the loan:

"I will try my best in every game. I spend all my time in the training gym and I will give everything to win."

After the All-Star Weekend, Iverson has been ridiculed for more than half a month, especially after he was hit hard by the Lakers backcourt, and everyone started a new round of crusade.

He averaged 7.9 free throws per game and made 92.6% of his free throws.

"The Lakers dynasty has officially begun!"

The Lakers achieved 3 wins and 0 losses, and Kobe also felt that his back was stiffened after winning the Weekly Award.

Except for back-to-back losses to the Kings, the Lakers did not waste any opportunities, and their record began to climb accordingly.

热火队取得3胜0负，韦德场均出场35.3分钟，场均拿到27.0分4.3篮板3.0助攻0.3抢断1.0盖帽2.7失误；

Philadelphia fans no longer "believe in the process." Iverson's reputation for injuries this season is getting worse and worse. This is not because he often takes his brothers to nightclubs to show off, but mainly because of losing games.

The players know better than anyone that Li You has really taken advantage of this season, and you can feel the decrease in aggression during the game.

But after more than half of the schedule, Li You still leads the scoring, assists, and steals charts.

This performance really exceeded the expectations of many players.

"You can't beat Li You even if you rack up points." This is the current situation in the league.

Every time Iverson came to New York, he kept a straight face and said nothing. In the past, fans would shout "overrated", but as he gradually stretched his hips, many people have ignored him.

No one mocks Iverson anymore, and no one discusses the 76ers anymore. Although he is an All-Star, for New York fans, Iverson just gives away the record.

For tonight's game, the coaching staff actually made a very detailed game plan.

It's not because of how strong the 76ers are, but because after the Lakers beat their opponents, the Knicks also need to show their dominance.

After the start of the first quarter, Li You continued to look for Iverson on both ends of the offense and defense, and also tried his best to fight when the forward group changed defense.

As long as Iverson breaks into the paint, he will be double-teamed immediately.

Even if the defense is out of position, the last line of defense, Gasol and Kurt Thomas, will hit hard and use fouls to limit the opponent.

In the second half of the first quarter, Chris Ford, who was hanging up on the sidelines of the 1ers, saw Li You beginning to put pressure on Iverson from the backcourt, and couldn't help but loudly remind his players:

"Go to the pick-and-roll! Don't wait to catch the ball!"

The head coach reminded loudly that Dalembert hurriedly came to the right wing. After halftime, Iverson, holding the ball in his right hand, waved his left hand to indicate that he did not need to pick and roll.

They all opened up again. Iverson jumped and dribbled, then quickly changed direction with his hips. He switched to his left hand and immediately dropped his shoulders to accelerate. Li You slid and interfered at the same time.

The two bodies collided. Iverson immediately stopped after crossing the three-point line and dribbled down his hips. Li You stopped and interfered again with his left hand.

After switching to his right hand, Iverson was forced to pull the ball backwards. Iverson swayed his shoulders back and then took a large step forward with his left foot, sinking his shoulders again to accelerate the breakthrough.

Li You first slid to engage in physical confrontation, and then took the initiative to give the opponent a certain amount of shooting space. The two struggled to rush towards the lower right side of the basket.

Near the bottom line on the right side, Iverson rushed up in three strides and tried to rely on the defense to shoot an arrow on horseback.

Li You, who just readjusted his steps, was already prepared and took the initiative.

Iverson, who was leaning towards Li You, was knocked backwards. Finally, relying on his core strength, he made a layup shot from the right side near the baseline.

Li You jumped high, so Iverson could only take action based on his feeling. After throwing the ball, he couldn't help but remind his teammates loudly:

"rebound!"

The fingers of Li You's left hand just touched the bottom of the basketball, which made Iverson's throw fail to hit the basket, but fell directly into Dalembert's hands and turned into an assist.

Instinctively taking the basketball, Dalembert immediately wanted to hit the rebound and put the basket on the lower right side of the basket, but Gasol caught him and gave the opponent a solid shot.

"Wow!"

The New York fans at the scene cheered. Gasol took control of the ball and rushed with the ball. The Knicks also ran towards the opponent's half.

Iverson, who was lying on the floor, gritted his teeth and got up. When he saw Li You catching the ball near the midline, he immediately accelerated and chased after him.

The 76ers retreated very quickly. After all, this situation had happened more than once. When they saw the boss, they chased after Li You and Eric Snow did not step forward to double-team.

Watching Li You slow down and wait for Iverson to defend, Kurt Thomas and Gasol stopped near the baseline.

Artest had already run to the right corner, leaning on his knees, ready to rush for rebounds. Hill did the same, stopping on the right wing and not moving. The others simply opened up the space.

Taking advantage of the opponent's pursuit, Li You quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, switched to his left hand, and slightly lowered his body's center of gravity.

When Iverson moved in front of him, Li You changed direction with his crotch and held the ball in his right hand. The opponent interfered with his hand and immediately pulled the ball back while shaking his shoulders.

Subconsciously moving to the left, when Iverson saw Li You step and twist, he quickly slid to the back left in annoyance, while desperately trying to disrupt the rhythm of dribbling with physical confrontation.

Li You, who was accelerating with heavy shoulders, took a long stride. After grabbing half of his body, he smashed through the defense and broke through.

In the paint area directly in front of the basket, Li You first jumped and knocked away Iverson on his side. Dalembert moved and jumped to block the shot, while Li You drifted to the right and back to dodge the defense.

He tilted his body in the air, and when his opponent was falling, Li Youcai took advantage of the situation and completed a fadeaway jumper!

The basketball with a high arc flew over his head. After landing, Dalembert could only turn his head to look at the frame.

"Whoa!" The two-point ball hit the net.

At 16:28, with 3 minutes and 04 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks continued to expand their lead.

Cheers resounded throughout the arena, and the opponent's core players were easily eliminated one-on-one. This is a scene that New York fans like to see.

His chest felt tight after being hit. Iverson glared at Li You, who was shaking his shoulders and looking relaxed. He did not complain to the referee, but continued to attack with the ball head-on after receiving the ball from the baseline.

This time Iverson's forced breakthrough from the left wing was eventually blocked by Li You and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle in time and Iverson was about to take a free throw.

In the live TNT commentary box, Kevin Harlan watched Iverson attacking in several rounds and commented tactfully:

"This is not the best offensive option. Iverson should realize that other players on the 76ers are in good shape tonight, and he should continue to focus on organization as he did in the first half."

Doug Collins seemed to appreciate Iverson's spirit and took the initiative to praise:

"Star players should indeed have such a competitive spirit!"

"Through his ability to defeat his opponents, I see the shadow of Michael Jordan in Iverson!"

"."

This compliment left Kevin Harlan speechless. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Iverson and McQueen had nothing to do with each other.

After making one of two free throws, Iverson had already scored 3 points. In the next few minutes, he continued to hit the iron and led the Knicks to counterattack.

The fans at the scene would boo at the beginning, but when they saw Li You completely locking up Iverson, they felt it was boring.

At 21:36, at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led their opponents by a big score.

Entering March, the Knicks only had 3 games to play in the first half of the month, two of which were against the 5ers.

The schedule is particularly easy, and the coaching staff can also be rotated extensively.

However, in the substitute lineup, Stoudemire has entered the injured list again. Since being diagnosed with potential injuries, the rookie has entered a state of recovery from minor illnesses.

General Manager Glenn Field is worried about major problems with Stoudemire's knees. With no pressure on the record, health has become the first priority.

Grant Hill didn't take the game to heart. He noticed that there were people from the Donkey Party in the front row, and couldn't help turning his head and whispered to Li You:

"The other party seems to have come to see you specially." Li You had long noticed a few people sitting near the front row talking and laughing.

But he didn't care. After Kerry won the primary, the Donkey Party seemed to want to mobilize everything, but it was none of his business.

"I'm just an ordinary basketball player. If you want to donate, I'm willing to donate tens of thousands of dollars."

While drinking the prepared drink, Li You shrugged his shoulders and gave Hill a look. He rarely interacted with politicians in public, and at most he chatted with the mayor of New York.

The stubborn Iverson came on the scene early in the second quarter. Although he got a chance due to his off-peak travel, his shooting touch was really bad tonight and he hit 3 irons in a row.

After the main lineups of both sides returned in the second half of the game, Iverson seemed to have lost his mood and stopped guarding Li You. He was not aggressive on the offensive end and began to pass the ball more.

During the entire half of the game, Iverson finally relied on Li You's three-pointer to create a transition attack and completed his only sports score.

At 35:62, at the end of the half, the outcome was no longer in suspense.

艾弗森11中1，罚球8中5，拿到7分2篮板4助攻2失误的数据。

The All-Star guard kept his head down as he walked toward the tunnel, and even though the New York fans stopped taunting him, Iverson was particularly uncomfortable.

Being trapped by his strength and losing even his black points, it means that he is really going to die.

In the second half of the game, the 76ers' offense continued to misfire. Kenny Thomas and Glenn Robinson supported the team's offense, while Iverson was still working hard under Li You's defense.

At 17:28 in a single quarter, after three quarters, the score reached 52:90.

In a national live broadcast, with such a huge score difference, Kevin Harlan was a little helpless. He had already talked about gossip for a whole section:

"The 76ers, like the Magic, have suffered from injuries this season."

"Iverson and McGrady have experienced serious declines. I appreciate their will and quality, but I still want to advise players not to play with injuries."

Doug Colin talked about Iverson's spirit of never giving up throughout the game. As a result, Iverson almost smashed the basket crookedly. At this time, he really couldn't do it anymore:

"I agree with the point that the Knicks have done a great job managing their injuries, but Knight and Stoudemire have had injuries this season."

"Artest and Hill have not been able to attend at full attendance. D'Antoni and the coaching staff have been controlling the playing time of the main lineup."

"If the 76ers want to continue to compete in the playoffs, they also need to ensure the physical condition of the players."

In the fourth quarter of the game, Iverson sat on the bench with a towel covering his head. He made 4 of 16 shots and 1 of 10 free throws. In the end, he only scored 7 points in the game.

The boss lowered his head and said nothing, and everyone in the atmosphere group did not dare to say a word. Everyone did not even know how to comfort Iverson. The data was so miserable.

On the Knicks bench, Li You took the initiative to glance at the technical statistics. After seeing Iverson's data, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fight from afar, Knicks, win!"

At the end of the game at 78:114, Madison Square Garden was in a state of excitement again. It was a clean and decisive victory that New York fans would never tire of watching.

李佑出场30分钟，18中10，三分线外3中2，罚球4中4，砍下全场最高的26分。

Iverson walked through the player tunnel early. He hadn't shaken hands with Li You for a long time, just like he didn't speak at the All-Star Game. He hated his "mortal enemy" even more.

When Craig Sagel interviewed Li You, he didn't ask the questions he had originally prepared. Iverson was so miserable that he had no interest in adding insult to injury:

"Li, what is the team's plan for the March game? You still have a chance to break the best record in history!"

After winning the game, the Knicks' record reached 56 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the league and leading all the teams behind them.

When he heard about the record issue, Li You naturally told the truth:

"The team's goal is to have a complete lineup and all players back before the playoffs begin."

"Breaking records is naturally a wonderful thing, but we hope to be in excellent physical condition for the playoffs!"

Li You said it easily. After all, the schedule in the first half of the month is really good, and this period of time can just help everyone adjust their physical condition.

With 22 wins and 39 losses, the 76ers have completely fallen behind and have a high probability of missing the playoffs this season. Craig Sagel still asked the usual question after the business exchanges:

"We all know that the 76ers have been affected by injuries this season. Lee, what do you think of Allen Iverson's performance this season?"

When mentioning his old rival, Li You did not mock him, but spoke seriously about the situation:

"It's never easy for small players to gain a foothold in the league!"

"Iverson has performed well this season. He has been fighting injuries. He is a real fighter! I like his attitude towards the game."

3月5号，客场挑战猛龙队的比赛中，加索尔再次爆发，出场36分钟19中14，罚球8中7，砍下35分12篮板5助攻1抢断3盖帽2失误。

35 points is also a career high for Gasol.

猛龙队的克里斯-波什在卡特因伤缺阵的情况下表现得也不错，12中6，拿到20分10篮板1助攻3失误的两双数据。

Compared to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Bosh has not received much attention.

Many fans only learned about this cute new player from Raptors gossip.

Unlike "fake fan" Wade, Bosh is half a fan of Li You. Although he lost, he repeatedly praised Li You's performance after the game:

“We’ve played against each other a few times this season, but I’ve learned a lot from Lee every time.”

"He's so good, he even understands our tactics every turn!"

"I don't know how to describe Lee. I've watched Michael Jordan play, but I haven't played against him."

"In my heart, Lee is the best in history. When he is on the court, he affects the game all the time!"

"."

After the first week of games, the critics no longer care about the Knicks. There are only three games to play in the next week, and the opponents are all weak, and they are destined to win again.

On Sunday night on the 7th, the Knicks challenged the Wizards away from home.

Kwame Brown finally got more playing time this season, but his game state was mediocre and he failed to show his talent.

Arenas' statistics were very good after joining the Wizards, but the team didn't win.

With 19 wins and 41 losses, under the leadership of Arenas, the Wizards seem to have changed little and are basically determined to fish.

At 106:86, the Knicks were in average shape, but their opponent made 20 turnovers. They finally won the game with 3:30 in the third quarter.

Arenas has just arrived in the Eastern Conference this season. He has not been severely beaten many times in the past, and he still hugs everyone after the game.

After some business bragging with Li You, Arenas reluctantly left. He likes to express himself in the spotlight.

Artest was somewhat dissatisfied with Arenas's character of being a "brother" when meeting each other. After returning to the locker room, he complained twice:

"This guy just knows how to express himself. After every game, it's like he didn't lose."

Mutombo looked like I’ve seen many players like this:

"In the league, this is the only way to get along. Business is often business. We have to learn to get along with others. After all, no one can determine their future."

Artest has no plans to leave New York. He also believes that the team will not give up on him. After all, he is a kid from Queens.

The game was won easily. When Li You returned to the locker room, everyone was chatting. Hill was chatting about the NCAA when he suddenly said:

"Duke and UConn have a chance to meet this season"

Li You interrupted the other party. He knew that Hill would definitely say that Duke would win, so he said in advance:

"The University of Connecticut will win the championship again, the third championship in team history. I will go to the finals in early April!"

Everyone booed, and then continued to place bets. Every year during March Madness, everyone would make a small bet. In the past two years, Li You has been giving away money.

On Tuesday the 9th, the Knicks easily defeated the Celtics after returning home.

Losing this game, the Celtics' record came to 28 wins and 37 losses.

After head coach John Carroll took over the team, the management was somewhat wavering.

The current record is a bit embarrassing. If you work hard, you still have a chance to enter the playoffs, but if you don't perform well, you won't be able to compare with those losing teams.

Even if they achieve 8th place, if they encounter the Knicks in the playoffs, there is a high probability of another first-round exit.

But what makes everyone in the Celtics feel outrageous is that it is not an easy matter to miss the playoffs.

87:108, Paul Pierce took the initiative to express his position in an interview after losing:

"We still have a chance to make the playoffs and I won't give up!"

"As for meeting the Knicks in the first round, I don't care about that. I just want to be responsible to the fans. In many cases, winning or losing doesn't matter."

Pierce's statement at the press conference was also meant for management.

Instead of failing at the end of the season, it's better to enter the playoffs and gain a good reputation!

On the night of the 12th, the Knicks played their last game of the week.

Fans who bought tickets to watch the game at the First United Center in Philadelphia were disappointed. Allen Iverson and Big Dog Robinson missed the game tonight due to injuries.

Without two star players, the Knicks had no one to attack with, and the 76ers played much more smoothly.

After the game started, Philadelphia fans were booing Li You. Many people believed that the main reason why Iverson failed to recover was that he lost to Li You too many times.

However, booing could not change the strength of the team. After the home team scored 2 points in the second quarter, the fans at the scene were silent.

It's another three-quarter game, 107:87, and the 76ers are getting closer and closer to fishing.

In the first half of the month, as the Knicks easily won five games in a row, the New York media began to lend money.

Sports Illustrated recently took a group photo of the entire Knicks team. After March Madness is over and before the playoffs, a special issue of the Knicks will be released.

Last year, the entire Knicks team was also featured in Sports Illustrated. For role players, this experience is naturally very wonderful.

The Lakers' schedule in the first half of the month is also relatively easy, but Kobe recently had to go to Denver for a game, which also affected the team's record.

In the Pacific Division, the competition between the Lakers and Kings is very fierce. As long as the two teams can overpower each other, they can win the division championship.

Even if the Timberwolves finally withstand the pressure and get first place in the Western Conference, the division championship can allow the two teams to get the second place.

In this regard, the Spurs, who are getting better and better, suffered a big loss. As long as the Timberwolves can overpower them, no matter what the record is, the Spurs can only finish third.

The competition for MVP has also entered a fierce stage, and it has now become a competition between Garnett and Duncan.

The Knicks are No. 1 in the league, and Li You's statistics lead all players. The MVP of the new season is essentially the competition for the "second man."

Tim Duncan has also suffered some injuries recently. After defeating the Warriors, the Spurs' record reached 44 wins and 22 losses. Although they won, Popovich was still in a bad mood.

On Saturday the 13th, in an interview with sports media, Popovich complained about the problem of the competition system:

"The team with the better record cannot get the corresponding ranking. I don't like this result!"

"In the past few years, everyone has begun to pay attention to data and championships, but they have ignored some issues."

"The competition system is only one aspect. Many times excellent players don't get the attention they deserve. This is a loss for the league!"

"Tim should win the MVP. He is the best big man in the league, but everyone has ignored his performance this season."

Players all chase honors, and Duncan is no exception. He lost the finals in an extremely frustrating way last season, and his thighs were really angry!

In this regard, Popovich could only give him chicken soup. If he had the chance, he would sing praises for Duncan and praise him in front of the media.

The ESPN reporter was originally only paying attention to Duncan's injury problem. After hearing Popovich's complaints, he couldn't help but ask:

"Belonging to the same division, the Timberwolves have a better record than the Spurs!"

"Kevin Garnett seems to be performing better than Duncan this season. He has won the best player for two months."

When it comes to the Timberwolves, Popovich gets angry again. The opponent's salary is much higher than theirs:

"When selecting MVP, the team configuration should also be taken into consideration!"

"Garnett has Cassell and Sprewell next to him, and the Spurs are now a rebuilding team!"

"Leading the rookies to achieve this record, obviously Tim is even better!"

The TNT reporter looked at the agitated Popovich and suddenly said:

"Why don't you talk about the Knicks? Lee is the best player in the league. This season he led the team to a historic record."

"."

When Li You was mentioned, Popovich immediately fell silent. Not only was there a problem with the competition system, but there was also a problem with the selection of the awards.

Automatically ignoring these words, Popovich emphasized again:

"Tim is the best big man in the league! He should get the MVP!"
