    Why are sports writers in charge of this? I'd rather it be coaches or guys who are great basketball minds.

    Zach Lowe has got to be the biggest closet Warriors fan. When has he not given the nod to a warriors player in a 50/50 decision?

    Bill Worrell
    Green, Draymond -- GS
    Davis, Anthony -- NOP
    Ariza, Trevor -- HOU

    Bill is so awesome!

    Because it'll be a biased vote.

    Well At the beginning of the season He did pick the rockets to win the most regular season games.

    Is it really that outrageous to pick Draymond? If the voter didn't have Kawhi first, then they picked Draymond.

    Anyway, Kawhi is way more likable than Draymond.

    It's not outrageous at all, but the guy has a serious bias for the Warriors. It wouldn't bother me if he just admitted it but he pretends to be this all knowing impartial analyst of the game and it irks me.

    I know i'm not alone in thinking that.

    He's mentioned on his podcast before that he gets the most hate from rockets, raptors and Blazers fans. So you are definitely not alone.

    Leonard is so shy I don't think he will hold a press conference for winning this award.
