[NBA.com] David Aldridge picks Aaron Brooks for MIP

Melechesh · Apr 12, 2010

This award has lost its credibility the year Bobby Simmons won it. Major props to Brooks though. He's been a pleasant surprise for me. I've always enjoyed watching this guy weaving through defenders making tons of difficult shots in a variety of ways. Consistency and court awareness is what he needs to work on. Also I've noticed Brooks has becomed a little too dribble-happy for my taste. Rick Adelman's system is all about making quick decision. Brooks should try to trust his teammates with the ball a bit more.

NO! I do not agree with his reasoning. The most improved player should be the player who actually improved the most. The only exception should be injury. Otherwise the player who increased his stats and helped his team with his improvement the most should be MIP Simple as that. There many subjectives like increased stats due to another players injury and more playing time for the MIP. It would be unfair to disqualify someone for that yet certainly their improvement came strictly from more minutes.

If you start trying to say this guy doesn't deserve it because he was suppose to be good than you make it a totally different award. MOST SURPISING PLAYER. Certainly Brooks is in the running for that. ANd they could also have MOST SURPRISING ROOKIE. Budinger would be in the running along with Dejuan Blair.

Are how about MOST OPPORTUNIST PLAYER! That player who was given an opportunity for whatever reason and seized the opportunity the most. Mcgrady would lose that award.

Are what about MOST WITH LESS Award. Certainly Scola could qualify for that. Or what about MOST VALUABLE PLAYER who didn't make the AllStar Game or playoffs. Brooks and Scola.

Are how about MOST IMPROVED PLAYER AFTER A TRADE. Martin might qualify.

The point is you would need hundreds of awards if you are going to be so subjective. You can't disqualify Kevin Durant because you expected him to improve, that is stupid. If you do that you might as well rename the award MIP Who ISN"T BEING CONSIDERED FOR MOST VALUABLE PLAYER!

AB is starting to put it all together and is now one of the elite point guards in this league. He will be our #1 option next year. So yeah, he's improved.
