I wish to go on the record with my dissent for Rookie of the Year. It's a close call, no doubt -- but if I had a vote it would go for McCoughtry. Harumph. Finis.
If you asked me, KTD is the MVP.
Do I smell the diSTINK bias for Western Conference teams here?
Angel for ROY
Lisa Leslie misses 13 games and beats out Katie Douglas for an All-WNBA Team spot?
Quinn over Langhorne for Most Improved Player?
diSTINK bias doesn't even begin to describe this so-called article.
