They don't give this one anymore - a few guys won it for recovering from drug problems and the NBA didn't want that kind of attention.

Well deserved. 

Too bad he won't be playing next round.

If that award existed still it has to be Jeff Green.

This always just goes to a starter that just happens to come of the bench.  It's kind of a strange award these days.

While I know what you mean by "a starter who comes off the bench," isn't that exactly the point of the Sixth Man?

And, furthermore, who was a better sixth man this  year than JR?

You know what would be a really strange award?  The Fifth Man award, given to a bench player that just happens to start.  I nominate Willie Green.

... well wouldn't a starter level player who comes off the bench be the best bench player in the league?  Seems straightforward.

Jordan Crawford received one first place vote. Want to bet that person wanted to vote for Jamal Crawford instead?

What about Greg Smith (also known as "who's that guy starting for the Rockets?")

Thought he deserved it. Funny how often this award has recently gone to shoot first and foremost players/chuckers that end up having a hot season. Ben Gordon, JR Smith, Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry, Leandro Barbosa.

Me, I like the player coming off the bench that is having the best all around season helping their team, than one of these type players who is mostly about scoring and just having a hot shooting year. The Lamar Odoms, James Harden and Manu Ginobillis of the world.

I can't believe a guy like Tiago Splitter never gets consideration or someone like Ryan Anderson didn't win this year(probably because he is on a losing team).
