Report: Durant to be Named ROY
According to the Seattle Times, Sonics rookie Kevin Durant will be named the league’s Rookie of the Year on Thursday, beating out Hawks’ rookie Al Horford of Atlanta for the honor.
“Two league sources confirmed Durant outdistanced second-place finisher Al Horford, an Atlanta forward. The sources spoke anonymously because the official announcement is scheduled for Thursday.”
All I keep thinking about is Durant’s fourth quarter dunk at the Garden. Also, check out a video mix of KD to Wu-Tang’s “triumph”

I also think Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola deserves some accolades. Most basketball fans look at the Rockets’ success and just shake their head in amazement. But, from a coach’s standpoint, it’s a joy to watch them play team defense and never, ever take a possession off. Scola was their “glue guy,” and although this could be said for McGrady, Yao, Battier, and Alston, the Rockets would not may not have even been a playoff team without Scola.
His 10.3 ppg and 51.5 FG % were not too shabby either, but it brings up the Ichiro Suzuki dilemma. Should a 28-year old, two-time Spanish League MVP be considered for the Rookie of the Year? What do you guys think?
