dwillforlife: yes thats right, utah jazz is the kinda team that lacks media attention (probably the only newspaper that regularly reports on the team is The Salt Lake Tribunne)
and actually i would like to add up another reason that causes the lack of attention, which is the stability of the team. I mean comeon Utah Jazz has been a regular playoff contender over the past twenty years, they got a coach that has been here since 1988, they have never had real "star players" like Jordan or Kobe or Tmac or AI, and they never do mega trades...
and the lack of attention has led to the direct consequence that basketball fans all over and even "professional" NBA reporters has never paid much attention to the team. So when it comes to voting for awards-of-any-kind, people tend to ignore the Jazz, not because they are prejudice towards the team or anything, but more because they dont even "remember" the Jazz..
Deron Williams is one of the best point guards in the league now, but he has never even received a "player of the WEEK" award...not to the mention "player of the month" and all-star..
thats why as a Jazz Fan im so upset when Gasol was announced the award yesterday...not because Gasol wasnt good enough for the award... but just that im fed up of the fact that Jazz players are being ignored again..
之前可能因为是我中文表达不太好的原因,导致有些误会。希望你能看一下上面这段,如果你能读懂的话(in a no-offense sense)
yeah...your english is better than ur chinese, i guess...I think I can barely understand it
I am a fob
my english sucks like the way kwame catches the ball
however, i still can not agree with you
even you wanna tell me exactly the same thing in french or whatever language you like to
because ur argument is really hilarious
" The league and media ignored Jazz because D-Will never won a Player of the Week, Player of the Month, or even a spot in all star team?"
That is your conclusion?!
So can I say CP3 didn't get the MVP last year because the league and the media ignored New Orlean Hornets?
or can I say Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest defesive player who never won the Defensive Player of the Year in his career because the media prejudged any single player from the team in th city like Chicago?
I just dont get it...
All I know is that if you did not win the award, there must be one who can make others think he is better than you, that's it...
All I know is that media and most of people rarely draw attention to this team, but that does not mean they did ever "underestimate" this team
Can you just show me some more persuasive evidences that can shut my mouth up
I can not accept any argument lacking of any reasonable evidence
