Oh Snap! Roy wins ROY

I haven't been this shocked since it was revealed Howard K. Stern wasn't little Danielyn's father. Boy did that one throw me on my ass. Anyway, as you may or may not have heard, Brandon Roy was named Rookie of the Year, which we pretty much knew was going to happen ever since draft night when he entered the league as the most NBA-ready prospect. Remember all those "Draft the Stache" supporters who wanted Adam Morrison in a Blazer uniform? Remember all those who criticized KP for taking on Raef's contract in order to move up to take Roy, and then paying the T-Wolves a couple million to swap picks to ensure Roy would be in the Pacific Northwest? Remember? Well, they were wrong. It would have been unanimous too if not for some homer from Toronto voting for Bargnani. Oh well. We'll take it.

By the way, Jason Quick AKA the Association's best beat writer did a great breakdown of Roy's late game heroics. Check it out here.
