本季最佳防守球員:Marcus Camby
Marcus Camby stayed healthy and in the Denver Nuggets' everyday lineup this season, and now he's about to be recognized as the NBA's top defensive player for 2006-07.
The Nuggets' center will be named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, The Denver Post is reporting on its Web site. The official announcement is expected Friday afternoon.
Camby, an 11-year veteran, averaged a league-best 3.3 blocked shots, 1.2 steals and a double-double -- 11.6 rebounds and 11.2 points.
Camby breaks Ben Wallace's stranglehold on the award. Wallace, the Chicago Bulls' center, won the past two and four of the past five as a Detroit Pistons.
It wasn't Camby's best defensive season statistically, but the strength of those numbers overall put him alongside Dikembe Mutombo (1995) as the only Nugget to be named defensive player of the year.
"It would be the greatest award I've received, other than college player of the year [at the University of Massachusetts in 1996]," Camby told The Post in a telephone interview Thursday. "There are so many great people that won the award."
NBA commissioner David Stern is expected to give Camby the award prior to Game 3 Saturday night against San Antonio in Denver, The Post reports. |
