Odom started too many games IMO.

He came off the bench more games then he started so he qualifies

I know, it’s just my opinion that the winner should be a true 6th man.

How would someone NOT vote for a Laker, were one available?

Are the ballots online somewhere? I feel the need to know the sportswriter who voted BOSS no. 1.

The top two vote getters were each third on their team’s in minutes/game. Thad and Lou were 5th/6th respectively on the Sixers in min/game.

I don’t understand the whole “6th” man thing if the winners always are starters in all but name only. If you come off the bench and play 34 min/game in place of a token starter who plays 17 minutes, how is that being a 6th man? Or is that what the award is supposed to be. consolation for de-facto starters?

Looking at minutes per game is a great idea for differentiating an all but in name starter.

But historically the award isn’t about that distinction. Manu was 3rd for the SPurs when he won, and started ~ a third of the games he played.

That means Thad got a starting spot on the 6th man team.

So we got Crawford and Terry as our guards, Thad and Big baby as our forwards, and Odom as center.
Lou is 6th man on the 6th man team. Nice.

6th man award has to be one of the whackest awards in sports
