Larry Brown deixa o Sixers

Pensando em voltar a ser treinador, Brown demitiu-se hoje do cargo de vice-presidente executivo do time da Philadelphia

 

Pensando em voltar a ser treinador de uma equipe de basquete, Larry Brown demitiu-se hoje do cargo de vice-presidente executivo do Philadelphia 76ers.

 

Brown trabalhava na franquia desde a temporada passada. Segundo o presidente do Sixers, Ed Stefanski, seu colega nasceu para ser técnico.

 

Joe Glass, agente do treinador, não confirmou se seu cliente está negociando com alguma equipe da NBA ou da NCAA. Segundo ele, Brown não se importaria em dirigir um time universitário.

 

Como treinador, a última equipe que Brown dirigiu foi o New York Knicks. Na temporada 2005/06, o time nova-iorquino fez uma péssima campanha (23 vitórias e 59 derrotas) e o técnico foi demitido.

 

Vale lembrar que Larry Brown é o único treinador da história da Liga que já levou sete equipes diferentes para a fase de playoffs. E também o único a ser campeão por um time universitário (Kansas, em 1988) e por um time da NBA (Detroit Pistons, em 2004)

Why not? Se o Riles quiser abandonar o cargo de treinador, este era bom. :)

Suns’ Hill Wins 2007-08 NBA Sportsmanship Award

 

 

NEW YORK, April 25, 2008 – Grant Hill of the Phoenix Suns is the recipient of the Joe Dumars Trophy presented to the 2007-08 NBA Sportsmanship Award winner, the NBA announced today.

 

Hill, a 12-year veteran and the recipient of the 2004-05 Sportsmanship Award, was one of six divisional winners which included Detroit’s Antonio McDyess, Houston’s Shane Battier, Portland’s Brandon Roy, Toronto’s Chris Bosh and Washington’s Antawn Jamison. This marks the first time that a player has received the award more than once.

 

The NBA will donate $25,000 on behalf of Grant Hill to HopeKids, a non-profit organization based out of Phoenix which provides ongoing events and activities along with a support community for children with cancer and other life-threatening medical conditions to send the message that hope can be a powerful medicine.

 

The NBA will donate $10,000 each to the divisional winners’ charities of choice: America Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts on behalf of McDyess; The Giving Fund on behalf of Battier; the Lenny Wilkens Foundation, which believes that every child deserves access to quality healthcare and the opportunity to receive a competitive education, on Roy’s behalf; The Toronto Raptors Foundation on behalf of Bosh; and Washington Sports and Entertainment Charities, Inc. to benefit local initiatives in the Washington, D.C. area on Jamison’s behalf.

 

For the fourth consecutive year, NBA players voted on this award, with eleven points given for each first-place vote, nine points for each second-place vote, seven points for third, five points for fourth, three points for fifth and one point for each sixth place vote received. Each team nominated one of its own players for this award, then former NBA players Mike Bantom, Eddie Johnson, Tom “Satch” Sanders, Kenny Smith and Steve Smith, the 2000-2001 Sportsmanship Award recipient, selected the six divisional winners.

 

The annual award reflects the ideals of sportsmanship – ethical behavior, fair play and integrity – in amateur and professional basketball, a key focus of the leagues Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA grassroots youth basketball program. The trophy is named for former Detroit Pistons guard and Hall of Famer Joe Dumars, the award’s first recipient.

 

Following is a list of this year’s voting totals and all-time winners of the NBA Sportsmanship Award:

Turkoglu é o jogador que mais se desenvolveu na temporada

Ala do Magic confirma o favoritismo e recebe o prêmio nesta segunda

 

O ala Hedo Turkoglu, do Orlando Magic, será confirmado nesta segunda-feira como o jogador que mais evoluiu na temporada 2007-2008. A informação é de um jornal de Orlando, que confirmou a marcação de uma conferência de imprensa por parte da diretoria da franquia para fazer o anúncio nas próximas horas.

 

Há sete anos na Liga, Turkoglu jamais foi estrela nos times por onde passou. Somente agora, em Orlando, após a saída do astro Grant Hill do time, o turco enfim explodiu. Suas médias na época foram de 19.7 pontos, 5.8 rebotes e 5.0 assistências, se configurando como segundo jogador mais importante da equipe, atrás apenas do pivô Dwight Howard.

 

Hedo Turkoglu é o quarto jogador da história do Orlando Magic a ganhar o Most Improved Player. Antes, Scott Skiles, em 1990-1991; Darrell Armstrong, em 1998-1999 e Tracy McGrady, em 2000-2001, foram agraciados com o prêmio.

Hedo Turkoglu Wins Most Improved Player Award

 

 

NEW YORK, April 28, 2008 – Hedo Turkoglu of the Orlando Magic is the winner of the 2007-08 NBA Most Improved Player Award presented by Kia Motors, the NBA announced today. The annual award is presented to a player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons.

 

Turkoglu received a total of 380 points, including 61 first-place votes, from a panel of 125 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. The Memphis Grizzlies’ Rudy Gay finished second with 167 points (23 first-place votes) followed by LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers with 128 points (nine first-place votes). Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third place vote received.

 

As part of its support of the Most Improved Player Award, Kia Motors will donate a brand-new 2009 Kia Borrego seven-passenger SUV on behalf of Turkoglu to a grassroots program of the Parramore Kidz Zone, an initiative which provides positive, preventative programs for local youth in Orlando. The Orlando Magic made a previous $250,000 pledge to this program. Kia Motors will present a Borrego to the charity of choice of each of the four year-end award winners in 2008 as part of the “The NBA Performance Awards Presented by Kia Motors.”

 

The eight-year NBA veteran started every game for the Magic and averaged career highs in scoring (19.5 ppg). – nearly eight points above his career average (11.7 ppg) -- rebounding (5.7 rpg) and assists (5.0 apg). Turkoglu shot .400 from three-point range and .829 from the free throw line. The 6-10 forward earned two Eastern Conference Player of the Week nods (Jan. 27 and Feb. 3), and was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for games played in April. Last season, Turkoglu averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

 

The 2007-08 NBA Most Improved Player of the Year Award presented by Kia Motors is part of a series of on-court performance awards called “The NBA Performance Awards Presented by Kia Motors.” The awards, which are part of a multi-year marketing partnership between Kia Motors America and the NBA, also include the Most Valuable Player, Sixth Man Award, and Defensive Player.
