Tyreke Evans to Win Rookie of the Year

If you like NBA
awards, then today is your Christmas. We have another big bit of hardware-themed news.

Sactown Royalty's Tom Ziller has learned that Tyreke Evans will receive the Rookie of the Year later this week, likely on either Thursday or Friday.

This was one of the few awards this season to boast a legitimate race, but Evans deserves the trophy. He became only the fourth rookie in history to average 20 ppg, 5 apg, and 5 rpg for an entire season, joining the select group of Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James. He stood out in this class -- and among rookies in general -- for his impressive strength, standing as perhaps the strongest first-year guard to enter the league in the last decade.

Stephen Curry and Brandon Jennings were also popular choices for the award, but they couldn't best Evans. Curry put up some extremely impressive stats for the Warriors, especially late in the season, but Golden State's strong PR push (including personally calling voters to make the case) didn't succeed. And while Jennings had his 55-point game in November and was the only one of the trio to make the playoffs, his poor shooting doomed his campaign.

It's also worth noting that neither player has the presence of Evans, who firmly established himself as a star this season. The Kings now have someone who they can clearly get behind as a franchise player, the type of guy they've missed since Chris Webber (no offense to Kevin Martin).

This turned out to be a solid rookie class, but one player stood above the rest throughout the entire season. No one could match Evans' production, and this award is richly deserved.

21st Century Athlete Awarded ROY
stardate: 2358.42
by Prin Pirak, Cardassian Special Envoy

Long before the Klingon Empire, the Federation, or any of the other political entities commonly known today, there was a dynasty established in the tiny Old Earth farming town of Sacramento. Centuries later, that dynasty is being honored.

Two meter tall human athlete Tyreke Evans was announced today as the winner of the 2009-2010 National Basketball Association Rookie of the Year Award.

Basketball, a prominent 20th-21st century sport involving the bouncing of a spherical shaped air bladder, received an enormous popularity boost in the Sacramento Region with the arrvial of Evans as a mere 20 year old (Earth standard). Within a few short Earth years, Sacramento had conquered the National Basketball Association -- a regional sporting association containing the bulk of Old Earth's best air bladder bouncers .

Historians who have examined the digital archival evidence point to Evans as perhaps the premiere basketball athlete of his generation, and one of the best before the sport became dominated by Trilarians in the early 22nd century. They point especially to his ability to "drive" the ball to the basket, despite only having two arms and two legs and living in the pre-cybernetic age.

Morbo congradulates the puny human on this meaningless victory. May death come quickly to his enemies.
