Marcus Camby Wins NBA's Defensive Player Of The Years Award

Denver Nuggets' 33 twelvemonth old centre Marcus Camby won the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. This is the first clip he is winning the awarding in his 11 twelvemonth professional person career.

Though Camby is happy about winning the award, he rather be celebrating a title win a few calendar months down the line.

Camby is just surprised that he won the awarding but was not selected for the All Star team. He said that he felt in the last couple of old age that he had a good chance of making it to the squad but now with the award, he is hoping to do it to the All Star squad next year.

Camby said that it was a great awarding to be on the All Star squad and he have never been given an opportunity to enjoy that honor.

Camby is the 3rd participant in the last 20 old age to win the NBA's defensive participant awarding after being snubbed for the All Star team.

Camby averaged 3.3 blocks, 11.2 points and 11.7 recoils per game this season. He also exceeds the centres for the figure of steals with an norm of 1.24 steals. Camby received 70 ballots and 431 points from the selecting panel comprising of athletics authors and broadcasters.

Camby also led the conference in blocks last season as well as in 1997-98 season. He is one behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Mark Eaton for the most blocked shot titles.

San Antonio forward David Bruce Bowen came in 2nd with 206 points while his teammate Tim Isadora Duncan came in 3rd with 158 points. Bowen was the runner-up even last twelvemonth when Ben Sir William Wallace won the awarding for the 4th time.
