Posted by Brett on 02/01/2010Frank Hughes at SI.com says Gerald Wallace finally gets due recognition:
You could make the argument that there has not been an All-Star like Charlotte's Gerald Wallace in the last 20 years. And not because he is the first Bobcats player in franchise history to make the team.Mark Travis at ButTheGameIsOn.com talks about how Stephen Jackson has helped the Bobcats win - Stephen Jackson has helped shape the Bobcats as a contender:
Think about it: In the past two decades, how many players have created a balanced resume -- one solid enough to garner an All-Star nod -- out of scrappiness and hustle? By my count: zero.
After struggling to fit in during his first few games, Jackson has come on in the past two months of play, scoring 22 points a game on 43% shooting with five boards and three assists a contest. Jackson is still susceptible to having off nights shooting the ball, but he has become a nice fit within the offense, getting to the basket to finish at the rim when his shot isn't falling.Rick Bonnell at the Charlotte Observer reports: Larry Brown is the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month.
