QUOTE OF THE DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"After we lose by 20 or 30 points, we definitely can't be laughing and joking around."
Kobe Bryant
Damian Lillard was only a two-star recruit coming out of high school.
— Rivals.com
Q: Who were the other two players who scored more than 30 points on more than 60 percent shooting over five consecutive games?
A: Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone

THE MORNING BREW The Kansan's midseason NBA awards
As evidenced by the litany of NBA players at the Kansas victory over Texas, the NBA has reached its All-Star weekend. This is exciting to NBA players for two reasons. First, they get time off to spend with their families and take a much-needed rest. Second and more importantly, journalists release their coveted midseason awards. Without further ado, here are the University Daily Kansan NBA Midseason Awards.
Most Valuable Player:
LeBron James, Miami Heat
Who else could win this award? James has the luxury of being surrounded by immense talent, but that does not discount that his statistics have been unreal. Through six consecutive games, James scored more than 30 points and
James
shot more than 60 percent from the field. These kind of numbers elevate him to a level few have reached before. His efficiency is off the charts, and he is developing a 3-pointer. This is very bad news for other teams that do not want to see the Heat repeat.
Rookie of the Year:
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
Coach of the Year:
would translate from tiny Weber State University to the NBA, but his 18.3 points and 6.5 assists per game dispelled any of those notions. Lillard has the quickness to get around defenders and the toughness to finish in traffic, and he will only get better.
Lillard
Coach on the rear:
Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich
Gregg Popovich marched into Miami without 'Tony Parker, Manu Ginobell and Tunc Duncan played the Heat to within five points, and angered NBA overlord David Stern in the process. These facts alone should
Popovich
win him Coach of the Year. However, it's the fact that Popovich could start the cast from "The Big Bang Theory" and have them competing that solidifies his spot here. Every year, experts think the Spurs are going to regress, and every year, Popovich has them moving forward.
Surprise Team:
Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose is so fast, if he were in the Looney Tunes, wed all be enjoying a nice Roadrunner buffet right now. And somehow, the Bulls have managed to go 30-22 without him, good for fifth in the Eastern Conference. This year was seen as a lost year without Rose, but if he can make
it back for the playoffs, the Bulls will be a very tough matchup for the elite teams. If he doesn't, the Bulls can be proud that they overachieved this year and can come back even stronger next year.
Most Disappointing Team:
Los Angeles Lakers
If I wrote about any team other than the Lakers, I would be demoted to covering the pickup basketball games behind McCollum Hall. The Lakers have been nothing but a disaster this season. If Karl Rove and Paris Hilton went out on a date, they would have more chemistry within five minutes than the Lakers have had all season. This was the team that was expected to challenge the Miami Heat for a title, but instead, they look more and more like a lottery team every day.
