A bit delayed but....

Congratulations to Marcus Camby!

Camby won the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award yesterday, and deservingly so. The guy hasn't had the respect he deserves the past couple seasons. He has pretty much stayed healthy and puts up some sick numbers on the defensive end. He definitely should get more consideration from coaches and whomever to be on the All-Star Team.
