    It is cool that they both get an award, but it really shows how strong that UCONN team was.

    How was Dwight Howard not in 2nd place in the finishing?

    Doesn't matter, I suppose. The 2004 rookie class is RIDICULOUS, just like I told you all a year ago.

    ATL- the reason was in Chicago, The Bulls had a resurgences and a main part of it had to do with Gordon.

    The impact was immediate, not only for Emeka Okafor but also for the Charlotte Bobcats and the city of Charlotte.

    On Tuesday, about 24 hours before his selection as the NBA’s 2004-05 got milk? Rookie of the Year became official, Okafor was already getting a taste of just how important this award would be to everyone involved. One by one his teammates began calling as word of an impending announcement began to spread. He got similar reactions from the fans in Charlotte.
