Texas's Kevin Durant Wins 2007 Naismith Trophy TEXAS’S KEVIN DURANT WINS 2007 NAISMITH TROPHY Longhorn Star Becomes First Freshman Ever To Win The Award ATLANTA (April 1, 2007) – Kevin Durant, the University of Texas multi-talented freshmen phenom, was named the 2007 Naismith Trophy Men’s College Player of the Year presented by AT&T, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today. Durant accepted the trophy at the National Association of Basketball Coaches’ “Guardians of the Game” Awards Show in Atlanta, site of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Durant becomes the first freshman in the history of the award to claim the honor. Of the 38 previous winners, 24 were seniors, eight were juniors and six were sophomores. He was presented the Naismith Trophy by Atlanta Tipoff Club Chairman Jim Williams and AT&T Wireless Services’ Chief Marketing Officer Marc Lefar. The Naismith Trophy is given annually to the men’s and women’s college players of the year and is the most prestigious national award in college basketball. The other Naismith Trophy finalists were Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina, Acie Law IV of Texas A&M and Alando Tucker of Wisconsin. Durant also will be honored at the Naismith Awards banquet April 5 in Atlanta. Durant was selected by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s board of selectors – a collection of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators from around the country – and the fans. Through AT&T’s wireless text messaging, fans accounted for an unprecedented 25% of the board of selectors’ overall vote for the third straight year. The results were certified by the accounting firm of Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, LLP. “Kevin has enjoyed an incredible season, not only with personal success but in how he helped elevate his team,” said Gary Stokan, Atlanta Tipoff Club president. “To think he accomplished everything as a freshman is just all the more impressive.” In his rookie season, the 6-9 swingman became the first freshman to earn National Player of the Year honors from the NABC. The only unanimous choice to The Associated Press All-America first team, Durant also became the first freshman to garner Big 12 Conference Player of the Year accolades. He led the league in scoring (25.8 ppg), rebounding (11.1 rpg) and blocked shots (67). Durant is the only player in the country to rank in the Top 10 nationally in both scoring (fourth) and rebounding (fourth), and he finished second nationally in double-doubles (20). He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record (12-4 Big 12) and a No. 11 ranking in the final AP poll. Durant set the school and Big 12 single-season scoring mark (903 points) and became just the second freshman in NCAA history to top the 900-point plateau (965 by Chris Jackson, LSU, 1988-89). “AT&T is proud to give the fans a voice in determining the winner of the Naismith Trophy, and the fans helped choose a very deserving recipient,” said Lefar. “Kevin Durant had a fantastic season. Despite being just a freshman, he quickly distinguished himself as the best player in college basketball.” -more- Naismith Men’s Winner/Page 2 “I’ve said many times this weekend that I firmly believe Kevin was the best player in the country this year," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "But what I appreciate more about Kevin is that he is the ultimate team player and a genuine person. To see him win the Naismith Trophy is very special, both for Kevin and for our basketball program.” Durant is just the third player from the Big 12 conference to take home the Naismith Trophy (T.J. Ford, Texas, 2003; Danny Manning, Kansas, 1988). Last year’s Naismith Trophy winner was J.J. Redick from Duke University. For more information, visit www.naismithawards.com.

  • Lebron, Stephen and the Essence of Florida Non-Competes Published May 18, 2017
    LeBron, Stephen and the Essence of Florida Non-Competes Published May 18, 2017 As this blog post goes to press, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics just began their series to determine which team will face the winner of the series between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs. To the surprise of very few, the Stephen Curry-led Warriors are leading the Spurs in the series and are widely expected to return to the NBA Finals. The LeBron James-led Cavaliers are expected to defeat the Celtics. (New Englanders widely disagree with this prediction, although the first-game blowout suggests the Cavaliers are playing with a champion’s confidence.) A Cavaliers series victory could set up a rematch of the pre-season division favorites. You may wonder how basketball rivalries and the NBA playoffs relate to non-competition agreements Florida. It’s simple. Both Cleveland and Golden State loaded their teams with talent to out-perform the competition. Cleveland added LeBron James and Kevin Love to join Kyrie Irving. Together, the three of them form a consistent and formidable foundation for the Cavaliers’ success. Golden State pulled off perhaps an equally impressive coup. With the possibility of an immediate championship, Golden State lured Kevin Durant away from adoring fans (and away from NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook) in Oklahoma City. Under the NBA rules, once a player is eligible for trade, there is very little that a team can do to stop that player from leaving to join a team that he prefers. Usually higher salaries incentivize players to move.

Favorite A&M Memory: I interned with The Eagle during my senior year at A&M, and one of my first assignments was to interview the “new” Reveille and her handler.

  • Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award
    Basketball Hall of Fame Names Twenty Point Guards to Watch List for 2021 Bob Cousy Award Starting Five Fan Voting Presented by Dell Technologies to go Live on Friday, November 6 Springfield, Mass. (Nov. 2, 2020) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the 20 watch list candidates for the 2021 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. Named after Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy, the annual honor now in its eighteenth year recognizes the top point guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. “Since 2004, the Hall of Fame has had the honor of bestowing the Bob Cousy Award on the best point guards in the collegiate game,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. “The list is comprised of many outstanding student-athletes and we know the fans are very excited to see them take the floor. Starting Five Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will allow fans to support their favorite players throughout the season and eventually play a part in helping us to select our winner. We greatly appreciate the support of Dell Technologies, the fans, our selection committee and the namesake of the award, Mr. Bob Cousy.” Bob Cousy played for Holy Cross from 1946-1950 winning an NCAA Championship in 1947. He was named a Consensus First-Team All-American in 1950. His success continued at the professional level as a six-time NBA Champion (1957, 1959-1963), NBA Most Valuable Player (1957) and 13-time NBA All-Star (1951-63).
