He deserves it. When we play the Lakers, I actually worry about Odom more than anybody. Kobe's tough of course, but we have managed to keep him under control as of late, and force him into some bad shots. Odom is inconsistent, but when he's hittin his jumper he's a tough matchup.
Lamar and Khloe, both are the 6th man on their teams
Psh. Hate this award. Dude should be starting on 98% of the rest of the teams on the league.

Its all good though, the winners of these awards rarely are. Manu Ginobili anyone?

At least Odom just doesn't start because the Lakers have better options for him in the rotation (even though he's better than Artest) lol.But I guess at the end of the day, nobody is really that honored for being the "best sixth man ever" lol, so whatever.

That's why I don't think its really worth the "is this guy really a '6th man'?" debates anymore, I say the NBA's ruling is fine. If he's been on the bench more than he's started for that season, he's a bench player lol.
