The Phoenix Suns enter the NBA playoffs as the favorite to win the championship, but they still feel disrespected. Are they being overlooked as the front-runner?
"Obviously I want that, but control what you can control," said Bridges, who didn't make an All-Defensive team last year. "Even if I don't win it, it doesn't define who I am. I guard everyday and my teammates and coaches know that. That's all I can really say."
"If all he's done all this season ain't spoke enough… something going for him is that he plays every night," Paul said."We talk about requirements and what not for awards and all that… I don't want to hear anything about no stats, no percentages. The eye test: The man plays every single night."
Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas said the"best record leading scorer has always been part of the criteria," but Booker suggested it was personal,Booker has continually proven that any slight only adds fuel to his fire. Following a clash with the Toronto Raptors mascot in January, Booker led the Suns on a 10-game win streak while averaging 32 points. Last month, Booker dropped a season-high 49 points after the Denver Nuggets used the wrong photo for his team introduction.
