  • Lou Williams Wins 6th Man of the Year!! Congrats Lou!!

    Crazy!

    NEW YORK — The Toronto Raptors' Lou Williams, who averaged a career-high 15.5 points this season and helped Toronto win a franchise-record 49 games, is the winner of the 2014-15 Kia NBA Sixth Man Award as the league's best player in a reserve role, the NBA announced today. The 6-1 guard becomes the first Raptors player to earn the honor.

    Williams, in his 10th NBA season and first with the Raptors, amassed 78 first-place votes and 502 total points from a panel of 130 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics finished second with 324 points (33 first-place votes), and two-time winner Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers was third with 131 points (eight first-place votes).

    Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote. To be eligible for the award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started.

    Congrats Lou. I think we have perfect relationship with him, most of the time we hate him, but tbh we kinda love him when he makes these crazy daggers.

    Anyway, Congrats.

    Good for him and Raps org.!

      Agreed. It's the epitome of a love hate relationship. When he's jacking bricks it's the worst thing to watch, but when he's dialed in, there's nothing sweeter.

      Congrats Loooouuuuu
      Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways

        Considering we acquired him for [basically] free, this has to be one of the greatest transactions in team history.

                As an aside, remember back in the day when Amir publicly stated his goals as earning DPOY? Those were the days....

                      Man, it's been so long since we won an award. First Rap since Vince won Rookie of the Year in 1999 I think.

                      Congrats Lou!!!

                        That is quite the honour...it is all-NBA and imo somewhat more valuable than an allstar nomination which frequently is a popularity contest. It's a single award and he also won it going away. Good payday coming up.

                        Now show us your game against the Whizzies.

                              Better or worse than the Indiana picking up David West...both stories share a lot of similarities.
