My vote for the Most Valuable Player Award goes to Micheal Ray Richardson.
Hopefully, what has happened to Micheal will not only prove valuable to
other NBA players but to the whole society in general!!

Just a thought . . .

	I agree with you that English is vastly underrated.  His shot is
*probably* better than Bird's, and his passing is at least as good.  But
Bird is a much better rebounder, is a better free throw shooter, and has
that ability to make everyone else look a lot better than they are.
	I despise the Celtics, but Bird is definitely the league's MVP.
