Thanks to Nique's All-NBA All-Blog Team idea and Bleed's suggestions of other bloggers who are worthy of being NBA All-Blogger, I came up with my own version based on the seasonal awards given to NBA players and coaches.

MVP: Hoffman. Not only does Hoffy represent the Lakers well on these blogs, he's also one of the best objective thinkers of the game when it comes to intelligent debate. He started ballerblogger.com and has had a tremendous following, mostly due to his fantastic reputation. He knows his stuff, his blogs are among the best, and he's on almost everybody's "favorites" list. He scores when he needs to (his blogs always get a ton of hits and his blogs are always among the most popular), passes the rock when appropriate (thanks for making me moderator of the Lakers Fan Group), and is always clutch (rarely, if at all, does he ever gets his facts wrong).

Defensive Player of the Year: Nique.  No brainer here folks. This one's a unanimous winner for one simple reason - No blogger in FoxSports is on the defensive as much as Nique is. Attacked from all angles by haters, criticized at every opportunity by LeBronists, and scrutinized even by Lakers fans for not appreciating Lamar Odom, Nique will defend her turf to the fullest extent and call you a "creepazoid" while you're at it. She'll block your shot, er blog (delete, delete, delete) and most importantly, she'll play lockdown defense, get up in your face, and let you know about it even if she has to send you a separate comment on your personal inbox.

Sixth Man Award: JoshQ.Public.  A sixth man provides a spark for his team. A sixth man brings the intangibles to the table. A sixth man can do it all - score, assist, and rebound. A sixth man can have flair yet can be fundamentally sound at the same time. Without the guy off the bench to bring the energy and enthusiasm, the game becomes boring and predictable. With his unique ability to mix entertaining prose with rap lyrics, symbols, pictures, humor, knowledge, and Boston homerism all into one article, JoshQ. is your Sixth Man of the Year for he brings his all around game every time he steps on the court. If he were putting up blogs every week, he'd be a starter on any team in the league.

Most Improved Player: Underage. The young one went from barely learning how to put up a graphic to being a regular contributor to these blogs. Underage comes to play every single day and is always appreciative of everyone's support. When it comes to class, underage has got it locked down pat. Never one to get into a skirmish, Underage is 100% positive about sports and life, and is getting better and better by the nanosecond. By the time Underage is all grown up, he'll probably be MVP.

Rookie of the Year: Orman1006. Just like that, in 1006 words, the Portland resident seized the trophy in convincing fashion. Despite his endearing devotion and homerism to the Jailblazers, I mean Trailblazers, Orman has proven in just a short time that the man knows his basketball. Seemingly out of nowhere, he entered the dungeon that is FoxSports and took the blogosphere by storm with an array of creative and insightful blogs. He'll respect you if  you talk intelligently. He'll entertain you if you talk common sense. And above all, he'll blast you if you talk nonsense. Just think of it as being Ormanized.

Coach of the Year: Tom7. He speaks like a coach. He talks like a coach. He analyzes like a coach. He teaches like a coach. And I'm sure he coaches like a coach. That's because he is a coach. And a winning one at that. This guy knows his stuff like the back of his hand. I'm not kidding, he's like the ZenMaster of the blogs. Right when you think you know it all, he'll pull something out of the bag to make you realize you've got to do more homework. Just check out his blogs and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Executive of the Year: Ubershorty. Uber, as we like to call him, thinks of so many trade scenarios he probably spends his weekends adjusting rosters on his XBOX 360. Move over ESPN, this guy is the real deal Trade Machine. Whether it's a one-player deal or a Mega blockbuster, Uber will have a scenario specifically tailored to your team. The only problem is getting some of these moves to go down. Because at the end of the day, we all know the best moves are the moves you don' t make. Nonetheless if you have questions about your roster, this is the man you want to consult with because he's got the latest scoop (still waiting on that Lamar Odom trade on Tuesday).

First Team All-NBA (Offense)

G: BleedPRPL&GLD. A guy that bleeds his team's colors deserves to run the point on my team any day 24-7-365. Including Christmas Day. Quick as a cat, strong as a T-Rex, and better looking than a Cro-Magnon, Bleed can do it all, from superior knowledge of the game to witty and clever humor.

G: TcbDog. The way he fires back with precision, tcbdog definitely brings it. He's a big-time Kobe loyalist and he'll back him up full throttle the way Kobe sinks daggers with three defenders draped all over him. The thing about it is, this dawg doesn't back down. Kinda like Kobe.

G: Reverend Rhythm (late addition). Simply put, when the Reverend speaks, everyone listens. I've always like his blog. His unique perspective is often punctuated by his matter-of-fact, straight-to-the-point take on sports. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Guys like the Reverend, who are aggressive on offense and aren't afraid to take the big shot, are legitimate first-teamers in my mind.

C: Alaskanballa: Anytime a guy will write a blog simply to try and stump me on some sports trivia, I have no choice but to annoint him the center on my team. And anytime a guy "just loves a good debate with an intelligent fan", it tells me the guy knows what he's talking about. And at the center position, you need a player who knows what he's doing. Plus, the guy is a baller in real life.

F: Ricko. The veteran FoxSports blogger receives this award because of his consistency. Don't get me wrong, this is not a Lifetime Achievement Award, but from time to time Ricko still makes an appearance and continues to prove he hasn't lost his wit. He's the most knowledgeable Suns fan out there, and his ability to provide us with a tremendous amount of insight and combine it with entertaining sarcasm has truly earned my utmost respect despite our heated battles from the past. For those of you who don't know our history, let's just say it was like Magic vs. Bird.

F: Lisa Horne. Indeed, her talk is "straight talk from the left coast" to the nth degree. Lisa knows her s-h-!-t blindfolded. Whether it's college football, major league baseball, pro hoops, politics, or other stuff,  Lisa H is a contributing writer for FoxSports by no mistake. I thought I couldn't be beat when we did our "He Said, She Said" blogs during this year's NBA Finals, and lo and behold, I was humbly defeated by this die-hard Celtic.

First Team All-NBA (Defense)

G: The Sizzel. Always defending LeBron. Always stealing the spotlight away from KOBE!!. Always all over these blogs with his unrelenting sarcasm, wit, and humor. Always getting into it with Nique. Always sizzling with hot topics. Always reminding us of Donaghe. My point is, the guy is all over the place. He's relentless, especially with those damn archives. You've got to respect that and that's why he's on my all-defensive squad. Fo' Shizzle Sizzel.

G: Gambitxxx. Aside from the fact he's another one of those bloggers who really know what they're talking about and have proven it, there's only one other reason why Gambit makes the all-defense team. He hails from Louisiana and roots for his hometown Hornets, yet he occasionally defends his first love Lakers when the situation calls for it. That's what I call a true defender right there.

C: Tsunami. Any blogger who has a name that could wreak havoc on Planet Blog is automatically on the first team. No questions asked. My recent debate with him on his Manu-Kobe blog gave me a newfound sense of respect for the guy. Although I already knew he knew his basketball, he defended his position with knowledge and class as opposed to spitting out nonsense like a lot of other bloggers do. If he weren't a tsunami, he'd probably be called Apocalypto.

F: DownsA529. He's a Detroit fan but stresses that he's not a homer. He will vent on topics that irritate him yet he shows his respect for people who debate intelligently even if they don't share his same views. He ain't no pushover despite the looks of his jolly smile. And anytime someone calls himself a "sports nut", you know he'd go into battle with you any day. He gives you "random sports thoughts" and lists his All-Time NBA teams with striking  accuracy. He'll even give you his sports trivia quiz on occasion just to make sure your offensive game is in check.

F: NBA is the Worst. With him in the frontcourt and Sizz in the backcourt, no blogger is going to get by with a clean pass. You will be scrutinized, you will be searched, you will be drug tested, you will be criticized, and you may have to sample a hair follicle. Don't let that picture of David Stern fool you. Worst is no softie. One moment you think he's all sarcasm, next time around he spits knowledge to your dome that will paralyze you like a set of Stern's rules and regulations. Worst can be accommodating and cool, but don't get on his bad side because he'll d you up like Rodman. NBA is the Worm.

Thanks, bloggers, for making my time here on FoxSports totally worthwhile. I know I get into it with some of you, but know that despite my occasional temper flares, I have a tremendous amount of respect for everyone here. 

The combined knowledge that is being circulated among everyone here makes this forum the best in the business and because of you I am able to learn more about the world of sports. With basketball being my favorite sports subject, this is my way of paying tribute to some of my favorite writers here.

The exchange of opinions and information that goes on totally beats reading the sports page every morning while sitting on the s-h-!-t-t-e-r.

And oh, before I forget. The Lakers' Assault Continues...
