Peace1, I think what Jackie was referring to is your emphasis on how good Sonam and Rinzin are based on their dribbling ability. I think that you over look their overall impact on the game. Granted, they played well at both ends, but at the same time, they were not out their rebounding and guarding the hoop when the guards over gambled. In fact, how can you defend these guys when their team did not make it past the quarter finals. NYNYC lost to a team that was crushed by DC. Its one thing to say the shorties got lucky with their threes, but a lot of blame has to be put on NY for not handling the pressure and not defending. Its not whether they got hot or not, but more importantly, why were they even allowed to get hot in the first place. One thing that gets over looked is that guys like Sonam and Rinzin ran circles around the bigger guys, but once they faced guards their height who by no means were fast but could take care of the ball, they were out done. So much for the regular height argument.

As for MVP, no doubt, Saurav is the best. Credit has to be given to DH... note... the team... because they played as a team and each player filling their role to the best of their abilities. Position by position, DH has the best player... the have the best scorer, the best all around, the best rebounder and the best defender by far. DC has similar talent  level also, gusy like Bubba, Mahip and the back to back dirtiest player of the tournament: Devashish and Ritesh... but like LT said, if you aint cheating, you aint trying ;-)
