http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/05/pro_basketball_writers_honor_r.html
The Trail Blazers on Thursday were awarded with two awards given by the
Pro Basketball Writers Association, as Brandon Roy was voted as the winner
of the Magic Johnson Award while the Blazers were voted as having the best
public relations staff in the league.
The Magic Johnson Award was established in 2001 to recognize the player who
best combines excellence on the court with cooperation with the media and
fans. He beat out finalists Pau Gasol of the Lakers, Danny Granger of
Indiana and Chris Bosh of Toronto. Last year, Roy was a finalist but the
Lakers' Derek Fisher won.
"We are very proud to have Brandon join a group of outstanding previous
winners of the Magic Johnson Award,'' said Doug Smith, president of the
PBWA. "As one of the young generation of NBA stars, his ability and
willingness to meet the ever-increasing demands of the media with honesty,
consistency and respect for the needs of writers and broadcasters - and
by extension the fans - makes him a very worthy addition to an impressive
list of former winners.''
Previous winners:
2001 - Ray Allen
2002 _ Elton Brand
2003 _ Jalen Rose
2004 _ Jermaine O'Neal
2005 _ Antawn Jamison
2006 _ Grant Hill
2007 _ Shane Battier
2008 _ Derek Fisher
2009 _ Brandon Roy
The Blazers public relations staff, headed by vice president Cheri Hanson
and lead by Jim Taylor and Collin Romer, were voted the best by league
writers over finalists from Atlanta, Detroit and Washington.
"Anyone who has dealings with Cheri and her staff, in Portland or at home,
can attest to their professionalism, ability to deal with issues the moment
they arise and their willingness to help solve any problems that come up,''
said Smith, the PBWA president who covers the Toronto Raptors. The public
relations staffs in Phoenix and Toronto have previously won the award.
The PBWA comprises writers from newspapers, internet sites and magazines
who cover the league on a regular basis.
