Most logical choice ever ? He could also be on one of the All-NBA teams.

Re: Manu Ginobili is the 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year
Good choice. He wasn't an all-star this year, but definitely deserving of this.

Ginobili Wins 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year Award Presented by Kia Motors
Posted Apr 21 2008 12:39PM
NEW YORK, April 21, 2008 – Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs is the winner of the NBA Sixth Man Award presented by Kia Motors as the league’s best player in a reserve role for the 2007-08 season, the NBA announced today.
Ginobili received 615 out of a possible 620 points, including 123 of a possible 124 first-place votes, from a panel of 124 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns finished second with 283 points and Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks finished third with 44 points.
In order to be eligible for this award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started. 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.
As part of its support of the Sixth Man Award, Kia Motors will donate a brand-new 2009 Kia Borrego seven-passenger SUV on behalf of Ginobili to Roy Maas’ Youth Alternatives of San Antonio which is committed to caring for children in crisis. Each winner of the four year-end awards presented by Kia Motors will receive a Borrego on behalf of the player’s charity of choice.
A sixth man in 51-of-74 games played this season, Ginobili led the Spurs in scoring with a career-high average of 19.5 points to go along with 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.47 steals. He increased his scoring nearly 6.0 points over his career average entering this season (13.7 ppg). He is also the only player in the NBA to average at least 17 points in under 32.0 minutes per game.
Ginobili is the only player in the NBA ranked in the top 31 for points per game (31st), steals (16th), assists (28th), three-point field goals made (156, 16th), three-point field goal percentage (.401, 28th), free throws made (380, 16th) and free throw percentage (.860, 16th).

Re: Manu Ginobili is the 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year
Wonder if a bench player has ever made one of the All-NBA teams?

Re: Manu Ginobili is the 2007-08 Sixth Man of the Year
I've decided that this award is so dumb. Lets give an award to the 6th best player on a team!! Huh?!?! Since this actually is an award Ginobili deserves it every year but the award itself is so lame. The "award" to the player is that he might get to be a starter the following year and might get a good pay day...thats it(which is plenty)

And since I'm the last to read it I've reassigned it a Heat logo for comedy purposes.

He started twenty something games. At what point are you not a sixth man?
