Sactown Royalty Midseason Awards

The season is 41 games done. By blog law (which is sort-of like shariah law, but different), we are required to assess the first half of 2007-08.

The big award -- First Half MVP -- will be decided by you, the voters. The poll will close Monday afternoon. It's on the right side of the main page. Just know that every time you vote for someone other than Kenny Thomas, a puppy in heaven gets kicked by St. John the Apostle.

For the remaining awards, however, I'll make some executive decisions. Feel free to call me names in the comments section.

Previous winner: Etchings by Ron Artest.
2007-08 Runners-up: John Salmons' beard removal, Spencer Hawes' shaved head.
