May Wins, Davis Snubbed
 Congrats Peter May, you managed to kibosh the evil Ricky Davis' shot at the 6th man award. This must be a proud day for you. Hope you're happy with yourself.
To recap, here's the series of events as best I can remember them. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ricky having a fantastic year coming off the bench, providing the spark that this team needs (while May still openly complains about the trade that brought him over).
Stackhouse gets injured, leaving Gordon and Davis as the leading candidates (See week 20)
Momentum builds around the league with stories promoting Ricky Davis as a 6th man leader
May decides to pen an article stating that Ricky is really like a starter because he plays so many minutes, ignoring the fact that McHale, and several non-Celtic 6th man winners had also played long (and often longer) minutes in the years in which they won. (See TAKPAL's list)
The next power rankings showed that Marc Stein had been swayed by May's arguement (See week 23)
Sentiment shifts to the young, innocent, non-reputation-scarred Ben Gordon (who actually does have a legit claim to be a finalist for the award).
West Coast writers who are too lazy to do the research themselves, take May for his word and give the award to Gordon
pathetic
