NBA takes away Dell Curry's rookie vote

NEW YORK (AP)—The NBA has taken away Charlotte Bobcats broadcaster Dell Curry’s rookie of the year vote because his son is among the leading candidates for the award.

Curry’s son, Stephen Curry, is averaging 17.2 points and 5.9 assists per game for Golden State. He and Kings guard Tyreke Evans, who is averaging 20.3 points and 5.8 assists, are considered the front-runners to be top rookie.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank says Dell Curry will be allowed to vote for all the other postseason awards, but the league did not want to put him in an awkward position with the rookie award.

Curry played 16 seasons in the NBA with five teams.

Franks says the league will replace Curry with another voter who covers the Bobcats, but has not picked a replacement yet.

Bullshit!

Yeah I dont really agree with this. How many people vote on it? I dont think if Dell votes for his son its gonna kill Tyreke's chances.

That's pretty crap. Pretty sure Howie Long was able to vote for his son in the NFL a few years back.

I see no issue.... and they are giving the vote to another member of Bobcats media. He still has his other votes so it's a non issue. This way his objectivity cannot be called in to question, especially if the difference in the winner was one vote... Great way to be proactive.

Who cares. It still goes to someone with the Bobcats. Who do you think that guy's going to vote for?

true--

i think they should take away Dell's MVP vote too.. and DMVP.. u know Dell is just gonna vote for his son.. he will probably vote Steph as the 6th man too.. this year is just tainted- we probably shud just not have the voting- it damages everyone's ego who loses
