Like tom pointed out, their wasn't a clear front-runner that year, which was why Hawk snuck in there. The fact that Murphy finished 11th in the voting supports that; there really were 10+ possible candidates, and the only one who really stood out from the pack (Clark) missed a whole lot of games to injury.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
