Maybe it will give him motivation to play defense?

The flops will be extra spectacular this week.

In all seriousness though, he is a great player. I've never been impressed with his outside shooting but he's as good as they come at getting to the paint, creating shots and maneuvering around the basket. And his floor awareness is outstanding. I enjoy watching him play (when he isn't whining). That could hurt his stature as well.

Unfortunately, for him King was just spectacular all season and made the biggest shots at the biggest times of the year. That's what being an MVP is all about.

I don't think there is any question Elmore will be the runaway front runner for next year if he returns.
