I'm sure NBA fans realize how good he has been this year and have appropriate respect for his game, but it seems as if he gets very little media attention or hype. I suspect he is mostly unknown to casual observers of the NBA.

Is it simply due to the market he is in and the fact that he wasn't a huge name in college?

This is the God's honest truth...I had never heard of the guy in any form until he won that award. Blame the NBA I guess...I can name a lot of NBA players, many of them for the wrong reasons. It is all about who the "chosen ones" are with the league and ESPN.

Is this a joke? He got a lot of hype during the season. ESPN played his highlights a lot.
