As stated way back on March 23rd:
Yup, I’m declaring April 5th ‘Unsung Player Day’… we should recognize the guys who toil and work hard every day, for no recognition. Well, today’s your day. In reality, these guys are just as responsible for making the NBA what it is today – every team needs role-players, guys to come on and give that valuable 2-5 minutes. Without them, there is no NBA. I would encourage NBA bloggers to put up an ‘unsung player’ on their blog on April 5th. (link)
And here it is. This will be the central thread keeping track of all stuff that’s put up in Blogfrica on Unsung Players across the league.
- First up: Stop Mike Lupica tell us all about Joel Anthony… replete with vid-clips
- LOY’s PLACE offers up Kendrick Perkins…
- And One Cleveland.com thinks that Devin Brown doesn’t get the kudos he deserves…
- Rob (brumbygg9 here) from our very own site regards Leon Powe as in need of some lovin’…
- Be introduced to Steve Novak, over at Feet In The Paint…
- Biased Fan assures us that CJ Miles fits the bill as an ‘Unsung Player’…
- Golden State’s Kelenna Azubuike is the guy HoopsAddict have put in the spotlight…
- The On Deck Circle have three submissions. The first is a great piece on the ‘Unsung International Game‘, next they offer the NCAA Unsung Tournament Team, and finish up with a list of 5 guys they feel fit the bill…
- Give Me The Rock gives tribute to Ryan Gomes (and they want presents??)…
- And the other half of Give Me The Rock toasts Danny Granger…
- Daily Basketball offers up one of my favourite Jazz – Paul Millsap…
- Rick over at Waiting For Next Year is another Devin Brown fan…
- I Want To Be A Sports Agent’s Darren Heitner has some praise for Luther Head…
- Someone sharing Rob’s fan-dom of Leon Powe – CelticsBlog…
- Clips Nation sings the praises of Nick Fazekas…
- SportsTsar thinks that Ronny Turiaf needs some limelight…
- I’m impressed: Red’s Army – a Celtics Blog – went with David West (of the Hornets) for this…
- 3 Shades of Blue puts Jason Collins on a pedestal for a day…
- T-Wolves Blog sings up Greg Buckner & Michael Doleac…
- Empty The Bench hits us with 5 Glue Guys you gotta read about…
- Jon over at Passion & Pride (of MVN) tells us all about Calvin Booth…
- Peja Stojaki… Stoya… Stojakovic(!) gets some lovin’ from Hornets247…
- My own submission – Maceo Baston…
- Hardwood Paroxysm (they of the Kobe Bryant Blog Day) present Richard Jefferson…
- We Rite Good present Juan Dixon…
- Probably the last addition to this, and it’s from Hardwood Paroxysm – The Memphis Grizzlies. Yes, all of them.
Stay tuned, updates as I find them/get them…

Great job with this!
Biased Fan
Somebody please write about David Lee for pete’s sake… The guy hasn’t complained once and he’s playing behind Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph of all people. He works hard night in and night out too; one of the few highlights on the Knicks right now.
Which is exactly he’s not an ‘Unsung Player’. David Lee gets his kudos… granted, maybe the Knicks stink so bad that he doesn’t get as much as he should, but he does get noticed.
