How can anyone honestly say JJ, before this year nobody liked JJ except chicks who thought he was hot. He has really stepped it up this year and is deffinetly at the top of my list on other things but not overall. Shard showed us his importance after missing ten games, Meer would deff be my second choice due to his leadership and overall toughness he brings to the court.

He just goes about his business every game, always plays hard. He’s done whatever Stan’s asked him to (except go back into that game against Utah hah), has changed his position basically, and with that has helped spark the craze for the “stretch 4”. And he has very quietly turned into a really solid defender at this new position.

Jameer gets my second place vote. I love his attitude and his game when he’s on. Ice-cold threes off the dribble and finishes great in the lane even though he’s probably not even 6 feet tall.

I like Shard, but the dude should be better than he is sometimes. Meer is the man, I know he hasn’t been healthy which is very frustrating. He is one of the main leaders on this team and if he gets healthy and you do this poll again, I would expect him to be the leader.

It’s NOT what he’s done this season… this is just the culmination of a four year struggle, when the "other" coach would not even play him… AT ALL!!! Redick came with one of the best resumes in basketball. Now, everyone knew he also had some obvious shortcomings; mostly a weak defense and a one-dimensional offensive attack. The lack of confidence shown towards him shook his nerve; he lost his touch. His career became a slippery rollercoaster ride… and the verbal abuse just kept coming!

It got to the point that he even asked to be traded, just to be able to play.

But all through this, you could see his effort, a tenacious drive to become a better team player. Arguably, he’s worked harder than any other Magic player to improve, first his physical conditioning so he can better chase those elusive guards he has to defend, and two, refine his three-point shot and broaden his offensive options to fill whatever need the Team require at any given time.

It has and still is, a work in progress…

But, along the way J.J. Redick has become much more than a spot shooter; his "feel" for the game is amazing and his passes are, for the most part, spot on. At his still young age, he shows more restraint and discipline as a shooter than Carter, or MP!

And even though he’s not the fastest guard on the Team (not even close…), BY SHEER WILL, he runs up and down the court as fast as anyone… when he has to. One example; against Utah, he made a mistake, which resulted in a fast break opportunity for the Jazz. In a sublime effort to prevent the basket, incredibly, he chased down the player, and knocked the ball from behind, saving a sure basket.

The other players on this list are all fine; each with great professional attributes. But… for my wife and I, it’s J.J. Redick. His focused, disciplined approach to the game and the sheer energy an unselfish demeanor he brings to the table, are the "stuff" that makes a mans true character. Something even my young daughters recognize and admire. May God bless him!

for his unrelenting commitment to getting better.he has shown what it means to be a true pro.if your not good at something keep working at it till you are.what a great role model for the community.
