What a day for basketball, Kobe dropping 60 in his final game, GSW breaking wins record, Spurs having best home record ever, and Jordan Mcrae scoring 36. Best day in basketball history.

Everyone knew McRae was United's real MVP that season but his attitude was considered poor so I think giving the award to Wortho was more to spite him than anything.

I agree with above statement. I don't think many were thrilled to have him around the team...

Zodiac, I was being very sarcastic. McCrae was by far the best player on that weak United team. Jusy funny that they were so bitter they actually gave a prestigious award to a has been hah McCrae has definitely moved on now though.

If someone hurts the team more than helps them they are not the MVP. I suspect every opposition team would have been happy for Melbourne to have re-signed him.

Paul please, he was a gun player and based on that mentality why give it to Worthington! He is known as being a woeful teammate... McCrae was the only highlight on that team.

Not to mention Wortho was out of contract and as soon as they gave him that MVP award they turned around and then made him a low-ball offer they knew he wouldn't accept and he thus signed with Cairns.

No doubting his individual scoring talent, but his inability to defend or execute what the team was trying to run meant he gave back almost as much as he scored.

McCrae was the real team MVP of that team, move on. Was a simple joke made, no need to dissect it.

Funnily enough, he and Worthington had exactly the same statistical rating that season. So even taking out factors like the ability to defend or execute he wasn't clear of Wortho.

No doubt he was the anonymous fanboys favourite though, even if he doesn't know how to spell his name.

McRae wasn't a good NBL import.

Simples.

He might become a good NBA player, although he didn't help his team win games in this country.

As with most players, it is about the right fit, system and coaching.

United were a bit dysfunctional and he isn't the mature leader to right the ship. However, is he is a very talented scorer as he's shown this year in the US. It's still a nice advertisement for the NBL that players with this talent chose to start their professional careers here. Whether it was a success or not, I'm sure he learned some lessons that can help him with the rest of his career.
