I presume that's why - although of course, Jordan is probably the more popular choice. It seems like all these awards are named after Top 75 guys - which, of course, makes some sense. But it's a little weird to not have the DPOY, MVP, etc named after the players who won the most of those awards.

Then again, the Jamal Crawford 6MOY award just sounds wrong. So whatever - makes sense from a branding perspective.
