We at Project Spurs love us some quotes on DeJuan Blair. Sports Illustrated put together a set of draft awards, and we have one of them!

The George Lucas "Phantom Menace" Award

To DeJuan Blair's knees, which begrudgingly accept this award from Darrell Arthur's kidney in last year's draft, and apparently negate the fact that he dominated the entire Big East for most of last season. No, folks, that double-double he averaged at Pitt was clearly not worth one of the draft's first 36 picks. Definitely a smarter move to let him slip to San Antonio, where he'll contribute a ferocious 20 minutes a game and bolster an already loaded roster. Definitely. At what point do we just start blaming other teams for the Spurs' success and stop giving them all the credit?
