It’s not too often that Vince Carter will win this award, but he did tonight with 17:49 of playing time and no points. He took just one shot, turned the ball over six times and committed four fouls.

Clean and Sober Award (most minutes without taking a shot)

Psycho T isn’t a person you’d think would win a “Clean and Sober” award, but it was a strange night in the NBA. Tyler Hansbrough played 5:27 and did not attempt a shot against the Dallas Mavericks.

Iron Man Award (most minutes played)

Gotta love having non-stars wanting to play as many minutes as possible. Khris Middleton played 49:38 in the Bucks overtime loss to the Cavs. This comes after playing 51:38 just two days ago.
