Quote :

" The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar will lead his team into this week's NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, but in July, he may have a more formidable foe: Anthony Atkinson. Barton College sports information director John Hackney confirmed Wednesday that Atkinson was in the running for two prizes at ESPN's annual awards show, The ESPYs, on July 11. For his stunning performance in the NCAA Division II national championship, Atkinson has been nominated for Best Finish to a Game and Best Individual Performance in a Championship. The 5-foot-11 senior point guard scored 10 points in 45 seconds to propel Barton from a seven-point deficit to a 77-75 victory over previously unbeaten Winona (Minn.) State University. Atkinson's buzzer-beating layup was broadcast live on CBS, earning him and the Bulldogs national fame. Now, he could find himself before a national television audience again at The ESPYs in the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Calif. "

Wilson's very own Ant Akinson is up against LeBron James and others July 15th on ESPN for two awards. plz go vote on the 25th. I will bump this on that day.

Voting Starts June 25th: http://www.espn.go.com

gets my vote. I was in a wedding on Barton's campus a few weeks ago. Amazing how small that school is, they may need local help getting votes...

This may surprise you, but we don't really care about Wilson, and we REALLY don't care about Barton College.

6/29/2007 1:16:59 PM

i'm fortunate to live 2 miles down the road from him yet never have seen him in like 5 years

6/30/2007 12:05:15 AM

Barton got hosed....that was the best finish I have ever seen to ANY sport.

Unreal comeback and in the National Championship game.
