Shan Foster Becomes NBA Jam Character, Awarded SEC Player of the Year

After a 42-point, 9 for 9 3-pt shooting performance (along with 3 nasty dunks!) in the 2nd half and overtime, Vanderbilt's Shan Foster was named SEC Player of the Year by the conference's coaches. Foster, who evidently traded mindsets with notorious 3-chucker Alex Gordon (see I'm Alex Fucking Gordon, Dec. 2007), simply caught fire in the 2nd half, turning the Commodores' 2nd-half offense into a game of dribble aimlessly for 30 seconds, pass to Shan, and watch him shoot.

I'm pretty sure this was a 3-pt. attempt.

Foster, who had become the team's all-time leader scorer in the previous game, was humble in victory. "This is the first game I hit nine 3s. To hit nine in a row, that blows my mind," The win kept the 'Dores undefeated at home, but continued their streak of having absolutely no good road wins, which will serve to undermine their NCAA tournament seeding (unless you count victories at Depaul or South Carolina).

Ben Hansbrough, who guarded Foster all night, could not be reached for comment. Presumably he was crying himself to sleep after resigning himself to the idea that he's become the new Eli Manning.

Foster beat out stiff competition to become Vandy's second straight Player of the Year, including MSU's Jamont Gordon (who lit up the Commodores before leaving the game in OT due to cramps), Tennessee's Chris Lofton and Tyler Smith, and Florida's Nick Calathes.
