For those of you interested in reading about year-end awards in the NBA, here is what I believe to be the clear-cut winner in the field of "Line of the Year."

The recipient: Mark Madsen, for his drugged-out, who-gives-a-flying-f**k performance in Minnesota's final game of the season, Wednesday, April 19, vs. Memphis.

Minutes: 30
Field goals: 1 for 15
3-point: 0 for 7
Free throws: 0 for 2
Rebounds: 4 (Offensive Reb: 1)
Assists: 1
Turnovers: 1
Steals: 0
Blocks: 0
Personal fouls: 3
Points: 2

This was a man on a mission, my friends. It didn't matter what team he was playing, who was guarding him, what the score was, whether his team was down by 1 or 100. Mark Madsen was going to do everything in his power to hoist as many 3-pointers as he could and ensure that his team would fail in its season finale.

And by golly, he did it -- 102-92, Memphis.

One of the more inspired NBA performances in quite some time.
