New Orleans point guard Chris Paul won the NBA's Rookie of the Year award on Wednesday after helping the Hornets double their win total in a season where they were forced out of their home city because of Hurricane Katrina.

Paul was a runaway choice for the award, receiving all but one of the 125 first-place votes from a panel of media members from across the United States and Canada. Utah guard Deron Williams  who was taken with the No. 3 pick in last year's draft, one spot ahead of Paul  received the only other first-place vote.

It was the largest margin of victory since San Antonio's David Robinson was a unanimous choice in 1990.

Paul led all rookies in points (16.1), assists (7.8), steals (2.2), double-doubles (21), minutes played (36.4) and triple-doubles (2). He also became the second NBA rookie to lead the league in steals, joining Brevin Knight.

The 6-foot point guard left Wake Forest after his sophomore season to enter the NBA, and helped the Hornets  who played their home games in Oklahoma City  win 38 games a year after they won just 18.

:boohoo: it's time to get over it...no matter who should have won. The arguments are old. Nash won, and Kobe wasn't even voted in the top 3. Probably for the same reason Kobe is sitting at home while Nash is still playing basketball.
