Now that Marcus Camby is the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, he's looking ahead -- and behind.

The Denver Nuggets' 33-year-old center said that while he cherishes winning the award for the first time in his 11-year pro career, he'd much rather be celebrating a championship in a couple of months.

But how many get to use the occasion to take a jab at those who excluded him from the All-Star team?
It's kind of ironic how I can win the award and not make the All-Star team," Camby said Friday. "The last couple of years I felt I had a great opportunity to be on that team. So, hopefully, next year with this award behind me, I can start getting some recognition about being on that team.

So what does that say for the NBA AllStar Selection???
