If I were to design an award for Burlok Sulfurgold, it would be the "Spent His Entire Career in the Shadow of Stars" trophy. Being a little more defensively minded and less of a sniper or a speedster, Burlok has almost always lagged behind his top teammates in the flashy scoring statistics. However he has always respectably held down a line defensively, while being able to chip in around 0.5 PPG. With a career high under 20 goals and less than 30 assists, it's in a reach in any sense of the word to say Burlok is grabbing much attention. He is a man of duty, and a real coach's pet.

I'm not sure Burlok is the type of player that will ever win a scoring title, or an MVP, or even a defensive award. But I do think that he'll be among the the quietest 2k TPE players of all time-- hidden behind stars like Kaarlo Kekkonen, Edward Williams, and Eric Hudson. So if we could design an award for "Guy that Trys Really Hard but is Surrounded by Much More Talented People"-- then I think he could maybe take that one home.
