ESPN just came out with another set of next years predictions. The MVP race! They have Lebron James number one. Why do you think they have him number one? He won it last year,and a safe guess from them.Same from there seeding for the East. They picked the two East teams number one and two.Who played in the East finals.It didn't hurt either they have two of the young studs of the league. The Lakers are the clear for sure champ next year.Why? Because they just won the title. They picked the same 3 guys who ended the MVP race last year.Whats so fun,and cutting edge about that.As fans thats a slap in the face.Like we don't know already who the best 3 players are.They needed to add more to it. They could have even put in Dwight Howard,or maybe Paul Pierce puts up better numbers,and the C's have the best record. Chris Paul i he helps the Hornets get back to the 2 seed.

All ESPN,and a lot of the other sports news sites out there do. Just pick the safe thing from the year before,or who is the hottest at the time in popularity. Yahoo sports comes out with better stuff,but can still be the same. We might have a flash back to 1984. Red said here's your dynasty. ESPN is saying we are going to get a new Laker dynasty.Will have to wait and see.The men in green have a problem with that.

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

not surprising

predictions mean nothing, and ESPN is wrong most of the time anyway

Sicne you asked,

I think the reason ESPN has LeBron James number one for the MVP race is because there is little evidence for believing anything other than that he will once again clearly be the league’s best and most dominant player.

picking lebron is the smart choicebecasue heis the most important player to his team. but picking the lakers now as the champs is just the nba writers not wanting to go out on a limb and regreting it later

Not sure I see it that way

In addition to being defending champs, the Lakers figure to be really, really good again this year. Picking LA, Cleveland, Boston, San Antonio or perhaps even Orlando (though I think they’re the least likely of these five, despite being defending East champs) to win it seems perfectly reasonable to me at this point.
